There is a Fediverse alternative to Substack called Ghost. It allows you to host blogs and newsletters in a very similar way to Substack, but it has much less problematic management and you can host your own Ghost-powered site if you want to.

Lots more info about Ghost in the guide at:

Would also highly recommend the article by @molly0xfff which outlines the advantages of Ghost over Substack:

Republicans finally agreed to fund all of DHS (including TSA) with the exception of ICE…

…until Trump had a tantrum on social media, deployed ICE to our airports, and demanded that the GOP passes his voter suppression legislation first.

Trump and Republicans are responsible for all of the airport chaos. https://punchbowl.news/article/senate/trump-thune-dhs/

April 1, the Supreme Court will hear Trump v. Barbara, a case about whether President Trump can rip up birthright citizenship with an executive order. Let's be clear, he cannot.

I’m partnering with the ACLU to defend birthright citizenship. Join us. Defend the Constitution. Protect every child born here in America. Sign the petition: http://crnt.link/aclu-birthrightcitizenship-qasim #ACLUpartner

My father arrived in the U.S with $30 and a belief in a country that promised your worth would not be determined by where you were born, but by what you built and how you lived.

That promise is now under attack. On April 1, SCOTUS will hear a case challenging Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in the U.S. A move that would throw countless families into chaotic and harmful legal uncertainty.
Here's what's at stake and how we defend our constitutional rights.

Armed conflict is not a sports game.

You don’t need to pick a side.

You can also oppose one government without supporting the government that declares war on said government.

You can also, and I know this is a big stretch, oppose a third government in the conflict!

You can declare solidarity with all the people in the region who aren’t murdering thieving assholes.

You can call for mitigating a bad situation without that being a declaration of support for the whole mess.

Want to help people in Gaza suffering through a genocide perpetrated by Israel and supported by many of our own governments?

Here’s a list of everyone we’ve verified using video calls with links to their fundraisers, ranked by how much they managed to raise in the last week:

PS. They’re all on the fediverse (see https://gaza-verified.org/people/) so maybe also give some of them a follow? If you can’t help financially, a few words of kindness also go a long way (and who knows, you might just make a wonderful new friend. I know that I’ve made quite a few.)
