How to get into your Substack account. Method 1: in a browser- it will ask you to sign in. It will ask for your password. Hit reset password. It will send you a link to either sign in and or reset your password. Method 2: install the Substack application on your phone or other device. Add your email address. It May send you through the change your password routine (mentioned above). Key - must have access to email address you used to subscribe

Hi, Clay. Re: your previous Wordpress - it was a nightmare to log in and I gave up on several occasions. With Substack, I have a password, but it insists it isn't correct and then I have to go the email route, which sends a link from "you" that opens in Edge (which I cannot override as the link opening app), which I don't want to use as I have your site open in Chrome, alongside my other comic sources. Once the email link is clicked it does seem to recognize it in what I have open on Chrome. Extremely clunky process.

It is clunky but I'm glad you're in. There's some good advice for handling this crap in the comments.

Dear Substack,

You know this is a problem. Fix it.

Since Trump was convicted of paying Stormy off to influence the 2016 election, wouldn't it make sense to cancel out Fuckface's entire presidency?

I agree that every judge appointed by Putin's baby traitor should be removed from the bench.

This toon and blog are sooooooooooo great! So true, so clear, so spot-on. Makes me angry that this shit happens, but I am relieved that it is so obvious to many others.

Most of Trump's judges aren't corrupt, as many of them have ruled against his stupidity in the past. That said, some of them are viciously corrupt, and don't care who knows it.

Melissa is right, substack uses that remarkably stupid "if you never got the option to set a password then reset your password" BS that seems to have originated in WordPress. (I think - Most bad things got started in WordPress, IMHO) I work for an IT company that does payroll through a website that will do that, instead of "reset your password" it's "you can't log in, you've forgotten your password". Needless to say, their major business is CyberSecurity. Whee!

Yes, that's what I had to do to fix my login when I signed up. As you might guess from the above, I was familiar with that particular bit of stupid.
