   And for an extra spicy take:

   I've got better shit to waste bytes and breath on than scolding marginalized people for doing what they have to do in order to get their work in front of other people and make a living. That includes things like:

   Publishing on Substack
   Having Twitter accounts
   Using Amazon to publish books
   Having their podcasts on Spotify
   Patreon

   Whatever

   Do what you gotta do to survive. Rent doesn't give a shit about moral purity in your tech stack.

     I gotta say, much respect to our trans journalists who report on all the awful day in day out, oftentimes for way less than minimum wage. I don't agree with every one of their takes. But I also can't imagine having to do their job of staring into the abyss of people who hate you, getting death threats, and seeing the worst of humanity all to at least try and get the word out to everyone else what the fuck is going on in the dark side.
