From here on out, this (free!) newsletter is now on Buttondown. I’ll leave this up for the time being for anyone who comes looking here for my newsletter.
People who were subscribers here should have automatically received a newsletter from the new platform in Friday 19 January 2024. If you didn’t receive a newsletter, please resubscribe over at Buttondown.
While I appreciate Substack’s ease of use, and its superior ability to amplify and grow visibility and stats, I can’t in good conscience continue to base my newsletter on a platform that promotes, monetizes, and amplifies transphobic and Nazi speech, so I’m out.
By the way, I do still subscribe to a few newsletters here on Substack. I understand that some people would take a serious monetary hit if they left Substack, or perhaps don’t have the time/energy to make a move, or some other reason that it doesn’t work for them to move at the moment. I get it. We live in a complicated and imperfect world. My goal is to support people as well as I possibly can.
I hope to be able to continue to send you updates from Buttondown, although if you prefer not, you can of course unsubscribe (I’ll be sorry to see you go!).
Note: Buttondown does not yet have a comments feature, but I hope that may be rolled out in the coming year. Otherwise, as always, you can email me at ke at imakeupworlds.com
Sorry, no Finn photo this time: he’s over at the other place now.
As always, thank you for reading.
