Hi y’all, I’m taking a quick break from work at Future Emergent and on this blog. I’ll be back by March. In my absence, I’ve queued up a few of my favorite blog posts in the newsletter I launched. A lot of people I admire moved away from substack a couple years ago because they host (and give money to!) people who are anti-trans. They’ve also doubled down on their support for actual Nazis. I like buttondown‘s interface and their free option fits my current needs and my budget.
