Substack is implementing their writer lock-in right now.

Writers, leave while you can.

I shout "control your platform."

I shout "don't do business with companies that support Nazis--moral issues aside, the people willing to support the far right honestly believe it's not only okay but ethical to screw you over."

I shout about disintermediation.

People nod and tell me they hear me and pat me on the head and keep on doing business with Nazi-supporting companies.

So damn frustrating.

My only consolation? I've had my books in public for 33 years, and I'm still in business.

They won't be.
