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!

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 :)

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.
