Congrats! Welcome to the underdog gadfly club. This is the best paragraph ever written about Substack:
"For all the irony and eye-rolling, we were dead earnest about the company mission. We wanted to arm the rebels, root for the underdogs, make America’s present-day gadflies crazy stupidly rich. A decade after the idea went out of vogue, Substack’s leadership maintained the starry-eyed hope that the open internet and its marketplace of ideas could be a democratizing, liberating force. It was hard not to be compelled by such sincerity."
You capture Substack so well here. How lucky we all were to get the chance to work with you. Will be rooting for you always. Congrats and please let's plan many drink dates. Oh and crash all the Substack parties we will never think its weird.
I’d bet on you any day! Can’t wait to see what this next chapter has in store 🧡 feel lucky to witness and learn from your epic chapter here at Substack
The thing is I actually see you writing a couple of newsletters. The best quote from this piece was I need to f****** get in the arena. There really isn't a great open source AI newsletter, that tells us what's going on in the space on a weekly basis and dives deep into some of the more expansive issues. It pains me that you are leaving this job but you were there for quite a while. I've been doing this full time for 3 years.
Beautiful and so brave to read more about your journey! I look forward to following along and if you ever need some community support we’re all here for you over at Sparkle on Substack! ✨📖
Jasmine, I appreciate your knowledge and help over the years. I wish you all the best. My suggestion would be to take your c.v. and clips to Wired magazine; I think they should hire you immediately. I know you worked hard to make Substack a good place for a writer to work, even us boomers! Great triumphs await you.

i'm still prepping my santa suit
I was really hoping someone would make this joke
this world is dying to have a “Dwarkesh meets Ezra Klein but a girl” show/newsletter. this post is so inspiring, Jasmine!
yesss you see the vision
absolutely you sent out strong signals 🫡
What do you mean "secretly"
it was hard to tell when i first met you
the coolest cleverly obscure it until even long after they're dead
Incredibly excited to get to read more of your writing! Congrats on the amazing run and taking the leap!!
joining the substack employee to substack writer club
