I keep seeing fantastic writers with substacks and it's terribly tempting to check out the platform, but this incident from three years ago is why I never do.
NEW: Substack founders finally respond to Substackers Against Nazis. They say Nazis publishing and earning money on their platform is fine with them.

Their full statement here: substack.com/@hamish/note...

I would give all friends who don’t have it my discord and fade away like Obi Wan Kenobi before he’s hit with a lightsaber
Hey artist/creator/writer/etc people: if tomorrow you were guaranteed a very comfortable living the rest of your life, how would that affect your relationship to social media?

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

I painted a cover for Garth Ennis and @jacen-art.bsky.social’s BABS, brought to you by the lovely people at @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social!

It was a JOY! The issue is on the stands on May 20th.

The reason our anniversary is Valentine’s Day is hilariously on brand. We were at university together and went out for the regular Thursday night bowling group…only nobody else turned up. We waited for half an hour, nobody even answered their phones. We were baffled.

Good lord. Today marks Ro and my 14th anniversary. I want to thank everyone we’ve met along the way for being just the best, but also dedicate this anniversary to Olly, who gave us 6 months at best

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.
