I don't know, but I'm betting it's not a huge priority for them. Wonkette uses the platform a little differently than for what it was originally designed, that being a more writing-forward and less social-posting place. But maybe they will evolve? I haven't seen anything to that effect, though.
The annoying thing is that they *do* support in-line images -- and basic text formatting -- in the Notes interface. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to add it to the article-comments interface.
Well, I can understand allowing *articles* to have more complex formatting than Notes or comments, which are expected to be short and simple by comparison.
I’ve noticed that if I try to noncomment from the internet - it don’t work - so I use Substack - reluctantly - but 94.3 percent of my posts are from an iPad - so - what can you do -
Would you mind clearing your cache and trying again? I think I set it up for everyone, but maybe I still need to toggle something somewhere not immediately obvious.
I tried to comment on your white vested grey cat, I had one of that model cat that lived to be 19, she was hell on paws, I still miss that old mean cat.
Sorry. I wish I understood what I could do differently to make it work for you. I am noticing not all posters have a "paid" Substack badge next to their nyms, (and I bet many of them are probably Paypal donators, just like you), so I don't think that's the cause of the block. I can't figure it out.
Eeek, I'm sorry. I'm out of ideas. You could subscribe (for free) to Wonkette for the short-term and post and then unsub if you didn't want to continue on. But you may want to continue on too!
Is Loomer's face supposed to look like that? When she got plastic surgery, did they use actual plastic? The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.
Lula's sweet, gray-flecked, face always reminded me of the many lab mixes I've known and loved. Just wanted to say that she picked me up out of some dark moods more times than I can count.
fellow animal lover: bless you! may i suggest you check out the breed pacific that is desired under: Wire-haired-Dachshund "rescue." Same foe the Bluey Woo Woo. just make sure it is near you to make adoption easier. Good Luck!
They have the lovliest faces. In France all those dogs are long-haired and they're everywhere. Called 'caniche' I think. They're always in restaurants, sitting up at the tables. (Or maybe caniche is poodle?)
Thank you. YOur name reminds me of -- isn't javanaise a nonsense language like pig latin? Because I heard a conversation between my husband and a French friend-- and it made my solemn husband laugh hilariously all one evening. I often wondered how our friend could make him laugh so much -- as he didn't speak even a bit of French. But I felt somehow they were laughing at DIRTY JOKES. In French! Which just proves something or other.
"javanais" is pig latin, you're right. "javanaise" is a dance. my screen name is a reference to one of my favorite songs by serge gainsbourg, called La Javanaise, the lyrics of which are va-vou alliterations.
Will new weiner doggie stare forlornly waiting for Evan to finish posting so that they can go out and play? If yes, the spirit of Lula lives on.
Also, because Substack is totes not about posting pix in comments, I added a new chat thread for you to post yer kitties and doggies and fishies and whatnot. https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/3758e070-4d97-449f-afc4-c0659cd56083
ETA: also, remember, as per Evan's instructions, we are being nice today... just sayin', some of you are being more terrible than necessary.
Ta, Martini. I posted Nyla, the Bag Kitty.
Thanks for this! The doggos and kitties are all so adorable and heart-melting I had to click the heart on every single one (even the duck)
It brings up another issue..Does Substack ever plan on making photo-posting possible? Also what's the holdup?
I'd say, "Not a chance in Hell, ever."
It would go against their business model which is to give you certain formatting/editing functions ONLY IF you become an author.
Welcome to Substack, the Amway for writers.
(:

right on...that scans...The social-posting usage is the only 'relationship' I have to substack, so my perspective is skewed
The annoying thing is that they *do* support in-line images -- and basic text formatting -- in the Notes interface. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to add it to the article-comments interface.
And they support more advanced formatting and image handling if you leave notes to become a Substack author. It's like a pyramid scheme.
Well, I can understand allowing *articles* to have more complex formatting than Notes or comments, which are expected to be short and simple by comparison.
I love all the kitties and doggies!
Can we get some guidance on how terrible it's necessary to be?
I don't want to step over the line!
Under Lewis Black levels.
I trust you to use your best judgement. Maybe that's an editorial on my own judgement right there.
So, just a little terrible?
I'm going to try to be like 10% less terrible than I think absolutely necessary, just to be safe.
Terrible lite.
Less facts!
More chilling!
Cheers, Martini
Subscribers only. I haz sads.
Oh really? Let me see if I can fix that.

I was able to comment even though I don't subscribe through Substack? (I'm old school through Paypal)
Aw, thanks! I have 3 mini dachshunds I'd love to share!

No way for me to comment.
(I'm a paying reader but the old PayPal way FYI)

Just start randomly hitting buttons. What could go wrong?
Or, How I Accidentally Learned About Computers.
I am not sure what that means but I logged out and back in and still can't post.
but you just posted.

Is that her real face? 🎭
Evan, I don't have dogs but much love to you and your fur babies.
Can’t post pics here can someone tell me how to?

That poor woman's face looks like a plastic mask. That is some Michael Jackson-level plastic surgery overload.

Love the photo but who is that blowup doll next to you? Where's Loomer?

yes, caniche is poodle. these little dogs are known as "teckel".

Wait so Loomer has the finances to go to the Darien Gap to interview migrants but doesn’t pony up for a dog walker?
