Welcome, Moral High Grounders! Here is the audio version of the newsletter from Friday, October 18, 2024, which was entitled 18 More Days, Y'all. Put On A Kamala T-Shirt And Go Places! But now it’s not 18 days until the election, it’s TWO WEEKS.
Annnnnnnd I have lost my voice. And I am sniffly and yuck. But I’m going to struggle through this audio version anyway, because I lost my voice for the best reason ever, namely being outside at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night seeing the great Joni Mitchell perform live, surrounded by all her nearest and dearest and most brilliant friends (Elton John, Meryl Streep and Annie Lennox were there. No big.) I didn’t lose my voice from yelling. I lost it because this southerner is not used to the dry southern California air, especially at night.
Anyway, these audio versions are a benefit for paying subscribers, so if you love me and feel sorry for my lack of a voice, puh-leeze upgrade your membership to a paying subscription. You’ll get access to these audio versions, plus the new live-chat, plus some upcoming video collabs with other super-talented Substackers.
By the way, until the election, paid subscriptions are 20 percent off FOREVERRRRR.
By the way, we have almost 6,400 total subscribers now! It seems like we’re gaining about 100 new people per week, but I would love to grow so much faster. So please share this newsletter all the places you share things — Facebook, Reddit, even the gross Elon site if you’re still there — so we can keep growing faster and faster!
One day soon? More posts! More professional podcast that’s not just me yapping! The more people become paying subscribers, the faster all these fun things can happen. To give you an idea of what I’m thinking, somewhere between 10 and 20,000 total subscribers will be where I can really start doing bigger things around here, and start thinking about truly expanding this joint.
Thank you all so much for reading and joining and all the things, I adore you all.
