A cancel mob is trying to destroy my work.
I need your help to make sure that doesn't happen.
TLDR: A cancel mob is making a direct attack on my work, my community, and my finances. I need your help to stop them.
If you value my work, please consider a $8/month or $80/year subscription. I’m funded entirely by you.
For over two and a half years, I have been targeted by an ongoing harassment campaign by people who are desperate to silence me.
This isn’t really a secret. I’ve talked about it publicly on many occasions. Not only has it been a constant distraction from the work I am trying to do, but it has also driven me into periods of deep depression, and has almost resulted in me quitting entirely on more than one occasion. If you want to read more about the harassment campaign, I’ve documented it on a separate substack, Surviving Keri Smith.
Why am I bringing this up now?
Because now they are making direct attacks on my community and my finances. And I need your help to make sure they fail.
I fund my work in a variety of ways, but here are a few that are important:
Paid memberships on my Substack (or Locals, or Patreon) that provide access to premium content and private support calls as an exclusive perk.
Merchandise sales from Unwoke Art.
Of course, there are other ways as well, but those are the primary ones relevant to today’s discussion.
When people support me on these platforms, they free up my time to spend more time with you, creating content for you, answering your questions, and providing activities for our community to participate in together.
For the past year, the people attacking me have promised their followers that they will destroy my ability to earn money online.
They promised them I would be bankrupt.
They promised them they had destroyed my ability to find work.
They promised them I would run out of money back in February (they were obviously wrong about that, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference).
And because none of their efforts have been able to silence or bankrupt me, they are now making more overt direct attacks.
Last week, they paid money to join my private supporter zoom call, posted the link to the call on Twitter, and then played porn in the middle of the call to disrupt it and disturb my supporters.
They are stealing my merchandise designs and selling them online to cost me sales.
They are threatening to release premium content that is behind the paywall on this Substack publicly cost me memberships.
Here is evidence that backs up each claim here:
Here they are posting my private zoom link on Twitter to encourage leftists to join the call and harass the people on it (the zoom link changes each call so, don’t worry, we won’t use this one again).
Here is them discussing stealing my designs and selling them to impact my sales:
Here is them threatening to release my premium content to cost me money:
Here is them saying overly they’ve already canceled me:
These are just a few examples from the last week. I could give you hundreds more, but this feels sufficient to prove the point.
They are doing all of this to silence me and destroy my work.
This is what it looks like when a cancel mob comes for you. If you believe in what I’m doing, I need your help to stop them.
I am completely funded by you. Without your support, my work will not be able to continue.
If you are already a paying supporter on one of my platforms, thank you for your support. I hope it will continue, even as we work our way through these bullies trying to destroy our community and releasing my premium content.
They may try to disrupt things until we figure out who they are and remove them. I ask for your patience and I humbly apologize for anything they might say or do.
We have built a very special community, and I will not allow them to destroy it. As long as you show up, I will show up for you.
If you suspect someone in the community of being a member of this group, please let me know.
If you are not yet a supporter of my work, please consider becoming one today. We never bend the knee to bullies. If they are able to drive people away from supporting my work, the woke mob wins. You are the only people who can prevent that from happening.
The best platform to support my work on is this Substack. You can sign up for monthly or annual memberships.
You can also support my work on Locals or Patreon if those are platforms you prefer.
If you’re looking for merchandise to support me, Unwoke Art is the only store I sell through. And I promise you the quality of my products is far better than what they are selling, even with them stealing my designs.
Of course, you can also sign up for YouTube channel memberships and send in superchats on my live streams if that is what you preview.
You can also make direct donations on my website.
I will continue to try to do my best to break down the woke ideology in plain English, and teach you everything I know about what is going on in the world in a nuanced way.
This is our chance to stand up to the woke bullies and say “you’re not going to destroy the good thing we have going.”
When things have gotten really dark with the constant harassment, this community is what has pulled me through it. Now that they are making more direct attacks, I’m asking for your help again. I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but this is the price we pay for saying the things that others refuse to and for revealing the information people don’t want shown.
The only way this work continues, despite the bullies’ best efforts, is through your support. Thank you in advance for the help.
Still supporting with a little cash, some clicks and views, and also prayers. Non Carborundum Illegitimi!
Karlyn, the attacks are proof that you are being effective. As old Winnie said, "Nevuh, nevuh, nevuh give up!" We've got your back.
