For a while like literally everyone else now ,, I wanted to make a substack… it fizzled out as an idea cuz I was overwhelmed by — yes — the writing part! the lack of direction and big open space wasn’t what would spur me on in that moment. Then moved on and thought about a website idea and format ,, and discovered that some of my best creative besties were all into doing smth similar. So we made a website all together! There are seven of us. We each post (a list of) Ten of {something} one day of each week (but we’re not as consistent as we’d like, hence our outsourcing for guest contributors) . I post on Saturday, and I now feel much more freed up in my writing than I did when I tried to make a substack. Yeah it’s just a “list” but the general, simple format has helped me get zany and intricate with it, see myself as a writer again. So ya i love this shit n love my friends pls check us out🤭🤭🩵🤸🏻

i started a substack back in the fall and the only people who read it are a handful of my friends. it’s a lot of fun because i write about whatever i want and they read it no matter what. sometimes they give feedback. so cute!

I finally locked in and made a substacked (only knew about Substack because of pi.fyi so… thanks!)
I’m not the best writer so it’s really intimidating getting onto a platform that’s word heavy… also digitally anxious (being perceived digitally is tough) but I finally decided to just go to help with it and honestly I can’t wait to write more just for fun.
I would like to see more people use it like it’s Wordpress or a diary! And if anyone has any substacked recs please let me know. It’s exciting or maybe it’s the dopamine rush. 🪽🦴🍸💭

Love Substack, but I think writers deserve agency and complete ownership over their work without feeling like they’re:
1. Stuck in a social media echochamber
OR
2. Dependent on the Substack model to the point where their brand can’t survive leaving the platform (if they’re forced to migrate, like with TT)
I’m very pro-“independent blog“ websites bc you quite literally carve out a small domain space on the internet JUST for your work — and you can throw in a bunch more personalizations (ex: colorful themes, graphics, coding stuff by hand, etc) that rly help make it become its own cozy space on the internet for yourself and your readers :)

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!
