Hi everyone. I’ll make this quick because we’re all busy dodging Delta.
Like many moms, I tend to think in school years not calendar years. Because I’m a college professor I do this even more so. To begin this school year (which translates into New Year to my brain) I’ve rebranded Women of a Certain rage and am relaunching it, as well as a start-up publication, on Medium, tomorrow. Friday the 13th.
Pause for creepy music.
I realize this is a gamble. I’m far less likely to ever make any money on Medium but that was never my intention. My intention was to build a community where we can all navigate this crazy world together. I’ve used Medium since it’s Beta version and I find it helpful to have all of my publishing on one platform.
More importantly, however, is this newsletter (you have to scroll down a bit) from one of my faves, The Objective, about the questionable practices at Substack. This includes narrowing its approach to hate and harassment. Obviously Medium has its problems too – as does almost every American corporation – but I’m trying, at this point, to do the least damage to humans and the planet as I can. Sometimes that means choosing the lesser of evils.
So please, please join me and subscribe for free over on Medium. Also, if you’re interested in writing something for the Women Rage publication, please DM me on Twitter or email me and let me know. The more voices, the better.
See you on Medium!
