hey there beloved!

i hope that U are having an auspicious Saturn-day. there’s no official issue this month, but i just wanted to inform U that i’m switching from Substack to Buttondown to publish my writing moving forward.

where U can find my upcoming content:

returning to the Source • Buttondown

welcome to returning to the Source (R2TS) by me, Dkéama Alexis. this newsletter is a sacred, kaleidoscopic exercise in Black queer and trans— feminist bricolage. like only a two-head trickster spirit can, i'll be weaving webs between tarot, Black feminism(s), Black/African/Indigenous spiritual technologies, music, film, and so much more. thank U for witnessing me as i turn my mirror towards U and share my reflections.

if you’re already subscribed to me here and want to continue receiving what i share, no need to do anything! i’ve just imported your contact information over on Buttondown! just make sure to peep ya spam filters so that my newsletters make it to the top of your inbox in the future. and as always, share the link around with any & all of your loved ones <3

why i’m switching: i recently learned that Substack takes money from smaller creators using the paid feature and uses those funds to pay violent TERFs in the six figures, so it feels more responsible (to me) to commit to an alternative, even though i put my content out for free (for now).

so far I’ve only seen trans people talking about leaving substack and I hope cis people stand with us and do it too

Because folks are asking in my DMs, start w/this @sadydoyle post: doyles.substack.com/p/in-queers-we… Then Substack posted an attempt to explain/defend their pro model: Since Jude’s post, the ppl they mentioned in it have sent targeted harassment campaigns at them.

i look forward to sharing my work with U on what i hope is a more ethically-run newsletter platform! (also, wish me luck as i try to figure out how to migrate my past writing over to Buttondown) sending U ease & warmth from my pocket of the universe.

until next time,
