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

For people who believe in clear words and progressive action.

If you were looking for Garbl’s Writing Center, you’re in the right place. Plainly, Garbl continues that work—clear, concise, consistent writing—now focused on turning clarity into action.

Plainly, Garbl is a resource for people who want to understand what’s happening and know what to do next.

It’s for readers who value clear language, democratic values, and practical ways to act without shouting, posturing, or drowning in noise.

Too much dodging. Not enough courage. Too many words that obscure instead of explain.

Plainly, Garbl exists to cut through noise and distraction—using plain language, credible information, and resources to help people understand what’s happening and decide what to do next. I update existing resources as needed and add new ones when they can be useful.

Here you’ll find:

• Practical tools for political and civic action

• Media literacy resources to stay informed and counter lies

• Guidance on writing clearly, consistently, and persuasively when it matters

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 Site Directory, organized by function 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 also publish occasional commentaries when I have something timely or important to say. I do not follow a fixed publishing schedule. The goal is not to fill a calendar. The goal is to offer work that is clear, useful, and worth your time.

So explore what’s here. Use what you like. Bookmark Plainly, Garbl and its resources for future reference. If something resonates with you, sharing it with a friend or colleague is a simple way to keep clear information moving.

And if this kind of clarity and grounded engagement matters to you, subscribing makes it easier to stay connected. It’s free and clutter-free.

Unless otherwise noted, editorial illustrations on Plainly, Garbl are created using AI from concepts developed and art-directed by the author. I use original photography whenever possible.

Plainly,
Gary B. Larson (Garbl)
