Beautiful work, Makenna. Couldn't have put it better myself. My Substack is my creative outlet; somewhere my work can live after I have made it. Money, although it would be nice, is not a motivating factor. I just write what I want, when I want.
I could double down on the Aphantasia stuff as those posts seem to do well and capture people's imaginations, but I don't feel compelled to write about it again just yet. My music posts do about half of my political/culture war posts but my music is the main reason I am here so I will continue to put it out regardless.

I just make what I want, algorithm be damned.
Thank you for this...
I’m glad it resonated. I think we all need a little reminder why we do this sometimes.
Indeed, one of the most wholesome articles I've read lately on Substack :D
I’m glad you liked it! I’ve been seeing a lot of algorithm angst going around lately so I figured it was time.
