The US is now complicit in the deaths of Ukrainians as Trump ONCE AGAIN does not sanction Russia despite his so called “red line.”
He is the weakest so called leader America has had in its history.
BREAKING: Awesome new footage shows Barack and Michelle Obama rocking out with Bruce Springsteen. This is sure to upset Donald Trump.

I think this misunderstands the purpose of a liberal arts education, which is to teach people how to think and how to express their thoughts coherently enough that others can understand their arguments. (As a history professor of mine once put it, we don’t test you on names and dates because the names and dates are only incidentally impo…

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

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 am guessing that for you, a race is just for being in it, participation awards for all who are willing to enter though not put in the time or effort to win the races by outperforming and getting the prize, in writing, recognition, money, or publishing books that others read regardless of making money, true a career. But, support your family, your children, and call it your source of income that proves your success is valued by the society, that is usually what is called a successful career. N…
A serious suggestion, not meant as snark:
Have you asked any of those 6,000 people who unsubscribed *why* they unsubscribed?
Many and the reasons were having to sign up and give information to be on the list and the increased frequency of my writing as opposed to once a month. There were many who would not pay and felt it was a solicitation each time thus canceled as opposed to the MailChimp that reached around the world and had pathways that were tried and true... but did not pay.
