"The Howl" INTRODUCTIONS Chat Thread
Drop into the pack...
THE HOWL is a slow, micro, community reading of *Women Who Run with the Wolves. Because, as Bayo Akomolafe says, “The times are urgent; let us slow down.” There’s no falling behind. Drop in as you wish. That’s the beauty of reading & living in fragments. Hosted by Christina Rivera, author of My Oceans: Essays of Water, Whales & Women
Welcome to The Howl Introduction Chat Thread!
There’s already 30 comments and they are COOKING. 🔥
Join us? Drop in and share:
Where/why are you reading, and have you read WWRW before?
Maybe include a photo of your tattered book, a fav reading spot, your wolf tattoo, messy desk, or pet. Or not.
Or just lurk. Wolves are good at that. ;)
How to get started with the chat:
Web Access: You can visit substack.com/chat directly, but they do say…
The APP is Best for Chat. 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 the Marginalia thread for each weekly reading.)
Click the “Chat” icon (comment bubble, pictured below) at the bottom and then look for “The Howl”s chat thread.
The MARGINALIA Chat Thread for each Week’s Reading
In addition to the Introduction Chat Thread, there’s also the “Marginalia Chat Thread” for each week’s reading. If that’s confusing, here’s the distinction between the Chat Threads and the Comment Board:
The Comment Board is published every Thursday and sent out with the weekly post. It’s where people are invited to post weekly reflections on what they underlined and why.
The Chat Threads offer more casual drop-ins for any ongoing reflections, photos, or images of underlined quotes from the book, sit spots, or whatever. Chat is the only place that lets you upload images & so offers another creative dimension of community sharing.
Reminder: The Comment Board and Chat Threads are open to paid subscribers. THANK YOU to every subscriber supporting my time building this community! I feel so honored and energized. ❤️
See you on the reflection Comment Board, in the ongoing Chat, or next Thursday in your inbox. Happy reading & reflecting between now and then!
