This is a Substack-based project. They have a detailed mission statement, including, “Everything is Fine* recognizes that the United States is on a rocket-powered path towards full-throated fascism**, blasting past constitutional/institutional safeguards at warp speed and dragging its people and the rest of the planet, kicking and shrieking, deep into the cold, dark space of techno-oligarchy, christo-fascism and environmental devastation.
While the future feels full of darkness and foreboding, we at EIF* are forced to admit: it’s also a fascinating time to be alive. Sure, it’s a morbid fascination, but fascinating nonetheless. Here you will find opinions, reported stories, essays, profiles and other desperate, shrill yawps into the void, chronicling some of the weirder moments in the United States (and elsewhere) in the second Trump term.” They also have a detailed pitch guide, including, “Everything is Fine* is a resistance substack focused on anti-fascism in particular, and progressive issues in general. … We’re looking for reported stories, opinions, profiles/interviews, and personal essays, of somewhere between 1200 and 2000 words. We pay $200 for an essay/opinion, $250 if there is original reporting, and $300 if there are original photos in addition to the reporting.” Please read the work they have published to get a sense of what they like.
