What is Substack chat for? I don't know. But we could find out.

Hey all. I’ve opened a chat thread for subscribers if y’all would like to strike up conversations. Do have at it.

Also, given the stampede over to Bluesky in the wake over the election, I’ve set up shop over there as well. There’s quite the push to brand me a heretic in certain corners of the app. I’m on a bunch of official blacklists being handed around, labeling me “far right” and a “transphobe” and such. (For the record, these claims are false! Also known as lies.) I do find it ironic how viciously people are policing the supposed niceness of that app.

So I’d appreciate y’all clicking here to follow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/benryanwriter.bsky.social.

Cheers,

Ben
