Ohhhh!!! 🪩🥳 Happy ONE YEAR!!! It's so fun to catch what you are sharing (I'm still managing how to keep up with alll the things I want to keep up with) when I can. I started my Substack in a similar fashion 11 months ago, and it's definitely evolved into, I don't even know what, but I love it so that's enough. I can't wait to see what you put out into the world on this next trip around the sun. 💞

congratulations on a year! so i read your post in my email inbox and it came right at the time when i was thinking of making a change. you mentioned how it’s been a good new start and i thought, why not, and moved my newsletter here! the platform is still a bit confusing to me (i don’t understand notes? there’s some message thing too?) but i’ll learn! i’m excited to enjoy substack as much as you do 😊

Thanks so much Sumedha, and thanks for being here! Your blog is one of my favourites to read ❤️ Hope you love Substack as much as we all do here. Notes is a bit like integrated Threads/X, and it's a great place to share quotes from publications. I still haven't understood the Chat/DM feature 😂

YOUR blog is one of my favourites so it’s an honour to know that you like my posts 🥹 yeah, it’ll take a while to get used to Notes, mostly because i’ve been out of social media for… a year and a half? we’ll see how this goes 😂

Happy birthday on Substack! I’m excited for the monthly “menus”. I can tell just from looking at Daisybutter that you’ve worked hard on it too. Honestly even if you enjoy posting on Substack more right now, it’s good to have your own domain in case anything happens to Substack (god forbid)!

Thanks Aliena!!

So glad I've had my own website for years – don't worry, all my essays here are in 'Drafts' on my blog too, in case something happens someday. I'm not on TikTok but many of my creator friends are, and the whole ban situation is wild!

Thanks Flor!!

Honestly? Me either. Time has no meaning 😂 I still barely know how to use this darned platform hahaha! Maybe one of my goals should be to work that out...!
