We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.
World-class writing

They want me arrested.
They want me silenced.
I'm not going anywhere.
I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

If I had 2 million dollars to throw at you, Substack, I would throw 2 million dollars at you...
(...then I'd turn into a monster and start making unreasonable demands, like British spelling for everything - "LISTEN UP, COLOUR IS SPELLED WITH A "U", DON'T MAKE ME REGRET MY INVESTMENT NOW" - and deliveries of pastries and beer to my front doorstep every single day...)
...but I signed up for a tiny corner of this thing, and that makes me very happy. You've been a career-changer for me, and if this i…
How much have you made from substack that changed your life, your career? Given there are only 2 million paid subs, I do not see how many can be getting rich off this platform after the intermediaries take their chunks out.
I didn't become a writer to get rich.
I became one to find a way to make enough money to keep writing.
That's what Substack has given me. (And a lot more besides.)
That certainly is worth mentioning as it implied there was a source of income to support calling it a career in the financial definition rather than a chance to publish. I agree, it is nice to have a place where a few thousand followers can read or see our works but the platform has much to do for the many contributors who are not making the income needed to live for them and a family. Thus, if you are one of the examples of a success that leads others to commit, invest, and share... I wanted t…
Sigh... this comment is so condescending. A career is a career, there’s no gatekeeping needed. And if someone is supporting themselves on their income from publication, it’s still a career.
What is it you’d like from Substack? You sound really upset, throughout the comments here. Can you help me understand what you’re angry about?
I won't have to go far to understand the rest of your canceling materials used to dam the leaks of logic and word transformation if you have to call any criticism angry, an attack, trollish sounding instead of offering the proof that the corrections to the issues I raise are
worth addressing. They are.
Canceling materials? Sorry, still confused! I was just trying to understand what your grievances are -- you’ve left angry comments throughout this thread, and I’m trying to get to what it is you’d like to see. I’ve got no other motivations, though you seem to have subscribed some to me.
What is it that you’d like them to be doing to make things better for writers? I get that in today’s world people are often assholes online, so tone can be misread. I found yours to be condescending and the comme…
If you read the comments you will see that they do suggest and often agree with others asking for the same improvements, many comments that you may apparently missed based on your last comments. Angry after 3 million words published, cartoons, videos, and more without a bit of promotion or means of seeing how we are all doing statistically on building our dream on this platform that has burned through 86 million in venture capital to get this far and is now hitting on us still without making improvements over the last three years that were due when I started. This model is broken and they do not seem to be moving to fix it very fast.
