Welcome to Plainly, Garbl: A Resource for Clarity and Action

👋 For people who believe in clear words and progressive action.

🎉 Marking four months since launch, this post doubles as a kind of birthday message. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s joined the journey—and looking forward to what comes next.

If you were looking for Garbl’s Writing Center, you’ve found its next chapter. Plainly, Garbl continues the mission of clear, concise writing—with a focus on turning clarity into action. The Plain Language Guide and Writing Bookshelf from the original site are already here and updated.

Plainly, Garbl is a project about voice, clarity, and purpose.

It offers tools and reflections for people who care about truth, fairness, and democracy but aren’t always sure how to speak out or take progressive action.

With 75 friends and allies as early subscribers, I launched Plainly, Garbl on June 1, 2025, to cut through the noise. Too much dodging. Not enough courage. Too many words that obscure instead of explain.

I wanted to create a space for something different.

Since then, my ongoing posts—offering advocacy resources, commentary, and clear writing advice—have more than tripled that number. Whether you’ve been here from the start or joined along the way, thank you.

Here you’ll continue to find:
🛠 Tools for political action
🧭 Resources for resisting disinformation and injustice
✍️ Insights on writing clearly and persuasively when it matters most

Some content is urgent. Some is reflective. Some is personal. But all of it is built around my belief that useful information and clear, credible voices can shape what happens next.

The core of Plainly, Garbl is its growing Library of Advocacy Resources—organized by issue and purpose. It expands on resources I created for Informed Resistance, a grassroots social media project that continues to support local voices and collective action.

I don’t post on a schedule. I post when there’s something worth sharing—a tool, a commentary, or a call to action.

So explore what’s here. Use what you like. Bookmark Plainly, Garbl and its resources for future reference. Share what resonates. And if this work speaks to you, subscribe—free and clutter-free.

Plainly,
Gary B. Larson (Garbl)

P.S. If you know someone who might find these tools and reflections useful, feel free to forward this message or share Plainly, Garbl with them. Word of mouth is still the best kind of algorithm.
