I had that reaction at first. Then I realized that creators need us now more than ever. I used to create things that people enjoyed and would like to get back to that too.

So unless I go utterly broke, I’ll be around.

But I did stop recording some of the MSNBC news shows I was following.

I don’t think they mean Substack, even if the views are down this week.

In fact, I predict pages like these will get much larger in the coming years.

But the MSM and cable news is dead to us. Full stop. The punditry. The half-assed, fear-based “reporting.” All of it.

Happy 15th Anniversary. Your writing and perspective are always a pleasure to read. I agree with many who have grown weary of having Trump's stupid, boring, cruel reality show force fed to us for the last decade. He and his creepy family and their enablers will continue to do the only thing they know how to do. They will never face any consequences for their crimes. Enough already. My plan is to completely disengage from, and ignore the Trump chaos. I will move on with more productive uses of my time and energy; working with mutual aid communities, protecting the vulnerable in our lives, doing what we can as individuals to protect our environment, and looking hopefully toward a better future.

I just sent you $80 Sorrosbux as my first constructive post-election act, mainly BC I am a 50 year old ex-theatre kid and there is probably some self-centric projection going on, but also because I think you are both deeply insightful and deftly able to craft a sweet one liner and throw it into a serious think piece is unique.

I had been reading so much pre-catastrophe I didn’t have time to comment on them all, but I appreciated every one.

If - as has been suggested MTG becomes head of DHS or Laura Loomer becomes press secretary, I am really going to need those salty/crunchy humour bites.
