Will resume publishing provisionally. What I think happened.
Make sure you connect with me on other platforms.
Subscriptions are free, but make sure you link up with me at least one of other place in case this newsletter gets suspended.
I am on this platform to repost Gay art by others.

Substack status. Is a culling coming up for newsletters?
I think I got suspended for my recent showcase of a Gay artist. I don’t think it was spam despite what they said. The showcase Gay art post got pulled from the Gay Agenda newsletter during my suspension.
I think they just throw out a message to the person who is suspended.
So the Gay Agenda is not going to post anything about Gay art.
Substack had an email recently announcing they are getting another round of financing. They also have recently announced a set of rules which will get you banned including various things you might say.
I think as they seek out advertisers, institutional financing, they may want to present a certain image of the people who write newsletters for their platform, as well as the newsletters, and many of the people who have been writing newsletters in the past might find that they are suspended. This is, of course, somewhat a speculation, since there isn’t transparency concerning the suspensions.
I have been hearing of other people getting zapped and then restored the next day to Substack. Of course, the people permanently zapped won’t be heard from on Substack.
Reddit has people’s complaints about finding themselves suspended, and they have a common theme, they don’t know why they are targeted.
My plans
I am still assessing the situation, but will continue to publish on Sustack provisionally.
However, I don’t have any real idea of why I was suspended, but the suspension took place right after the art post.
I am going to continue to post, but each and every post will be saved immediately at the Internet Archive. I will be downloading the contents into an html file also.
I will have the buttons to subscribe to the newsletter, but they will be followed by a link to me elsewhere as back up.
I downloaded all the info, posts, subscribers, for all four of my newsletters yesterday. It isn’t hard to do, but I had to spend time learning how to do it, and do it.
Your content isn’t all that mobile. Yes, you have a file, but you can’t just cut and paste it into a new online place.
I am backing up all my posts at the Internet Archive.
