Welcome to Earth School and thanks for visiting my substack! I have so many half-essays and writing experiments collecting proverbial dust on my desktop that I’m excited to reimagine and share with you. Along with an abundance of ideas endlessly slinky-ing back and forth in my brain. They’re like little kids in the backseat of my minivan mind with no idea where we’re all going, but know they’ve been in this car for too damn long. Get me out! They’re shouting at me. So, being the generous thought-parent I am, here we are.

I would love to say I’m solely a self-motivated writer, but in my heart of hearts I know that community is what keeps me going. So I’m committing to share at least one monthly newsletter here. If you want to read more about me or the direction of this thing, check out my About page.

Your engagement (subscriptions, questions, comments, likes, shares, etc.) is the IV drip in my bloodstream, and I hope you know how much it nourishes me! Which is to say, thank you. Thank you for receiving my writing now and wherever we end up going from here. 

Newsletter #1 goes out Monday September 23rd, so subscribe if you don’t want to miss it.

Until then,
Makayla
