I really have not seen a lot of black writers in my feed and it annoys me !!!!!! I get so much “girl posting” and I’m like I came here to read not twitter! I am also a lesbian and while I am a white cis woman and a lot of the typical Substack is usually marketed towards me I cannot stand so much writing about men. I barely have any men in my life and I certainly do not deal with the relational politics I read about although those are interesting sometimes but get monotonous quick. and I never see anything by LGBTQ writers in my feed.
It can be kind of hard to dig through the homogeneity of Substack in order to find your tribe, but I promise some of everyone is here. I've found I've had to actively seek out the voices (Black creators specifically) that I want to hear.
Your mention is such a high compliment. Thank you. Your work inspires me to do more here.
The feeling is mutual!
Candy corn is THEE ELITE Halloween candy. Those who hate it should just give it to US (packaged, ofc). lol
Great writing, I love coming to read!
