I’ve been on Substack for just two days, and already, I feel like I can breathe again!
It’s like stepping outside after being locked in a room with no ventilation for years. Just air. A fresh, clean, unpolluted breeze that smells like possibility.
No algorithms squeezing my voice into some tiny little box. No MAGA trolls popping up every five minutes to call me an ape, a monkey, the n-word, the b-word, or the c-word, or threatening to r*pe or blow my brains out.
No swamp of stupid Trump memes…
I never thought I would write. I never thought I would lay myself down and open myself up to be seen. I never considered a life lasting disease. Or even a short one.
I wasn’t writing for you. I was writing for me, for healing.
But I gave a copy to my social worker of my poem, “ A Farewell To Breasts” who gave it to a nurse who gave it to a patient and in the small world of my hospital, it went viral.
Now I can’t stop trying to get through this, this, unexpected, unwanted journey. Fear not, we can find joy!

Great discussions
Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
A new feature I would like to suggest is the ability to somehow highlight the most skilled writers on Substack. For example, as my Serious Literary Diary clearly demonstrates, I am easily one of the most accomplished writers on Substack from a purely literary perspective, but there is no way for the general user to know this at a glance. Perhaps some sort of book or quill icon next to my name might make this more clear? Many thanks.
