Ep. 451: Writing and Friendship in Post-Twitter Age, Pt. 1 (ft. Yasmin Nair)

As much as we like to rag on Twitter, it's a fact that Plan A was largely built off of it. So with Twitter on a decline (even pre-Musk takeover), what's an alternative way to share our writings and meet like-minded people? Returning guest Yasmin Nair (writer, activist, academic,) joins Chris to discuss her piece, Twitter Is Not Your Writing Life, and get into a larger discussion about how and why we should write in these times.
