Subscribe! (gross)*

Here are some ways to know when there's more stuff...from Emily:1

💌For the email-lovers (whom I love):2
Hey. Guess what?

So, I've tried to play it cool and pretend I don't care, but I'd actually love to visit your inbox from time to time.

You're welcome to RSS or whatever floats your particular boat. But I share more of myself in my occasional emails. Things that don't trigger RSS. Things I don't put on any social place.

To me, email is magical and intimate. And it makes me happy to connect in a way that allows you to connect back. We can email each other like the early 90's. How delightful!


For the techies:3
RSS feed | Atom feed

For the social-feed-fueled:4

I'm primarily on Feedbackless Feed

I'm kinda on Mastodon

I'm almost barely on Instagram

I (tragically) somehow still have Facebook

*Okay, let me explain the "gross." I have a visceral negative reaction to the word "subscribe." Especially when it's coming out of my face into your face about my stuff.

Chalk it up to the combination of an innate aversion to anything that even approximates the feeling of self-promotion and over a decade of producing educational content on...YouTube (yes, I said educational and YouTube).

My issues aside, I would actually love it if both of you who have made it to this website5 would return and see what else I come up with. So actually, yes...please subscribe6, if you like.

  1. Feels really pretentious speaking about myself in the third person, but I was trying to be creative about the domain name...↩

  2. Not to pick favorites (as I proceed to clearly pick a favorite), but I really cherish email. In the noise and chaos of social platforms, apps, and massive newsletter services, sending a regular email from my regular inbox to your inbox feels more...personal. More human. I feel email is a kind of sacred, private space, and I honestly treasure the trust of sending me your address and allowing my weirdness into your inbox from time to time.↩

  3. But not for my friend Keenan.↩

  4. Practical FYI: excepting the Feedbackless Feed (FBF), I would not rely on any of these social platforms to find out when I make new things. Outside of the FBF, I post most regularly to Mastodon; I'm currently experimenting with a potential relationship with Instagram (we have a history, but so many artists inhabit that space that I'm open to making it work); Facebook still exists so that I can manage my nonprofit's page...though every now and again I post to my personal profile for reasons that elude me.
         Please do feel free to follow me on any of them (after all, if I get enough followers, I'll be gifted a "real artist/writer/human" badge!). If nothing else, you can observe my awkward effort at negotiating a detente with social media. But if you are wanting stay in my loop of creation, email (or regularly dropping in on the Feedbackless Feed) will be your best bet!↩

  5. Look. I'm aiming high with my two subscribers dream, okay?↩

  6. Still feels gross to say...I'll bring it to my therapist...↩
