Join me on Notes

A new place to connect

Dear Readers,

I’ve just finished writing and editing The UPSTATE AMERICAN column that you’ll get Saturday morning, and I wanted to offer you another opportunity to connect. Earlier this week, I published my first note on Substack Notes. I think of it as being a sort of alternative to Twitter, which has gotten a bit too annoying for me to tolerate. So I’d welcome you if you might want to join me here

Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in The UPSTATE AMERICAN weekly report, or the midweek message for paying subscribers — things like work-in-progress or quick questions. You might want to consider it as a Twitter alternative, too.
