Every blue moon I go on Substack just to see what's going on. Now the starting point is their "Notes" section. But I just clicked one and it opened a blog post-length essay. Truly cursed. You're a blogging platform! And you're letting people "microblog" a full essay for some unwitting reader to consume as this badly-set wall of text?
Our #WritingExchange community has been running for almost eight years! But as our little writing space has grown, so have our hosting costs. Many members of the community have contributed to help keep this space sustainable -- if you have, thank you so much! But after catching up on our accounting today, we're essentially back at $0 in our Writing Exchange fund, with only 45% of our annual hosting costs covered by current donors.
