The Quiet Part Out Loud is now on Chat (web & mobile)
Hey everyone,
A quick note to say that The Quiet Part Out Loud now has Chat, and it’s open on both web and mobile.
Think of it like a group text, but with fewer emojis and more meaning. I’ll use it to share behind-the-scenes notes, post stray thoughts, and start conversations that don’t quite fit in an essay or story. Sometimes serious, sometimes absurd, sometimes just a place to vent without algorithms listening in.
You don’t need to be loud to speak up here. Bring your questions, reactions, or that thing you’ve been thinking but haven’t said out loud yet. I’ll be there. Hope you will too.
Thanks for reading and for being the kind of person who still makes space for meaning.

Did you know that the Substack app works like a podcast player? You can listen to an article while doing the dishes, folding laundry, or building that deck you swore you’d start last summer. Just hit the little play icon on the top right.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web or click the Chat tab on my publication.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
