I have been thinking for a while about creating a dedicated space for all my ramblings about animals. That now exists at: expandingcircle.substack.com
It’s mostly an excuse to see what writing on Substack is like. I’ve been hesitant to write there because of the bland design they force on all publications coupled with their innumerable pop ups begging the reader to subscribe. But a place where a bunch of obsessive readers and writers hang out can’t be all bad.
Can I build a little following for this niche project? It will be a fun challenge.
Maybe it will help me be an even stronger voice for my four legged friends such as these potbellied pigs.

People need to know that they would rather line up for belly scratches and then flop over and luxuriate while receiving belly scratches than be turned into bacon.
