I am looking for a community for writers like Substack- but not owned by big CEOs with questionable allegiance. Any direction/suggestions appreciated!

Matapacos, the Chilean riot dog, stood with protesters, fearlessly facing riot police. His name means “Cop-Killer”, a bold symbol of defiance. From Chile to the 2020 BLM protests, his image remains a global icon of resistance. Stand your ground—bite back.

In all of your dealings from this day forward, proceed with deepest love & understanding but also with 0 compromise on your values. If they don't care enough about what matters to you and/or you have to conceal yourself, let it the fuck go.

Do not spend what may be our last years hiding, darlings.
