"Ideas that I can't get out of my head." You are speaking my language. Ditto. And that's what led me to start my podcast (here on substack). I thought, "I can't be the only one piecing xyz and q together . . . or am I? Is anyone else seeing this? Feeling this? Do you hear the music? Do you want to dance?" and, yes, mostly women are my audience, too (like my "espresso shot" edition on Ketanji Brown Jackson's pause on day 2 of the senate hearings and how that connected to so much history and to the future and to the voices in so many of us). And I get criticized a lot for too many parenthesis in my writing (and I speak in parenthesis, too) - because connecting the dots isn't a linear exploration. It's a meandering one that a good writer, speaker, teacher can pedagogically bring together for you in the end - if you just hang in there for the duration. Love your style!
Very cool! I also believe that people will win with collaborative content. Though mine is pretty infantile at the moment and written by a professed “boomer millennial liberalterian.” Please check it out! I’ll be subscribing to Ms. Rayne.
This is so relatable. It is weird that once you’re on the internet you realize that every part of your life could be on the internet. In someways it’s fun, because there is this sense that all of life is a stage! But sometimes it’s like “ok but let me just hang out with my friends for a minute.” That “could this be on the internet?” mindset has a tendency to creep behind things.
This is important for Substack, how Rayne uses TikTok to develop a relationship and funnel to her journalism audience. TikTok has tons of Educational content that actually scales well with a Newsletter. Forget Twitter, Substack needs to lure more GenZ from TikTok.

The collaborative part struck me forcibly. Very good interview.
