I reckon all the topics are related. Anyone interested in any of the radical changes currently facing society will eventually be interested in the other topics, too (whether about public health, environmental crises, energy, freedom of speech, migration, etc.

You’re more likely to win new readers by introducing something new than to alienate new ones. Besides, often such topics are interrelated.

That said, know what you do best and keep your focus there.

I miss a lot of stuff that I am interested in due to time and personal issues. I started following you during Covid but view all the current crises

as related (with the attack on the freedom, health and livelihoods of ordinary people as the common thread) and so it seems natural to me that you or anyone else trying to contribute to the debate would branch out to new topics. I don't see any harm in mixing different topics on the same Stack as many Substackers do that and I doubt it affects their following. I also personally appreciate notifications because if I see from the title that the post interests me I will read it. Otherwise I might never see it. But maybe that's just me. Slán!
