So I'm typing up a multi part piece on my experience in the american criminal justice system. Where would I put that? It's sort of just me retconning my run in with addiction, the law, and jail into imbedded journalism lol.

I have part 1 done, and I can't quite find a community for it. It could fit into multiple areas like addiction, politics, recovery, criminal justice reform, etc but I'm not quite sure it would be appreciated to spam a community with a 4 part series focusing on my dumb ass decisions.

Thanks in advance.

None of the writing communities in the fediverse seem appropriate, but I did make this general community for just such occasions so feel free to drop it here!

Yea I been searching through them and can't justify posting in any of them. I guess most people are sorting by all anyway so I'll leave it here. Thanks! Also is there anyway you can delete this post cause I can't seem to find it anywhere to delete it. Thanks!

I suppose you could always be the change you want to see in the world and create a new community for your content. Your posts would make a great introduction, and then you can always cross post it elsewhere for better visibility

I am using jerboa and can't create a community, though I should probably suck it up and just do it, using web. Thank you. I posted it on here, cause I was itching to get it out of my head. Perhaps I'll make a community and post it there when I am able. I appreciate your support.

Why do you want to delete your post? Participating is contributing to the community, maybe someone else will wonder the same questions, he might find answers here :)
