Hello, Hello Fellow Musers! Thank you to everyone who has read the Substackaversary Year 2 post, as well as 💜, commented in shared celebration, texted, and re-stacked! In addition to the anniversary post, there have been a few more subscribers to this Substack! Please join me in welcoming them😸😸😸
Welcome To New Fellow Musers!

Thank y’all so so much for joining this smol-yet-ever-growing-corner of Substack! I look forward to seeing you in the comments (if you feel comfortable publicly commenting, of course!)
If you don’t feel comfortable with a public comment, but something I wrote in the article-essay you received in your inbox intrigued you, you can always email me via said post that possibly intrigued you to want to start a conversation. You can also DM me via the Substack app/website as well (because I’m assuming that most of you don’t have my phone number, and nope I will not give it out)!
Joking aside, thank y’all again for joining this Substack! I also occasionally put stuff in the Chat that very few people seem use, even though I see writers talking about it all the time. You can access the Chat via the Substack app or website. I have it set to where you can start your own threads, just please remember that BossLadyCat Nalia keeps an eye on the Chat and will let me know if something smells off =^_^=
I thank y’all again for joining this community! I send many Hearty Huzzahz your way!
At this time, this Substack is at 136 subscribers🎉🎉🎉I’m hoping that we can reach 150 subscribers by the end of the calendar year, so I guess I better make those article-essay-posts happen, huh?😉
Edit: Immediately after I sent this post out, I saw that there were 2 new subscribers! I apologize to y’all for not checking before sending this🤦♀️If y’all aren’t too upset and are willing to wait a month, you both will be included in July’s Shout Out post💜💞Thank you for joining this smol-yet-ever-growing corner of Substack! (And once again, I apologize!)
In the anniversary post email, I mentioned that some things were happening and that was why the anniversary post was late. Two of those mentioned things were that I’m packing to move to another place (same city though), and that I’m still working on my grad school application. Both are slowly yet surely coming along. I was hoping to have my application completed and sent in by today actually but—>The other big thing that happened is that I caught the dreaded food poisoning this past week, so I’ve been recovering all week. The nausea I felt early on has 98% subsided (except for if I wake up suddenly), but it’s been bouts of low energy to high energy bursts and back to low energy all week. I’ve been spending the weekend resting and recovering, and I think I’m close to feeling back to normal, so I’m hoping to be fully back to 100% this week sometime-just gotta get back on my half-existing sleep schedule!
I was hoping to have another preview of the Deep Dive for this Shout Out, but it’s not ready yet. I was able to work on it a little bit yesterday, so yay! I’ll either put a preview in the Chat, or I’ll send an email to the subscriber list to let y’all see the preview! And should I do an email preview, I’ll make sure that it gets sent to all 136 of you-not just 50 of you like the last one I sent out and ended up re-sending!
Before I let you go to peruse other substacks, I’d like to ask and hear from you:
What would you like me to write about for this new Substack year? Are there any topics that you haven’t seen written about alot here on Substack, that are interesting to you, that you’d like me to research and write about?
I’ve already touched on what I hope to be writing about, but I would love to know if there’s something specific you’re curious about! Let me know in the comments, reply to this post via email, DM, etc. and let me know!
Aight, that’s all I have for you today, Fellow Musers. Thank you again to Conrad, Edwin, and Dymtro for subscribing to this Substack! Thank you, always, to you Fellow Musers-both free and paid-who have chosen to stick around! I’ll have a new post for you soon, but until then
Carpe Diem and Huzzah!
