πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ at all of this! First of all, welcome to Substack.

Second, I'll address your #3. As someone who routinely goes stupid-viral on Notes (5-6K likes) I can tell you it's cool the first day. After that, it just leaves you anxiety-ridden and rocking in the corner because you can’t possibly address all the comments that your OCD thinks you should be responding to.

It's a double-edged sword.

I love the name change and can't wait to read it. Funnily enough before I even came onto substack today, the name Oops i started a newsletter just wandered into my mind. I feel I need to clarify that it wasn't as an idea, I mean yours came into my mind. Now I sound like a creep, possibly. Another great read and way to end this name πŸ’•πŸ‘

Feckin shame... that shambolic overlord poking and prodding at us, shoving us around the place and robbing us of our intuition. Vive la résistance - taking down shame one character at a time... 🀺😁

YES...EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID. So accurate. πŸ˜‚ Love this so much... taking down shame one character at a time. πŸ‘ŠπŸ’› (p.s. your emoji is ON POINT)

Thanks for the shoutout! I really like the new name, shame sandwich, but I too will miss the Oops. I think I’ve changed my SS name four times, and only one of those was because I was threatened with legal action!!

So this post was so fuckin awesome. I'm happy substack sent it to me. I'm now a subscriber and as a writer I feel vindicated about my own use of profanity and humor. I watered myself down some but to know that it isn't nessacary is so damn great. Keep killing it and I look forward to what you do next
