Culture. Politics. Music. Art. Ideas.

I've been reading Jeff Chang and assigning his work in my classes for years. What a gift to have him on Substack, too.

Writing, Wandering, Wondering

By Deesha Philyaw

Writer. Wandering. Wondering. Wilding.

From the Desk of Andre Margatini

Author, teacher, good dude, makes lots of wacky art, bad drawings, social commentateur, capitalism critic. An eccentric, erratic, and downright bizarre newsletter from the desk of Andre Margatini.

Smart, sharp takes on culture, identity, ethics, and revolution. No one better.

Our Bodies: Ourselves

By Liddy

Stories about people and bodies, and how our bodies are people. Come for disability, reproductive, and body justice; stay for a warm hug and a soft place to be in community.

Liddy's writing is grounded, compelling, and above all, wise. This newsletter is a must-read.

Imagine Otherwise

By Mihee Kim-Kort

A place to imagine (a world) otherwise by the stories we share with each other. Looking at religion, race, (Asian American) culture. Talking church, faith, and spirituality. Engaging practices of belonging and solidarity.

There's an irresistible pull in Mihee's writing - toward authenticity, toward community, and toward liberation. Every post nudges us ever more toward ourselves.

postcards from the end of the world

By Leah Piepzna-Samarasinha

DJ TJ practice, tools and poetry, structural engineering, archive in progress from a real one known to be on one.

The Chatner

By Daniel Lavery

A newsletter about rejiggered classics, transmasculine underpinnings of the plucky heroine, and the failure-limits of graciousness, from table manners to family estrangement.

I loved the Dear Prudence collection - thrilled to find Daniel on Substack as well!
