I am so grateful to be included here and so enraged for you at the labor required for you to capitalize on your writing even a tiny bit. Substack continually positioning themselves as a bastion of free speech and independent reporting while not allowing the same access to capital gains to all publishers is WILD and so tone-deaf to the values they perpetuate. Sending you so much love as you find what is right and works best for you.
I am so grateful to be on the receiving end of your writing, and I know I am better for it. Though we don't have the means to support financially, I will continue to uplift your beautiful and important paradigms and cheer you on from the other side of the world!! Appreciate you, my fierce friend. ❤️❤️
You are one amazing woman and I adore the way you move through this world while observing and making sense of it. Thank you for existing and being part of my journey and community my friend. Your attention is all the support I will ever need from you. 💜💜💜
I’m so honoured you included my testimonial. I’ve been thinking of you a lot these days. Your phantom fury piece comes up a lot for me, reminding me that even my rage that wants to burn down the world has a place where it can be held. Thank you so much for being present to your readers in such kind and wise ways. I’m looking at PayPal options now, and wishing you a sustainable path.
'my rage that wants to burn down the world has a place where it can be held' - how beautiful! Shaina, I deeply appreciate your presence and thoughts, I consider myself very lucky to have insightful and brilliant readers like you. Thank you friend for leaving the light on for me in my darkest.
Your generosity here is incredible, my friend. I am honored to be in your thoughts at all, much less among the time and care you took to include your beautiful “why” for each recommendation. So much love to you.
I am in constant awe with both your brilliance and clarity Nia. I am so fortunate to be in your company. There’s a big place in my heart made of appreciation and admiration for your work and your being to reside. 💜🤗
Swarna, you have a voice of thunderstorms and sunrise, of wind through the trees of your favorite places to walk, and running water, and goddesses. I am *honored* not just to know you but to be able to read your incredible writing in this world. 💚🧚🕯️
This is just too high a praise my friend. I am just that good old humble friend of yours who loves the Earth enough to make efforts in order to deserve the gifts that she so generously offers. And also it fills my heart to know that I am on the receiving end of the adoration you freely choose to spend. 💜🥹
Swarna, I'm honored that you chose to include my piece, especially in such wonderful company. I love the beauty of your writing, the perspective you bring, and your values that show up so clearly on the page.
I'm disappointed that Substack and Stripe remain so unsupportive of you and so many other voices that need to be heard.
John, the honor is mine. Thank you for being the lighthouse that you are! I am so grateful to be in your company and of rest of our friend’s too.
I really hope substack starts looking at this payment issue. I had to get a sole proprietorship incorporated in order to function smoothly and receive payments through paypal too but not every writer from India would be able to turnaround such massive roadblocks.
I am honored to be included in your recommendations, Swarnali.
And that is so frustrating that Stripe throws up so many obstacles to users in India. Ugh. I hope the PayPal strategy helps to bring well deserved subscription income back to you again.
