Wow - I had forgotten how much I loved that song - thanks for taking me back, Reina! And great snapshots, too!

And honestly, I am also having difficulty figuring out how the 'Likes' are working these days, between Notes and Substack drops. So I'm just winging it the best I can LOL

Hope you have a great weekend!

While I think Substack had good intentions, the "Follow", "Notes", and the like, complicate everything unnecessarily.

Unless the only option is to "Follow", I always Subscribe to a Substack. That way I receive an email whenever new material is Posted. I think "Notes" show up in the "Notifications" when one is on Substack's site, but when I am going through the "Notifications" section, I'm not looking for Posts. For me, "Notifications" is a quick/easy way of seeing if there have been any Comments on my Posts, without wading through all of my emails.

My approach is to send everything out as a Post, and that way everyone who is interested in what I might have to say can take a look at their convenience, not when Substack would otherwise place it somewhere that potential readers might, or not, ever see. And without what, in practice, has become Substackโ€™s โ€œread it or miss itโ€ and โ€œvisit the writerโ€™s Page if you want to see itโ€ result with non-Posts.

Thank you for starting the morning off nicely with the video. A long year this week, but we do not reach mountaintops with escalators.

Keep Posting, My Queen!

Substack for me has become a conversation with like 3 or 4 people these days. That's about it. ๐Ÿ˜†

Exactly, cuz even if U hunt down people's Stacks doesn't mean U can actually see their current work or converse with them๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

They're catering/pandering to the โ€œnew & improvedโ€ doom scrolling audience that are transplants from NormieLand social media๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ
