Related: outside of the app, you can send a gift subscription by clicking on your icon in the top right corner, then from the drop down list click “Manage Subscription”, and from there you should see an option to gift a subscription for one month or one year. You just need an email for the recipient.
Unrelated: Today’s The Daily is about what drives political violence. It’s super uncomfortable, but definitely in the Elise/Cosmopolitics lane. The guest is Robert Pape from the University of Chicago. The situation seems untenable, but I would love to hear more on the Cosmopolitics PoV on political violence in America.
Elise- thank you for allowing me to comment as a non-paying subscriber. I have appreciated what you have written here, some of it really. I would not stop coming here because some of the conversation with Danielle was imo "insufficient". That said I have to say, though Substack is a real boon and there is a list of those who I subscribe to, feeling it mandatory, there is a another list of those to which I would become a paid subscriber. That would add to my annual bill making it a substantial expenditure. How many are going to do this? Information has to get out. People also need the time to tend to it.. to think... the truth (there is such a thing). Both sides of the issues and then worthy opinion. All this now is on us to curate. That is aiding divisions too.
Not that you should not be paid- you *should* be. But this way of individual journalists having their own "stacks" that need $ support has its problems.
FYI- I continue to subscribe to the NYTimes. WAPO is running out for us. The Guardian is begging. The WSJ we have still. The Atlantic came up the rear- is great. Good jounalists keep appearing in publications. There are many. How much does it cost to be an informed citizen? This is an important topic in the larger issue about keeping our democracy.
PS Great photo of you!! Thank you for what you do.
