That feeling when you scroll until you find yourself at the bottom, then realize how long it would take for someone who is serious about giving everyone a chance to reach you and give you a chance.
Glad to be included in this one with my first substantial essay on this platform: “Why Are There Still Black People?”
These roundups are strange little treasure piles. Politics, memoir, criticism, fiction, weird argument machines (that’s me) — all of it. Looking forward to digging through the list!
Thanks for the inclusion on some more Andy Weir discourse as to whether you can avoid art in politics!
I do think extending the submission Google form to have a drop-down for something like Genre (Fiction, Politics, Culture) using something like Substack's own categories might make the list easier to parse. You could group items under headings, and make it easier for people to filter to what they're interested in or avoid losing their place in a 93-entry blogroll

This is not a complaint. It is more of a whine.
People browse up and down these lists anyways, I wouldn't worry. Your piece sounds good - very much up my alley. Saved it to read later.
Agreed. I was being 90% tongue in cheek and 10% neurotic.
That's smart. Best to keep your tongue and your neuroses in separate drawers.

I, too, am grateful.
