Is the rapture scheduled for this week? In spirit you must go to your local video store and rent “Night of the Comet” an 80s zombie movie set in LA where everyone melts or becomes a zombie except 3 teenagers

i tried to sign up for Threads and immediately was blocked both on a longstanding instagram account and on a new account i created just to make a log in. i dont really want to be using Threads but I could use another social account that grows my business and unfortunately Bsky is not gonna be it

"If AI crypto bros can make money on their newsletters, you definitely can!" Lex Roman wants journalists to leverage newsletters into a living. Hear more on the Freelance Journalism Podcast: apple.co/3Cv2Ycb

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Catch up on all the cool stuff @theflytrapmedia.com and its worker-owners did this week!

I’m at a community meeting about resisting ICE in Chicago. There are about 400 people in this high school auditorium. Chicago is showing up.

“Substack's monetization strategy is at least partially at odds with creators” Creator Jay Clouse tried running a newsletter on Substack and ended up backing off. He explains why in his newsletter today (I can’t find a link to share with you anywhere but here’s screenshots)

What’s your tip jar for? 5 ways to use a tip jar that are better than a buried “buy me a coffee” link in your footer www.revenuerulebreaker.com/whats-your-t...

weirdos on the internet: “I couldn’t possibly afford so many newsletters!!” meanwhile sending a free note with a “nice one, jd” is worth like $1000 dollars and, as Lex makes clear here, is free and did I remind you that supporting writers can also be free as in it costs no money and it is in fact 🆓

Obviously I love when someone becomes a paid backer of my project but there’s something very sweet about any reader taking the time to write me a note that they’re paying attention and getting something out of what I’m producing

What you can expect from this blog, newsletter and network in 2025-2026: meet the new Revenue Rulebreaker www.revenuerulebreaker.com/meet-the-new...

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

The first ever guest contributor to Revenue Rulebreaker! If you're thinking "I need a membership," read @maliha.site's story first www.revenuerulebreaker.com/one-years-wo...

In a single attack Israel murdered nearly three times as many journalists as were killed in the Charlie Hebdo massacre. This is a state terror attack. They have now killed nearly 250 journalists in two years. More than Putin has killed in 20 years. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

If anything the right has become MORE aggressive about harassing anyone who comments in even the most mild terms about a certain recently-diseased individual after finding out the alleged killer was one of their own.

Tomorrow’s newsletter is good. You should be on there if you like making money on the internet. join.revenuerulebreaker.com

LMAO WUT

Walter’s been trying to get me to hike Pacaya, an active volcano here and I keep being like Walter I’m afraid of volcanoes and he’s like Lex, grandmothers are doing it but I just watched a couple youtube videos and people’s shoes are melting off!!!

85 people are coming to this week's All Star Mixer! I'm super excited for it because I match everyone up with cool people I think they should know and a lot of great collaborations come out of it. We do these twice a year in my Legends network and you can be part of it! luma.com/jy0ig6aq

Someone just contributed to my projects! If you value my work and want to keep it going, you can pitch in too and get on my good side :)

I’m psyched to have my first ever guest contributor on @revenuerulebreaker.com. Tomorrow, @maliha.site is sharing why she launched a membership and what happened in the first year. It’s gonna save you a lot of money and time. Get on the newsletter: join.revenuerulebreaker.com

Need cheese? We got it

It would be fucking amazing if folks gave their cancelled Disney+, WaPo, etc money to worker owned media! Those couple of dollars would make a genuinely huge difference to us. www.coyotemedia.org

humbly, we ask your aid—to support independent and uncompromised leftist publishing and journalism, and art and poetry too.

We don't need The Washington Post. The future is independent media that isn't influenced by the whims, interests and cowardice of the billionaire class. Support independent media like @mississippifreepress.org. You can donate to support us at mfp.ms/donate. Unlike WP, we're paywall-free, btw!

Take away their podcasts! We’ve heard enough!!!

I’m taking this class because I want to get into freelance writing I’m not sure exactly what or how and I always learn a ton from Katherine and the IIJ

All that to say, if you haven't, you should subscribe to our newsletter. That's one of the things we can guarantee you will receive. No pressure.

This “known accomplices” idea is an underrated perk. Public recognition for founding/top tier contributors on your site or in your content

In case you're just joining us: Pop Heist is a (new) worker-owned pop culture news, commentary, and criticism website. We're funded by our readers—and you can help support our writers for as little as $7/mo. If you haven't checked us out yet, come over and say hi! buff.ly/9UfPao3

The US hit ANOTHER boat in the Caribbean today. Trump shared video of it, again accusing the crew of being drug traffickers. With 3 allegedly killed, this brings the total killed in all 3 attacks to 17 this month, per White House figures. New @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...

My landlord texted me to ask if he could stash some flowers in my unit that he’s buying for someone this afternoon bc he doesn’t want his mom asking questions and what am i gonna stand in the way of romance!?

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

I did some research into alternatives for Stripe for this post. I think the one I'd go to is Adyen and/or Mollie if you're in the UK/EU.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

We're collecting reports of protester injuries at Broadview last night. If you were hurt and would like to share, please shoot us a quick description of how. Anonymity protected. Signal: unraveled.66

You may not think im funny but i think im funny. i couldnt come up with a better category for acknowledging that a tool is valid without recommending it because i would throw the entire codebase of wordpress into the ocean if it was given to me. BUT ALSO I RESPECT YOUR CHOICES

No one can really answer this for you and I’m honestly sick of talking about it but we’re down to the last two issues of Journalists Pay Themselves so tomorrow you’re getting “What platform should I use?” and I’m gonna lay out what I know journalistspaythemselves.com/subscribe

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

Metro Atlanta is the most dangerous place in the United States to be an immigrant journalist right now by a whole country mile

yes please: give us the money you were going to give to mainstream media brunchlords

BREAKING: The Board of Immigration Appeals is trying to deport our client Mario Guevara, a journalist from El Salvador, despite his clear legal path to residency and an immigration judge's order to grant his release on bond.

I also want to add @boltsmag.org to every list. It is a nonprofit magazine that does AMAZING work covering electoral politics from a left progressive perspective.
