Hi! I’m Meg Conley. I write about the intersection of capitalism, culture and care work at Pocket Observatory. Select essays are republished to Substack. If you'd like to receive my official (FREE) newsletter, subscribe here + I'll take care of the rest!

Quirky deep dives into things and ideas around "home." Love her writing - very relatable.

Healing is My Special Interest

By D.L. Mayfield

The intersection of late-diagnosed neurodivergence and healing from high-control environments. Also, combatting Christian fascism!

Neurodiversity plus religious trauma / ex-evangelicalism. This has been one of the most important newsletters of my year!!

The Cottage

By Diana Butler Bass

Part retreat, part think tank. A place for inspiration and ideas about culture, faith, and spirit.

Letters from an American

By Heather Cox Richardson

A newsletter about the history behind today's politics.

A daily in-depth news briefing about our democracy in crisis. All of the links at the end of her articles. I feel smarter after reading every day.

Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-Smith

Dismantling diet culture and anti-fat bias, especially in health, fashion, and parenting. (But non-parents like it too!)

Deep dives into anti-diet culture and health at every size (HAES). I have learned SO MUCH from this newsletter and try and take what I learn to my therapy clients all the time.

Men Yell at Me

By lyz

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.

So incisive, so funny, so take-no-shit real. Writes on politics, living blue in a red state (yup me too), feminism, and so much taking down patriarchy. I also really want to read her books now, too (she was raised homeschool evangelical and now she's ... definitely not).

Culture Study

By Anne Helen Petersen

Think more about the culture that surrounds you

Anne Helen Peterson cultivates the best community of Substack readers, IMHO. I live in the subscriber-only threads and reader comments some days.
