Join me today on Notes
A moment off from writing about “Queen Charlotte” to talk about Sunday’s “Succession” and Tom and Shiv’s fight.
I just published a very long note on Substack Notes. It probably should have been a post! I’m actually working on a post on “Queen Charlotte” today, but ever since Sunday’s “Succession,” this has been on my mind, and it just sort of tumbled out on Facebook this morning. Then I thought “Why not share with subscribers?” So here it is. Please do join in!
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to BordoLines, 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 BordoLines 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!
I can't wait to read what you have to say about "Queen Charlotte." I offered to watch it with my wife on Saturday.
