Goodbye to All That 🍸

Leaving Substack for Greener Pastures/Patreon

Hi everyone,

Big news! The Spite Stack is moving from Substack to Patreon!

Thank you so so much for bearing with me these past few *quiet* months as I carefully made the jump to Patreon. I know you all value a platform that isn’t promoting nazi propaganda and anti-trans hate, and I took those critiques to heart. And in doing so, I realized I had way more to offer you in a place like Patreon, with more audio, video, and personalization on my end. I want this to be something you feel good contributing to and I think you’ll agree there’s no doubt that the value is worth it.

Your support has meant the world to me, has bailed me out many-a-time, through many-a-dying industry, and I’m over the moon to be able to bring you more creative work than ever.

All the rants, observations, videos, and sweet sweet playlists you already know and love from Substack will still be on Patreon. One of the biggest reasons I made the move is for Patreon’s expanded features—so I can give you even more benefits.

ALSO: Don’t worry, if you paid for a subscription here, it is no longer going to be charging you. Keep reading…

A common misconception is that everything on Patreon is behind a paywall. Well not here. 🥰 My monthly newsletter will remain free — it’ll just be posted on Patreon instead of Substack.

My first newsletter is already live on Patreon and it’s a special one! It’s about my journey moving back to New York, titled “Hello to All That” (a play on Joan Didion’s essay Goodbye to All That)....

Bonus ✨
