Welcome "here", as well! It's a funstay worth a mainstay :).Viewing Medium / Substack / Wordpress as complimentary. Will elaborate on "how" in due time. Deadlines kill us! Lifelines keep us alive!

Thank you Anders! I figure that the way people get kicked off of platforms, I might as well get something established here. I'm a bigger fan of lifelines than deadlines. Thanks for the comment!

Yes. Substack comes with another dynamic than other platforms. To paraphrase M. McLuhan, "the platform is the message"! Elaborate later. On that. In due time ;).

Walter, I am really glad to see your here. You are one of a dozen writers that I subscribe to email on Medium. Medium is good, but it stifles conversation. Substack allows readers the space necessary to really engage with the subjects that writers put forth. For example, I just left a 3 day long conversation with 9 other readers on Robert Reich's Substack page. Reich chimed in as well.

Your work often inspires me to long comments. I try to limit myself, but some subjects need a whole lot more space.

For the next few months, I've dedicated myself to writing as much about eugenics as possible, everywhere I can. Eugenics dovetails with your work on racism, so I will probably return here often. If I am off base, let me know. :)

That would be awesome, and thank you for your nice comment. My plan is to start just by dabbling a little with Substack and to see how it goes. So yes, please come back! In a couple months I'll have a much better idea how I can best use this platform. Thanks for writing!
