If you want to feel less alone in the world, or to hold in opposite hands the sacred and the scientific (or the broken and the beautiful) get thee over to Touching the Elephant. Kendall truly understands that our contradictions are what make us whole. I trust this woman implicitly.
Subscribing to FORD KNOWS is like having a long-standing, weekly date with your best friend. You don’t know what you’re going to get, but you know for sure it’s going to be good. Your life will be significantly improved by having Mr. Troy Ford in it, I can assure you.
Ben offers so much. His fiction is beyond rich, his non-fiction has a rare depth, and his talent for production actually scares me. I adore him. And you will, too.
Bryan promises joy and wonder, and boy does he deliver—prepare to be spellbound. Chasing Nature brings my appreciation of the natural world more sharply into focus with each photograph and every post. Bryan is doing a great service here; avail yourself.
If writing were a Medieval map, Adam’s work would exist in one of the uncharted areas which say ‘Here Be Dragons’—only, ‘Here Be Gold’ might be more accurate.
Jill doesn’t know this, but we are best friends. We have never met, but through Life Litter I have joined each of her ingeniously recounted adventures, I feel her mortification as though it were my own and I roll my eyes in solidarity as she navigates Life. Each post is an unmissable read.
Colu pours love into everything. She is a modern day Hedone (Greek goddess of pleasure) and her Substack has brought serious amounts of delight into our household. Subscribe as a matter of urgency.
A new, beautiful, meditative song every month, accompanied by beautiful imagery and poetry. The ultimate invitation into stillness. I highly recommend becoming a paid subscriber, not only to support Fog Chaser's exceptional work - but because you get sent an envelope of beautiful, magical, haunting things!!
If your soul needs nourishing, head here immediately. Amanda sprinkles deep wisdom and mystical truths like confetti, and her poetry always facilitates a homecoming. For reconnection to what is most important, there is no better Substack.
Jason somehow writes with a scientific rigor and poetic grace that makes the overwhelming reality of this particular planetary moment both stark and bearable. Being human in the Anthropocene is chaotic terrain, and Jason is a seasoned sherpa.
