Today, I’m sharing some great pieces from other Substacks.
If you’ve moved around much in the Substack ecosystem, you know that authors often recommend other newsletters, and I probably recommend too many, but there are so many great folks doing great work here. Today’s selections don’t have a theme; they just got my interest and appreciation, so…
I got you a box of a half dozen treats selected from other substacks.
(standard caveat: my recommendation to read these pieces does not imply that I agree with every word)

Grace & peace,
