This was a great post, John. I'm glad I found it on Notes. You say that your writing is the better for Substack's existence, but I suspect that Substack is also better for your writing and presence. Thank you.

I love this John, and admire the ways you're creating, engaging, and thinking about community. I recall Katherine May writing a while back about who community is for--how it can be insidious when it's not of your own choosing, e.g., when you live in a neighborhood or small town and your actions are watched and if you have a disability or don't look the right way, or simply don't like to engage you can be treated with derision. I think the ways we build and find and connect with others needs to be part of the conversation about community, and I love that this piece highlights that. 💜
