The Substack MasterList pt. 2

A curated lists of substacks you should subscribe too

The long awaited part two to my substack masterlist is now finally here!! I wanted this one to feel a lot more organized, so I have the topics of the substacks sorted a bit more, so it’s easier for you all. I really hope I can help you find some good articles to read instead of being stuck in a loop of doom scrolling.
