'Stack Recommendations
climate, ecology, nature, crofts, writing, prose, poetry ... going differently to Heal the Future.
Substack may have mushroomed over the last year or so - and shifted from a writing platform with a difference, and through the addition os Notes a social media platform with a difference. It has been difficult to read follow, engage and restack all the wonderful things being shared around climate, ecology, nature, crofts, writing, prose, poetry, … going differently … those aspects (in my mind) that help us hold the bigger picture - to heal the future.
As I have been reviewing those I follow, subscribe to and recommend, I thought it may be useful to pull a selection together into a post, and share my recommended ‘stacks for you to take a look at.
For this, for me substack isn’t about huge numbers of subscribers, free or paid - but in creating a commons and a community of inspiration. So to all below, thank you for all you are doing and sharing.
and do note that these authors are great writers and sharers away from substack on their own or other platforms, posts, journals, magazines or books
