Congrats on the 6 month mark. I used to follow about 50 or more Substacks. I have it down to about 5 that I read no matter what the topic is about, and the rest is just noise at this point - this is one I always read! I appreciate your approach and the way you get me thinking about different ways to frame things. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the shout out. Unfortunately, I can not donate to Substack pages, even great ones such as yours. I do my best to get attention to your Substack in other ways and will continue to do so. Stay thirsty, my friend ( for the truth that is )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your work and so happy to be a paid subscriber. Not sorry at all that I will be automatically charged when my renewal comes around. Usually, I put a reminder on my calendar for those types of subscriptions so I know when to cancel, but not for yours, my friend. Not for yours.
Seeing the email, I hastily clicked and opened to read your next instalment with the now usual anticipation. I was taken aback. Six already I thought to myself. Two surely, maybe even three, but six? With a lost sense of the passing of time, I continued to read, until I got to the big bold “It’s been six months today on Substack”. Months? Six months? I was trying to convince myself that it could not have already been six YEARS, and it’s ONLY been six months? How is this possible. Has it really only been six months since we looked around and found TGC and each other on the mountaintop? So much of reality has been distorted, why not time itself? At least up here on the mountaintop we can usually see clearly. Thank you for helping to bring it into focus GC.
You are my favorite Substacker. Your writing is so many things. You make me think, you make me consider, you make the truth known (like it or not). Nothing held back, no false bravado, no egomaniac ranting or repetitive raving. No matter what it is, here it is, and here’s why it is. I think you’re amazing. Really, you are. I appreciate you and everything you’ve taught me in your writings. I hope you blow past your goal by gazillions.
Congratulations on the 6 months! I have enjoyed your writings so much. Not only are you teaching me to look at reality and what the world looks like today, good or bad. I appreciate how you add a timely sense of humor to your articles. You have in me a devoted follower. Sie sind ein sehr begabter Schriftsteller und ich geniesse Ihre Poesie.
GC, you brought me and others here because of your writing and insight, your fault is that you aren't disengaging. True journalists realize how to report without attaching, perspective is everything. I'm a fan, but you need to decide if you're reporting or lamenting, the world is full of subjects to sympathize with and it's the crux of every journalist. Resist the temptation and provide true perspective on how the world might be different from what we think, curiosity will follow.
I wish you well and continued success, we have plenty of writers complaining and fewer still that move us forward, be that...
Happy to be part of the flock. Have to admit, for the most part, I'm just so sick and tired of the neverending deceit revealing stats, but I never miss devouring your work. I laugh, roll my eyes, shake my head, do a fist pump and share your insights with whoever has a brain left. Thank you, and PLEASE, carry on!
Everything Must Go

Congratulations on six months! Thx for being intentional in bringing laughter along with the tough stuff.
Congratulations on the six-month milestone, TGC, and thanks for the mention! It is an honor to be battling tyranny beside you 🛡🙌
I always look forward to your articles...so glad I found you and that you are making a difference in this crazy-ass world...

Thanks for all you do, GC.
BTW, any chance you can lower my subscription rate to $5.95/Month? (I'm a pensioner)

Congrats - 6 months! Well done! And congrats on the upcoming literary masterpiece - look out Dostoevsky!
Yay!

I enjoy your analysis and not disengaging.
Oh that would make a lovely Christmas present - to myself and a few others. Cannot wait.
