Effed-up Friday: Substack, We Need to Talk

Substack has been filled with some serious nonsense this summer, and this week things went next level. So we’re gonna talk about it.

Hi friends,

Typically on Fridays, we invite a guest for “Fucked-up Friday,” where we discuss the increasingly fucked-up news of the week.

We were all set to do that tomorrow, with guest Cliff Schecter.

But this week, we’re taking a pause from our usual programming. Because what’s more fucked-up than the news this week is some of the shenanigans we’re seeing within our community here on Substack.

So, we’re gonna talk about it—just Dana and Lawrence and our Whatever community.

This might be a tough conversation. But it’s time.

Please join us at 10am ET this Friday, Aug 28. 🗓️

We love you all, mean it.
Dana & Lawrence
