Super Kat World | Kat Scrawls

By Kat Bein

Hot takes, behind-the-scenes stories and new music actually worth listening to.

I have been following Kat's writing for years and I have to say my favorite output from her are her essays in her Substack newsletters. They're both personal and visceral and informative and critical. Highly recommend subscribing and getting hooked on her missives.

Valerie’s Substack

By Valerie Lee

My personal Substack

Matthew Nouriel

I’m an LGBTQ+, Iranian, Jewish writer exploring the fault lines between identity, politics, and survival. From Iran to Israel, from antisemitism to LGBTQ+ life, I write with boldness, clarity, and conviction—because truth matters.

Rave New World

By Michelle Lhooq

Field notes from the fringes of counterculture, by drugs and nightlife reporter Michelle Lhooq

Michelle Lhooq's writing is engaging, her descriptions are visceral and her sense of humor is on point. She's not afraid to go there and it's fun to tag along vicariously through her writing.
