I have to play chauffeur today, so the timing works out to just do a quick, celebratory post. Last night, the Freedom Scale crossed the 1,000 subscribers mark!
I am grateful to you all for being here. I think you know, by the effort I put in to talk with you all in our comment threads, how much I value your presence and contributions. We are doing something good here.
I am grateful to Substack for creating a censorship-free place where one can freely communicate with others. Where one can succeed by the sweat of one’s brow, without the Damocles Sword of the Algorithm dangling above at all times.
I am grateful to fellow Substack writers for all your advice, recommendations, and links.
I am grateful to a very special person for giving me the time and opportunity to try to make this fly.
I know I still have a long way to go, and I am looking forward to it, Next stop—10,000!
Feel free to treat today’s post as an open thread, for any questions, requests, etc. Or just go enjoy some of your other favorite Stacks!
And thanks again!
Congratulations 👏
As a newbie writer - in what I call my 'third act - I am so grateful that there are so many talented writers doing incredible work.
It is so refreshing to have a place where courteous discussions and sharing of information can happen - in a place that respects the fact that we are all different, have different points of view - but at the end of the day - we are all human beings
It's a big deal that people like us can build community here without getting wrecked by fed programmed algorithms (censorship) -- props to you friend, I am grateful to have made your virtual acquaintance here and I applaud you and the work you do. 🏴☠️ Your voice is valuable and necessary!
