I don’t subscribe because I want special treatment, I subscribe because what you write is worth my time to read, and I think you ought to get paid for that. Thanks, Sasha!
Same. I subscribe to support Sasha. If others can’t afford it or don’t want to make the commitment, fine. I freeload off a few others I don’t support as much. Give some, get some.
I GLADY pay for your content Sasha!! Actually you are the only contributor I do pay for. It’s pittance for the quality you provide. Screw those people who don’t appreciate honesty and integrity. Just AUTO RENEW me for as long as you’re creating!!
Just to be accurate, communists also want people to be paid for their labor, but they also want workers to have an ownership stake without having to invest capital. 😉
And when I use the word “voice” I mean it two-fold. A critical, cultural, social and political point of view “voice” AND an actual pitch perfect podcast voice that is a pleasure to listen to. A great twofer.
I subscribe because I really like what you are doing and your backstory of what you have had to overcome and the strength that it required. I simply want to support you and will continue to do so. Your content, whether behind a paywall or not is great.
I pay because I like your writing. I subscribe to over 100 but pay for only a couple dozen. The other ones have something behind a paywall that I decide to pay for. Your writing just resonates with me. No one else gets the free pass to paid subscription. Thank you.
I subscribe! I am a working Mom, with a side hustle to my side hustle, so subscribing is my way of supporting your work. You are like my West Coast mirror image; we are of similar age, had similar childhood, 20's and formative years. But, I am East Coast, Northern NJ.... I too, was steeped, like a tea bag, in left-wing propaganda in college, AND had the misfortune of choosing a " Women's Studies" minor. Radicals like Andrea Dworkin shaped my world view. Then, the miracle of motherhood happened. I had a Corporate job, paying real taxes, and then Obama. So, every word you speak, every impression you communicate, resonates. Your evolution & mine are very much the same.... I want to thank you, encourage you to press on, and know that as a fellow Mother " of a certain age" I appreciate your work. P.S....LOVE hearing about your relationship with your child, and LOVE the music selections at the end! Thank you Sasha.
I forgot to mention the music. That’s the PERK, as if one is needed. I’d say I have downloaded most of the songs to a playlist. I love them too because all the music are live performances. Something you don’t get to hear all the time. Thanks for reminding me!
Do what you need to do. I want to support you. And, yes, sometimes all these subscriptions become overpowering, and I have to get rid of somebody but it won’t be you.
Yeah about Substack. I love the content and long form content but the tech leaves something to be desired. Just this morning it wouldn't let me post over at Yuri's place where I am also a paid subscriber. It wanted me to sign in but the email to do that never came. I checked the spam folder, tried a different browser, turned off my VPN, restarted the laptop but nothing worked. Then I discovered I could post from Android.
Yup. There is a lot that sucks. I hate when the apps don't have all the features of the webpage and you have to go in the website for certain functions. Terrible design IMO
Did anyone who subscribed actually not understand that you do not charge for your content and that they were only paying because your content is well worth supporting you so you will continue to publish for us? In fact I have also become disillusioned with Carlson myself. But you’re still doing us a service by posting his content, IMHO. We who have not succumbed to the woke hive-mind should make a point of staying informed as to what the progressives are thinking just so we don’t become isolated in our own viewpoint bubble the way they are. And no, I don’t think Carlson is really part of the progressive world. But he, like a few others who used to be well regarded by most of us, has given succor to proponents of antisemitism and other ideas that have begun to poison our own patriotic movement (along with the progressive movement as well). One might ask the folks who are unsubscribing from you so they can hide their eyes and minds from viewpoints that offend them, exactly how they think we are supposed be able to refute bad ideas if we completely silo ourselves away from any exposure to them and hide in our comfy little political cocoons?
Thank you, Sasha, for all of your posts and for making your content available to everyone for free for as long as you have. You are one of the heroes who is keeping the powerful left from subjugating the rest of us. God bless you for your courage.

Same. I subscribe to support Sasha. If others can’t afford it or don’t want to make the commitment, fine. I freeload off a few others I don’t support as much. Give some, get some.
Thanks! I came on here to say just that.
Exactly what I was going to say! 💜
So right. Me too, I also think people should be paid for their work.
Same here. I hate to think your voice will be kept from anyone....
This!
Sasha, I'm on a fixed income, and have to be careful of my expenditures. BUT I subscribe to your content because you're worth supporting.
This is me exactly.
I chose to pay because I’m not a Commie and I believe people should get paid for their labors whether physical or mental.
I GLADY pay for your content Sasha!! Actually you are the only contributor I do pay for. It’s pittance for the quality you provide. Screw those people who don’t appreciate honesty and integrity. Just AUTO RENEW me for as long as you’re creating!!

In that state, where does the capital come from to make the investments?
Theft at gun point, of course. 150 years later, our young people are still being taught this could work only if done properly... 😬
It works very, very well for the party bosses and their families.
Yeah workers were in heaven under Stalin and Mao.
Well worth the price of admission. You have a voice. Happy to support it with my $.
And when I use the word “voice” I mean it two-fold. A critical, cultural, social and political point of view “voice” AND an actual pitch perfect podcast voice that is a pleasure to listen to. A great twofer.
EXACTLY!! She could be reading Doctor Seuss books and I’d listen, and PAY!!
I subscribe because I really like what you are doing and your backstory of what you have had to overcome and the strength that it required. I simply want to support you and will continue to do so. Your content, whether behind a paywall or not is great.
I'm happy with your content either way, Sasha. I'm with you to the end!
ME TOO!!!
You are a great contributer to political commentary.
Stay the course.
This person reminded me of Frances Fisher in Titanic- will the seating in the lifeboats be arranged by class?
We appreciate your work Sasha.
You are the perk.
This! ☝️
Perfect response! Sasha IS the perk!

oh my gosh, Debby! Me too! ASA Sasha adds the song at the end, I download it! They are great songs!
💯♥️
I do not need to know how to unsubscribe or get a refund Sasha. I just need you to let me know when I need to resubsribe.
Me too😃
Do what you need to do. I want to support you. And, yes, sometimes all these subscriptions become overpowering, and I have to get rid of somebody but it won’t be you.
My tip of the day for you Sasha: Live each day to the fullest, Love every day as if it is your last, and always, always follow your dreams.
They really should do it themselves, IMO.
That being said, I find Substack is not user friendly in many ways, such as unsubscribing can sometimes not be so easily to get too.
You should have a template email set up with instructions on how to unsubscribe, then send it to these users.
That way, every time you get these emails just load up the template email and send.

Just get back on Twitter if you know what I mean. Hollywood I’m kinda done with.

I thought she stopped posting Tucker’s drivel. Curious if she’ll turn off Megyn too.
