Life's a Feast with Jamie Schler

Tara Dublin Is Trying to Sell Her Book to Hollywood!

I’ve self-published THE SOUND OF SETTLING, A Rock and Roll Love Story. Now it’s time to manifest the eventual streaming series I can already visualize.

Tara keeps it real, tells it like it is and has a unique voice that keeps the reader engaged. Love reading her work!

Bug-eyed and Shameless

By Justin Ling

Dispatches from the fringes of the information war

Brittlestar's Really Great

A field guide for life.

The Midst

The gateway drug to the modern midlife experience. (And an independent media project by the makers of Venus Zine and Jumble & Flow.)

When midlife and real life intersect, you need to know that others are going through it too, and it's not so bad. I love The Midst for this reason. The articles are well-written, engaging, timely and on point.

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

By Joyce Vance

Worried about the state of the republic? Get the legal knowledge & analysis you need to be an advocate for democracy, along with a dose of savvy optimism.

Joyce Vance is incredible. The amount of knowledge, insight and understanding she has is beyond significant. Not to mention that she writes a fulsome and detailed account about the current goings-on re: Trump on a regular basis. She's a one-stop shop for all things related to Trump's multitude of court cases.

The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump

By Mary L Trump

In which we come together to save American democracy, or at least have fun while trying.

I love Mary Trump! She tells it like it is and gives us the real scoop on her uncle Donald. And I'm sure he doesn't like this fact at all. More reason to read her Substack!

Oldster Magazine

By Sari Botton

Exploring what it means to travel through time in a human body, at every phase of life.

What's an "Oldster," anyway? It's all a state of mind. The interviews and questionnaires of people "of a certain age" are interesting, insightful and enlightening. One of the many reasons that I love this publication :)

Day In The Life

By Tom a pissed off cat

A satirical look at American, Canadian. UK politics seen through the eyes of an extremely pissed off cat who is baffled by the behavior of the two-legs in his orbit

This angry cat is politically dialled in and conveys his perspectives through humour. You know what they say: "many a truth is said in jest."
