Oh Amy, I skip through (delete) so MANY notices (usually dark headlines, detailing things I cannot control) in my email box. But never yours. I look so forward to your memes, some laughter through so much darkness, a light in it all. And I also look forward to hearing the genuine stories of your life, and of the determination that is so much of your life.
I think you said it well. A great deal of these things going on are out of our control, like we're collectively just strapped to a chair watching in horror. Laughter and prayer is so needed in these dark times...
Speed camera vandalized? More like neutralized ... we can expect much more of this from folks who are tired and sick of being under constant surveillance.
I view this election with neither despair nor relief but trepidation though I do not tremble, I quake and seethe. We ain’t out of the woods yet. The road ahead is long and treacherous.
Another "out of the ballpark" Meme Friday! I didn't LOL...I howled with laughter at the "You scream..."...maybe because I grew up with the slogan "You scream, I scream, We all scream, For ice-cream." Just hysterical. The "morbidly obedient" was great. The Ron Paul sweet. Kudos for speed camera and biological female as the winner. Both just so great!!
I'm like one of your other commenters. I've largely started to trash each post to which I've subscribed unless I see a unique feature or new nugget of information. Also, I notice more and more writers are throwing out the beginning to an article only to have the first paragraph followed by a deletion of the remaining post with a "become a paid subscriber" admonition.
Once again, I don't mind. They must do what they feel they must do. I have no problem with their decision, but they dissuade me from reading them. In many cases, I feel sorry for some writers and don't want to unsubscribe...which might be a downer for them. So...I just delete.
Thank you so much for your input and observations. I think some substack writers are at a veritable where do we go from here point and I see many who have gotten bogged down in saying the same thing in different ways. Perhaps due to the upcoming holiday season there is a push for paid subscribers. This is a subject matter I struggle with too, so much so that I want to make a post regarding it especially directed at fellow substack writers. Some take a high road of all of my posts are free because what I saying needs to be shared with the world. On the other end I agree with Sasha Latypova that many of the "thousands of paid subscribers" stacks I come across with very little if any free content and an inability for anyone but paid subscribers to comment probably are CDC et al trolling fronts. I've long lamented how some of the stacks with the highest numbers of paid subs are for people who clearly don't need the money (aka Steve Kirsch) while I've seen a few smaller boutique stacks who are pushing through on new and innovative matters who seemed starved out and went back to their day jobs as it were. I prefer everything I write to be open and free but in honor of and recognition for my paid subscribers I do try to put out content for them as well.
It's always a balancing act and an evolution. Some are guilted and gaslit into working for nothing while others manifest paid subs out of nowhere. I can't keep up with all of the content, free or otherwise lately...
Love that song. Got me in the Tom Petty mood. Great memes as always.
Not sure exactly where we are at in Clown World. Everything appeared to be moving along until Sunday 11/17 when JB signed off on targeting Russia. Great piece out from Simplicius today btw. In there Matt Tabbia (sorry lol) compares Russia media to the West’s.
I have NO clue what the DS is trying to accomplish. They seem to be playing nuclear chicken. This time they are playing it with Trump and Putin is the proxy. Trump put out the most important statement I have ever heard from him on 11/18. He may have to back down tho or we all die.
I know that sounds harsh but we just might be there. Putin’s missile test is about the last warning he’s got in him. It should have sent a clear message. If we continue to escalate it’s a good sign to start kissing your ass goodbye.
Jesus is real. thank you for that last one.

Good stuff Amy, thanks so much!

Your grasp of irony, humor, and spirituality is very cool.
Great Tom Petty song!

PREPARE
I agree fully, What if they threw a World War and nobody showed up to fight?
What if they throw and THEY don’t survive?
Second favorite "F" word!
I wonder what his first is...;-)
Fuck!!!!
Jesus is real when I stop getting annoyed by people.
😹
Critical. Get Big Med money out of mainstream media!
I'm a first-timer - your Notes were in my feed this morning - loved it all!
I woke up with a headache, it's bitterly cold, snowing and blowing a gale, but you managed to shift my gloomy perspective!
Welcome aboard! Sometimes we all need to laugh a bit...glad if it helped you feel better.
Excellent set....as usual. Sharing.
I live in rainbow land. It is a kind of prism.
LOL! It could be worse I suppose!
the same people protesting against DOGE audits are the ones that supported adding 87,000 IRS agents to audit everyone
Great memes!!

You, OTOH, are just plain fun.

Try being a rapper on a writers platform.
I don’t make anything.
Although I admit I haven’t asked for money yet so there is that.
