Waywards features regular writing by James Anderson. The content can vary and might include personal reflections, prisoner solidarity work, coverage of labor struggles and direct/collective action, movement-style journalism, investigative and depth reporting, interviews, profile pieces, social theory, scholarly essays (or what might pass for that on Substack, anyway), media/tech critique, reviews (of books, films, shows, podcasts, albums, etc.), music appreciation, basketball commentary and analysis, exercise physiology-related write-ups, thoughts on health/nutrition, ruminations on Eros/love/sex/romance/intimacy/desire/pleasure, fun facts and thoughts about bonobos and more.

Why subscribe?

You can opt for an unpaid subscription if you’re unsure as to whether Waywards is worth your money. With an unpaid subscription, you’ll receive access to a post or two each month, possibly more.

A paid subscription provides full access to all posts. Waywards will feature several posts per month, and a paid subscription ensures you can check out all of them.

The money from paid subscriptions supports James’s freelance work, providing another income stream that enables him to cover and write about what he might otherwise not receive commission to work on.

A portion of all paid subscription contributions also goes toward a mutual aid fund for James to distribute each month to select persons, organizations, collectives and projects.
