I am disappointed that Substack is <em>not just helping</em> extreme right-wing ideologies proliferate on this platform, bad enough&#8230; but they are <em>also <strong>partnering with them</strong></em> (for right-wing publication&#8217;s financial advantage), and also <strong>promoting them officially</strong> here under their own business/platform entity. </p><p>So if I ran a paid newsletter I would be <strong>supporting that ideology with money</strong>. I would be funding that partnership. That is not okay. You can <a href="https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/substack-announcement-bari-weiss-free-press">read more about the details here</a>.</p><p><strong>This is not okay </strong><em><strong>especially as an autistic person</strong></em><strong>, being part of the marginalized communities hurt most by right-wing extremism.</strong> <strong>We are one of their targets. </strong></p><p><strong>What Substack is supporting with their money, coming from paid publications, is harming my own demographic.</strong></p><p><strong>It is also not okay as those same publications Substack themselves PROMOTE and PARTNER WITH believe in attacking my sovereign nation of Canada.</strong></p><p>So this autistic Canadian, two things harmed by facists like those running Substack, <a href="https://improvupdate.com">moved my content onto my own site, a platform I control that is hosted in Canada</a>, moved the podcast to a non-American host, and I encourage anyone else who is affected by this to do the same.</p><p>And I want people to know why I made this change, which is why this page is still here. Because not enough people, in my opinion, are rejecting funding fascism as evidenced by so many &#8220;progressive&#8221; people giving the fascists money and support by supporting this site and its owners. So this gives me a tiny bit of a voice in this significantly huge matter.</p><p>Yeah, I know I&#8217;m not cool right now saying this. But I believe I have to speak up. For those of us affected so much by this hatred in the world right now.</p><p>I hope you will consider not giving Substack any money as a result, and if you have a newsletter, consider moving it. If you need help, I will help you for free.</p><h2>More resources and improv stuff to check out!</h2><p>There are more improv things you can check out, also elsewhere and hosted in Canada:</p><ul><li><p>Get <strong>the <a href="http://StereoForest.com/subscribe">StereoForest newsletter</a></strong> if you&#8217;re interested in improv and comedy delivered in podcast/video formats.
