The Substack staff really are only interested in metrics, particularly high numbers of paid subscribers. Yet a huge number of Indy writers continue to write and connect on here. Well done for persevering and finding - and sharing! - some gems!!
Yeah, they are more interested in promoting and catering for the big people, which makes sense monetarily, I guess. They could at least make a more balanced search. Now, no matter what term you search you will get fake news about covid and things like that. Because that’s their main paying public.
This was a particularly great round-up! Love the idea of a joy list, and Gabby's essay on being blonde was incredible!
Thanks! 🤩

Thanks for the shoutout! More dispatches from library school (and comics) coming soon. 🖋️

Many thanks for the shout out Luiza!
Thanks for the text! I really hate hustle culture and this idea that you only need willpower for getting what you want. Meritocracy is a lie
