I have really enjoyed Substack. About 7 years ago I was very involved in Animal Welfare issues in a number of countries. I believed I had always been ethical truthful and polite. At times on Facebook and Instagram I received the most dreadful abuse from people. My feed on both platforms became saturated with graphic and gratuitous animal cruelty and abuse. I found this had significant impact on my mental health and for a short time couldn’t work. I now do as much as I can to support a number of charities financially and submitting submissions to governments etc. therefore I have enjoyed Substack with its many very informative, engaging and joyful content. Thank you. Belinda.
App failure

I have finally been able to access Substack by loading it on my iPad. I have loaded it on my iPhone and am unable to get it to open. I have stripped it out and reloaded it about 6 times on my iPhone but when I use the link it will not open and the circle just goes around … I really want it on my iPhone as well! Too hard to locate anywhere to report the issue. All of my favourite writers are here and I need this glitch fixed.

Edgy the edge
Bar none - This is groundbreaking journalism from inside the corrupt medical industrial complex - Big pharma are also on trial here. This AMD contributor is a person that every medical professional who has a conscience should aspire to be. Sadly we know the opposite is true. Well done AMD for all your work you will have saved countless lives and millions of hours of fear and terror by those wishing to terrorise us into their gamed evil system.

I used to hear Sean on Radio live and disagreed with most of what he said and detested some of it. I sent a txt one day to voice my disapproval of something he said and the next thing I’m being accused of being a racist on air. (It was nothing to do with race) I like the stuff from you that I’ve read so far and to hear you have the same disregard for Sean Plunkett! That prompted me to immediately pay the subscription.
