I'll soon be applying to the Moxie Retro1 grant program for my 30-day Moxiesplaining Journal series.

To answer questions about the impact of the series, I'll be citing metrics such as likes, recasts, etc., but those certainly aren't the only signals of quality.

No pressure of course, but if you're a fan of this series and you've casted anything about the impact of Moxiesplaining, please tag me or otherwise call it to my attention so I can link to it in my application. Thanks!

Exciting news! @danicaswanson is applying for a well-deserved Moxie Retro1 grant for her Moxiesplaining series. She's always been among the first Farcasters to take a deep dive into the latest goings on and explain them for those of us who need a little help. 😉  Please give her your support. I'll be posting relevant links in the comments below.

Moxiesplaining Journal Day 25: Music Journalism + Moxie?

Next up in my publishing queue is a musician interview I've worked on for years. 

I released the first version on Substack in 2018 to paid subscribers only.

I'm extremely excited to finally release it to the public on @paragraph.

I never wanted to paywall the interview. I did so only because at the time it was the best available option for recouping even a fraction of my out-of-pocket production costs. 

Music journalism has been gutted, leaving writers with few ethical funding options for interviews in niche genres (my specialty). 

So this interview may be my last.

BUT: fully formatted writings can now be read in-frame via mini-apps on FC, and can also be eligible to earn Moxie rewards via a "Moxie wrapper." (Or maybe other ways too?)

I'd like to see what's possible with Moxie. 

Maybe there's still hope.

(Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).

And here's her most recent Moxiesplaining post. I love that she's sharing the ups and downs of her writing career and her ponderings on what could be possible with Moxie.
