It's a great community of people, for sure. Smart, funny, and well-informed. I am using it as the base for my serialized novel and a few other projects that live on other sites, but Substack lets me reach beyond the communities on those sites to interact with a lot different kinds of people. I am so glad that they added audio, video, and podcasting. It expands what is possible.

I've brought some of my tribe here, but hopefully more will make their way soon. I'm excited to make new friends and nurture the old. I'm all in! I love the flexibility, that was a huge selling point. We're all going to need community as we head into this Brave New World, and being isolated as I am means the virtual community is a life saver.

Carpe Gaudium! What a beautiful idea! Thoroughly enjoyed the vid and will tune into more as time permits.

On a minor personal note: Your words meant much to me. Without whining or complaining (no sympathy, please!), a spinal injury from 8 years ago left me with an ornery bodily roommate (his name is Painpal). I swore to myself when understanding this physical condition that I would not allow it to take away my joy. It hasn't.
