I should be working on Field Notes... but I'm procrastinating. What about you?

A couple of months ago @Maliha M told us that the old twitter (now tweet) was back. Out of curiosity, I signed up. I had started my animal blog, The Animal Chick (https://theanimalchick.com/) shortly before that. It seemed like a great idea to start posting animal fun facts, pictures, etc. along with just getting to know people on there. My sugar gliders have been a hit and people are obsessed with them. I'm biased but they are the cutest sugar gliders in the world. (See picture) Yesterday I was content planning and decided I would start on sugar Gliders in January and do a series on them. I had mentioned I was a blogger, but I have never directly given the names or what they were about until I was directly asked in this thread listed below. I posted this yesterday. "Beetle" mentioned he signed up and I didn't think much of it. I happened to check and I got 5 subs! I figured with the lack of engagement that it was just him. I plan on posting the articles and see what happens.

Apparently, some of the OG Twitter guys decided to bring OG Twitter back! And it costs $20. https://twitter.now I was never into Twitter but I like a revenge plot just as much as anyone, so I just paid $20 to get in ;)

I have nobody to share this news with, so whatever... imma share it here. My short story is apparently being typeset in Prairie Schooner's upcoming Winter 2026 issue right now :) The long silence has finally broken. Whewww. I was starting to wonder if this story would ever see the light of day. That's all 😊

I know @Dan Foster makes the big bucks there. I know @Linda Locke is on there, has her own publication, and is pretty active. I also know that @Rachael M and @Denisse Vega and @Jeff Tarbox are on there, too... So, I'm wondering, is anyone else here writing on Medium? If yes, feel free to share your profile, and I'd love to give you a follow! (This is mine.) Also, what's your experience with the platform so far? Is it worth putting in the work? I just started publishing there (after a long break), and hoping to ramp it up to 3 stories per week. I'm also not paywalling, because I mostly want to reach as many people as possible and get new subscribers. Mostly because, as I was telling Matt Giaro a few days ago... historically, people who joined my list from Medium have been buyers. So... your thoughts?
