This looks interesting... I feel like you would need an already established reader base or social media following to build with a community on this platform. But it's also a way to write and publish things without attracting insincerity, lurking, and unsolicited advice. I'll definitely look into this further, thanks!

Ah ok, I haven't had a chance to check it out but that's good to know. You're welcome!

Also, the "5 Tips to Help You Not Suck" on a tote would be fire.

I always enjoy making a new tote, ha. Think I’ll bring back this past design and add the 5 tips tote too. Love that idea! 🔥

Do you have a link to an online store for the things you create, or you do it for fun?

…and just saw your comment about the online store. Not quite yet. The handful of items I sell are spread out online. Working on putting them in one spot, will share a link when I do. :)

By all means let us know once you have the link. I would love to buy something.

When I have the funds, I'm definitely upgrading to a paid subscription or dropping off some coin in your cashapp. Your voice and perspective helps me to feel like I'm not the only one seeing the bullshit for what it is.

In the meantime, how else can I support? I've written a few things on my Medium page that I'm still considering whether I should republish them here or not, so I'm only active with Notes on my Substack at the moment. Actually, that gave me an idea...

You’re so kind, thank you for saying that. Whew, you aren’t out here alone. A lot of us are calling bullshit. Curious to hear your idea! I don’t know much about notes but want to learn. Glad to share this community space with you, Lucien.

My idea was to repost your podcast episode onto my notes, that's all. I use the notes section for short reflections I want to share. I've been using medium for my long form reflections since it's a more responsive app. But idk if the community I'm trying to tap into is over there. Do you think Substack is a good place for longer form content like ours?

Hey Lucien! That's a really good question. I wish I knew a good platform for us. I remember someone mentioning one a while back, I'll see if I can find it. I'm glad we connected here though, even if only for a while. I'd love to follow your work if you're open to sending me your links. :)

I'm learning that the "new followers" I've gained are more likely spammers or virtue signalers. So the answer is no lol. Good luck with everything. Once I drop that donation off, I'll probably get off this platform altogether.
