What's Working: vol 15
curated links + monthly community sharing space
My dear reader.
A small change:
Our What’s Working round-up for paid subscribers is moving from end-of-month to mid-month, to create a little more space between my two non-essay offerings here at Wild Letters — this column and the Rose Thorn Bud podcast. Everything else remains the same, and I’ll be back in your inbox next Monday with a new essay about the yardsticks (some helpful, some not) that we use to measure our lives.
Thank you so much for being here with me!

Leaving social media is something I talked about recently as well, in this conversation with Amelia Hruby for her wonderful podcast, Off The Grid.
