I am planning to go to Japan for a week this June as well and can't wait to see your newsletters about Japan trip! Thank you for some good recommendations of the substack you like and helped me explore more interesting things on here
Mainly I'm reading these days M. E. Rothwell, Man Behind the Screen and Josh Tatter, though I'm also expanding the newsletters I read. I typically like to read history and fiction hereon Substack.
As to travelling through Japan, I do hope to do the same in March (towards the end of March) interestingly enough, so hope you have a great time (I'll be arriving long after I imagine you've already gone back home).
thanks for sharing this, Macy, and bon voyage! I hope you have a fantastic time in Japan. My new favorite newsletter is these lovely doses of positivity from https://encouragementmanifesto.substack.com/
Great article Macy. I think these are great ways to introduce us to other writers we might not encounter on our own. Greatly appreciate you including me in your list.
I think I have probably subscribed to too many people as I don't have time to keep up with them all! However, a couple that are real favorites are:
And welcome to Japan (when you arrive), Macy! If you want any tips, let me know. I'm the world's worst traveller and tourist, but I live here and know a little about the country. Enjoy!
You gotta get on Gibberish and The Peasant Times-Dispatch by Scoot. Fiction and nonfiction. His fiction ranges from philosophical/ introspection to tech-noir/ sci-fi and it's always fantastic. And his nonfiction is always chock full of wisdom.
These are awesome suggestions! I follow Gibberish and have been keeping up Duel. I’m definitely interested in checking out Over The Field. I actually took a class back in college on the relationship between society and agriculture. We’d covered briefly the adverse effects of revoking traditional agriculture practices (family farms, small communities, natural techniques, etc) in favor of agribusiness models which emphasizes quantity at the costs of community and the environment. I’m excited to see what Hadden has to say on this topic. Thanks for the rec!
honored by the mention – thank you so much, macy ❤️
For sure!!
Thank you for these recs!!! Checked them out and I am in love!!!
Glad they’re helpful ♥️

History and fiction are my top subjects to read as well🔥🔥.
I'll still be in Japan in March! Let me know if you're in the Kyoto-Osaka region when you go. :)
I'd end up having to settle into Nagano I believe, but Kyoto is awesome, love the Kansai region!
Ah thanks so much for including Cosmographia!
For sure! It's been a treat reading your Moleskin Notebooks series. :)

I think I have probably subscribed to too many people as I don't have time to keep up with them all! However, a couple that are real favorites are:
Kate Jones - https://anarrativeoftheirown.substack.com/ and she writes about women in the arts.
Sam Kahn - https://castaliajournal.substack.com/ just a superb writer on a wide range of topics
Kent Peterson - https://kentpeterson.substack.com/ who I think is one of the coolest guys on the internet.
Thanks for sharing these, Matthew! I just saw Kent’s card and stamp post. His designs are too cute. 🥹
I always enjoy Lissen! by Ani https://dotdot.substack.com/
Also I enjoy: https://theeditingspectrum.substack.com/?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Fediting%2520spect&utm_medium=reader2&utm_campaign=reader2
And welcome to Japan (when you arrive), Macy! If you want any tips, let me know. I'm the world's worst traveller and tourist, but I live here and know a little about the country. Enjoy!
Oooo! The Editing sounds amazing. Can’t believe I didn’t stumble across it sooner 😆.
And thanks, Jeffrey! That’s so cool you live there. I’ll be hitting up Tokyo first for a lil over a month. Super excited.

This is a heck of a story:

Also, check out Hadden Turner. He writes about modern agriculture/ modernity and surrounding issues plaguing out time.
A recent favorite:

And of course always be on the lookout for writing from Ruth Gaskovski and her husband Peco
