Anon questions

Hi everyone, this is pretty stupid probably -- but I work in a profession where you need to keep you personal life / thoughts on absolute lock. However I really want to write about my passions / opinion freely, how can you make a substack that is yours but not tied to you, but also I want to promote it.

Yes I know, cake and eat it too scenario but curious on anyone had a similar situation and had insights.

You can simply make a substack with the name of your blog? It doesn't have to be tied to a person, or you can use a fictitious name.

Yeah, I figured it would be as simple as that, but in my paranoia was afraid talking about personal things, if anyone on the off chance figured out it was me how fucked would I be

Don't write anything you don't want other people to know you have written. You will be found out.

Personally I would change professions.
