Join me on Notes
A new place for us to share ideas
If you’ve subscribed to Mosaic of Minds, you’re getting an email “newsletter” with updates about new blog posts. Did you know I also write shorter posts on Substack Notes?
Notes is a new space on Substack to share all sorts of small things that don’t fit in the “newsletter” you’ve subscribed to, like links, quick questions, short posts, quotes, photos, polls, recommended Substack writers to follow, etc. If you’re familiar with Twitter, it’s like that.
Join me on Notes if you:
Want to know what I’m reading, thinking about, or recommending
Want links to interesting articles about the brain, science, science communication, disabilities, writing, and more
Want to tell me what you think of all these things.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Mosaic of Minds, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Mosaic of Minds can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
