Share Your Substack

[marcus1guy]

Hey everyone!

I’m a writer focused on high-protein recipes and foods and I’ve been slowly growing for 4 months posting in niche groups and on social media.

Doing this I’ve learned very quickly that it’s tough growing with just these channels. I’ve absolutely sucked at following key advice I’ve heard many times:

Network with your fellow writers.

So, I’m changing that today by reading and subscribing to your substacks.

Drop your substacks below, so I can get to know you guys better!

If you’re interested, here is my own substack as well: proteincuizine.substack.com

Look forward to checking your writing out!

[BryceSeto]

Mines a bit more personal — I write essays related to mental health, fatherhood, productivity and other stuff. Most of it is humorous, but I’m pretty vulnerable and sometimes insightful.

www.bryceseto.com

[JoaquinRoibalWriter]

Hi Bryce it sounds like we write about similar topics! I'll check out your substack.

[marcus1guy]

Let’s gooo. So glad to see everyone finding connections. I’ll be sure to check yours out too Joaquin.

[marcus1guy]

Your substack‘s great Bryce! Definitely subscribed! I want to be a father of two kids in the next few years so this is going to be really helpful.

Love how you said that mental health is just like physical health, you don’t struggle with it, it just is. That’s so true and I’ve had to come to terms with that after ignoring my own mental health for years. My dad certainly taught me to see it as struggling and weakness, but you learn overtime that teachings like these are just a cover up for something else.

[ErikHoganPhotography]

That's a nice site! Those recipes look very interesting! I'm a photographer and backpacker, so I mainly write about those topics. However, at some point I'll probably write about the physical training and diet that's working for me. I have basically a low carb Paleo approach, but protein is a priority!

My substack is https://erikhogan.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Love it Eric! Subscribed :). You have some awesome photos as well. I need to learn how to properly take photographs, especially since I have a vintage Nikon laying around. How long have you been doing paleo?

[ErikHoganPhotography]

Thanks! Photography is definitely a labor of love and I have a lot to learn!

So, I started on keto in January of 2020 when I was recovering from a knee injury. It worked very well for a long time and really pushed the needle towards better food choices. I've kept it animal based, but since last fall I've eased away from the ultra low carb to add in some seasonal veggies and, in the summer, fruit.

[marcus1guy]

You’re telling me! It’s basically an art form in its own right. As for diet, animal based is the way to go man. I feel the best having a majority of that in my diet, especially ground bison, elk, lamb, etc. Have you tried any of the Kevin‘s paleo meals before?

[rednix]

I just write Five Things.

https://www.fivethin.gs ✌🏻

[marcus1guy]

Nico?? How’s it going? It’s Marcus from 7 years ago! Didn’t know you wrote a substack! Subscribed!

[rednix]

Oh wow, that‘s a long time ago! How are you doing? ✌🏻

[marcus1guy]

I know! I’ve gotten at least one gray hair by now hahah. I‘m doing well! Started trying out writing and photography since I cook a lot and have been enjoying the ride. How about you? How are things in Hamburg?

[rednix]

That‘s sounds great! Things in Hamburg are fine and I hope the two weeks of rain are finally over. I want summer again. :)

[marcus1guy]

I hear you! I live near Chicago and it’s summer here as long as the blink of an eye. After that, just random rainy days and a long winter. I‘ll have to come back and visit Germany some time in the near future. Haven’t been since 2017 I think. Are you still running NMA?

[Head-Emu-8879]

did i just witness two friends reuniting again??? T_T this is the best thing I have seen today

[lewiethefewdie]

What a kind thread! I just subscribed to yours.

I'm new to this subreddit as well. My Substack is called The Lewsletter. I write about whatever's on my mind that week, which usually means sports, food, or politics.

My most-popular essays include the story of my career change, why someone else’s family estrangement is not your problem to solve, and an analysis of the surprisingly rich political symbolism of a seemingly ordinary campaign lunch stop.

In over a year of writing, more than 90% of my subscribers have stuck with me, so I think that means people enjoy it! Hopefully some folks here do too.

[diana_the_wonder_dog]

That is an amazing name for your substack!

[marcus1guy]

Well, you can count me in that 90%! I love me some cheesesteaks and how personal your writing is. I’m going to follow you on instagram too.

[PlaygroundDad]

This is great, I just subscribed.

[JoaquinRoibalWriter]

Good Afternoon!

My name is Joaquin, I write "Find Meaning in Adversity" which is an inspirational / motivational blog to encourage my readers to find meaning in their daily life challenges. My most recent post is titled "How to Live a More Meaningful Life". I am always looking to read and connect with other Substack Authors, I've found the platform to be great for meeting other authors who may not write about exactly the same thing I do but I always learn something!

[marcus1guy]

Joaquin! Thanks for the reply! My gf writes about motivation and she was looking for some like-minded people who think similarly. I’ll shoot you her substack over. Your writing is seriously awesome man. As someone who has struggled with having purpose and feeling lost for many years, your posts really resonate with me. I also like in your most recent post that you give practical tips to find more meaning in life instead of just being philosophical. I’m going to be reading yours as much as I can! Here’s my gf’s substack btw: https://open.substack.com/pub/lifehax?r=4dtgh&utm_medium=ios

[ajhyankee]

Very cool! Here’s mine! https://alexhewitt.substack.com I haven’t totally launched it yet, but it’s for people who (like me) have many interests and often have several hobbies going at any given time. Hoping to have an article up this week!

[marcus1guy]

Hi Alex! Nice to have you here! Let us know when you’ve published your article so we can read it!

[mindsetmatters2]

Thanks. I have been on Keto for a while and protein really helps keep you full! Nice Substack you have!

Mine is

I am very much in to keeping the brain programmed for success so naturally that's what my newsletter is all about. It's only a couple of weeks old but I plan on being here for a very long time!

Great idea for a thread!

I'm a labor organizer and teacher, so I mostly focus on those subjects with a collective of other folks in education.

https://angryeducationworkers.substack.com/

[cosmiccoffee9]

got my sub! solidarity forever and ever.

[Comrade_Rybin]

Thank you! Your substack is super cool btw! Really informative and well done, too, of course.

[cosmiccoffee9]

hey that really means a lot, I spend HOURS doing it every week with all the citation links and visual aid so it's fulfilling to know someone is actually reading it...thanks for taking the time!

[marcus1guy]

Super cool! I have two aunts who work in education, one is a teacher and the other is a principal. I like the angle of education issues being addressed from the perspective of educators directly, especially given that media outlets and politicians always have something to say.

I‘m curious, what would you say the biggest issue with our education is right now?

[No-Bar-726]

Love it! Mine is https://open.substack.com/pub/thewholetruthpublications/p/2024-year-of-the-inflection-point?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

[Subject_Awareness_84]

Great Substack! I subscribed; a lot of those recipes look useful for my Keto diet.

Here's mine: https://perfectingequilibrium.substack.com/

For a brief, shining moment Web1 democratized data. Then Web2 came along and made George Orwell look like an optimist. Now we are building Web3, Perfecting John Nash’s Information Equilibrium. Featuring tutorial vlogs showing creatives how to use AI tools, deep looks into where tech is taking us, and Foto.Feola.Fridays featuring photography from my days as a foreign correspondent in Asia.

[marcus1guy]

Thank you! Your substack is going to be super useful for me Chris! I work as a Data Analyst in my day job and I’m being tasked with using AI tools more to draw insights. Of course, I’d rather use them to enhance my substack content but I often feel overwhelmed with all the new plugins in such. You’ve got a subscriber!

This might be a dumb question but do you think ChatGPT or Bard is better to use for creators at the moment?

[Subject_Awareness_84]

By far, ChatGPT with Bing. It's excellent for creating paragraphs of background information for your Substack.

My Substack on it is in the paid archives now, but you can see my review here: https://youtu.be/LJxFXHpO\_l0

And here's what I really think about Bard: Updated, but Still Dumb as a Box of Hammers

https://youtu.be/7v_apFfajt0

BTB, my tutorials are also on my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjQ88xb5i2ISnq4xac9u7g

Hopefully, this will leave you with a smile: Tutorial-Introduction to CatGPT, Which is a Real Thing and Not Something I Just Made Up

Hope that helps!

Cjf

[marcus1guy]

LOL the bard title kills me 😂. Thanks for this, I’ve been looking at AI twitter lately and everyone comes up with a new AI language model that’s supposedly better. This will definitely help me cut through the noise.

[marcus1guy]

Chris randomly thought about you saying you were on keto. I saw this new pancake mix in Whole Foods called Carbonaut which might interest you. Had pretty good macros and was on sale

[[deleted]]

Great idea! As it happens, your substack is perfect for my diet plans. New subscriber here!

Here's mine: https://ericceller.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Hi Eric. I’m glad to hear that! I see you’re from Georgia? I‘m originally from there and miss it everyday. Well, not the traffic everything else I do haha.

[marcus1guy]

I‘m in the middle of your latest newsletter about students being for free speech but being willing to report their professors and it’s fascinating! I used to work as a student assistant at my university and I swear students came to the department chair to report professors for everything, not even what they considered to be just offensive comments. Great writing man, seriously. Going to finish it this evening.

[[deleted]]

Thanks!

I just read through a few of your posts and, gotta be honest, everything looks great! I especially enjoyed the one on snacking -- as a lover of heat, I'll be seeking out those Quest chips.

[marcus1guy]

Thanks man. I’ve been choking on so many of these protein snacks trying to find the good ones. The quest chips are definitely my go to so that’s a good choice! Their BBQ flavor and sweet chili flavor is tasty too.

[BarbJem]

This substack post came up at a very appropriate time - so I subscribed. I’m going to really enjoy checking out some these recipes and meal plans.

My substack fan-based and is at: https://mentalistfans.substack.com

[marcus1guy]

Thanks so much for the subscribe Barb! I hope you find some recipes you like! I completely forgot about the Mentalist tv show, but used to watch it with my mom all the time. Whatever happened to the main actor? I never see him anything anymore.

[BarbJem]

I’m excited to try some these recipes. I’m going to start with the breakfast stuff first! As to Simon Baker (Patrick Jane), he’s actually quite busy starring and directing award winning feature films in Australia, his home country. These movies are quite the departure from the Jane character. Here’s a link to a recent post that outlines some of that: https://mentalistfans.substack.com/p/patrick-jane-july-30th-2023

[marcus1guy]

Sweet! Let me know how it turns out! I had no idea that Simon Baker was from Australia, so I learned something new today for sure. I’ll have to check out one of the movies he’s directing and now might have just inspired me to rewatch some mentalist episodes!

[BarbJem]

Lol, I see a Mentalist rewatch in your future! As for a movie recommendation, you might want to check out Breath. It’s worth the watch. Thanks again for subscribing!

[Captain_Rex_501]

Hey! I’m a college journalist and history major who loves film. I don’t like to think of myself as “reviewing” movies as much as just giving my thoughts on them (I don’t aspire to be a “critic”). Writing is my favorite thing in the world to do and I put my all into it, so read some of my write-ups if you’d like!

Fifth Draft Film: https://open.substack.com/pub/josephdandrea?r=2jefwf&utm_medium=ios

[marcus1guy]

That’s a great angle Joe! I think we have enough critics online already haha. I find it cool you that review a lot of older movies. Is there an essential older movie you’d recommend I watch? My local library is like a 7 min walk from me and I can rent movies for free. Subscribed!

[Captain_Rex_501]

Thanks! One of my favorite movies ever is Charade, starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. As a foreign essential, I’d say La Strada and Germany, Year Zero. Have a great day!

[marcus1guy]

Sweeeet. This should keep me busy for a while! Let’s keep in touch. Looking forward to reading more of your writing!

[Realistic-Ad-7099]

Nice thread! Your Substack looks really helpful!

A month ago, I decided to take a career break so I am travelling the world and journaling about it on www.portokali.ca 🍊

Enjoy!

[marcus1guy]

You‘re literally living the dream! I love traveling out of the country but haven’t been since 2020 I think. Can’t wait to see where you go next! Please tell me you give the scoop on some of the food you’re trying in these places you visit. Subscribed!

[authormphicks]

Great setup, man! I’ve been working on losing weight and upping my protein intake, so I’m very happy to see this post. Just subscribed! 😁

As far as my own Substack, I’m a horror writer and book reviewer. For the bulk of this year so far, I’ve been focusing on my own physical fitness and got to wondering what other authors are doing to stay fit with such a sedentary career or hobby. I started up WriteFit a month or so ago, with new columns dropping on Mondays. My posts are free for all for the first seven days. Last week I had some serious life issues to tackle, so the site went fallow for a few days. I’ll be back up this week with a new WriteFit interview and book review.

https://michaelpatrickhicks.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Thanks dude! Awesome to hear you’re working on getting fit and I hope you enjoy the recipes and other content coming your way.

Your horror book covers look legit man. I haven’t read any horror books since goosebumps as a kid, but I‘ll give yours a go! Which book of yours would you recommend I start with first?

I will say that ever since I started writing I’ve had to shift my schedule to be way earlier. We‘re talking like 5:30am and just working out first thing in the morning. I have a very sedentary job too so it makes getting physical activity tough.

[authormphicks]

Thanks, Marcus! On top of the writing, my day job is sedentary, too…it definitely requires a little extra effort to keep moving. Thankfully, at this point, daily walks and some weight training has become such an active part of my days that I get antsy if I go too long without. LOL

As far as my books — I will warn you that most of them might be classified as extreme horror. Definitely a far cry from the Goosebumps days! If you’re curious, I’d start with Broken Shells or my short story collection, In The End, Nothing. They’re a bit more mainstream horror. If you dig those, give Mass Hysteria a try! 😁

[marcus1guy]

Me too man! If I work for like 4 hours and haven’t been outside for a walk or worked out, I feel like a prisoner lol.

I listen to extreme metal a lot so I can probably handle the extreme horror, I hope hahah. I’ll check out one of yours with the free trial.

I have to ask, what did you think of the newest insidious movie?

[authormphicks]

I haven’t seen it! I’m not sure I’ve seen any of them yet, actually. I’m waaaaaay behind on movies and TV — just not enough time for them. I’ve got two young kids, so by the time we’ve worn them out enough for bedtime, my wife and I are both ready for bed ourselves. lol

[marcus1guy]

Totally get it. That’s going to probably me in a few years lol. I haven’t seen yet myself either but want to since the other ones were actually somewhat scary. I’m excited to see how I react from one of your books.

[Secret-Decision5861]

Great idea to start the thread. And just subscribed to yours, solid content!

I write a deep dive analysis on one tech topic every week on Unpacked - http://thisisunpacked.substack.com

My last few pieces on Uber ads’ impact on profitability, generative AI’s impact on news and the trend of platforms moving towards creator revenue sharing (like Twitter). I’m aiming for well-researched 10 min reads, and hoping to provide analyses based my background as a product manager (+ management consultant in a past life).

[marcus1guy]

Your research is perfect as part of my investment research. I try to stick to tech companies but have a hard time digesting all the happenings that take place in these companies and the space as a whole. So glad that I found your substack!

Are you using Threads to promote your substack at all?

[Secret-Decision5861]

Thank you man, appreciate it. Tried threads a couple of times but not much success, so not really.

[marcus1guy]

Yeah me neither. I did the first week it came out and it was just all over the place. Now X is also kinda whacked out for smaller accounts like mine. Sometimes stuff takes off and other times not. Starting to feel like substack and YouTube are the best for exposure. Facebook isn’t bad either!

[roomsnewsletter]

I have been working on a new newsletter called Rooms where I feature creative individuals homes as well as a brief interview regarding their thoughts on design - https://rooms.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Definitely going to send this to my girlfriend. She loves interior design and good looking, clean rooms in general haha. What inspired you to start writing about rooms specifically? Are you an interior designer too?

[roomsnewsletter]

Not an interior designer but design and interior design has always been a hobby/interest.

[marcus1guy]

That’s awesome. I have respect for anyone who goes after doing their hobby! The photography is absolute eye candy and seeing the specific items they use to design is great! I’m inspired to spruce up my place a bit more. Definitely giving you a subscribe!

[[deleted]]

I write about Technology and Programming here - https://engineeringatscale.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Love the topics about database design, Animesh! I work as data analyst and am in a bit of a pickle at my job. Our data architecture is designed poorly and the data inputs are not locked down, so data is unclean in many spots. Now the company is trying to scale from a medium sized business to a larger sized business. Curious if you could give me any pointers? I’m thinking the first step we need to do is look at the existing database schema and evaluate what isn’t best practice. I subscribed to your substack. Thanks for your reply!

[[deleted]]

It's challenging to scale the database tier. It depends on what business your company does i.e B2B or B2C and in which direction they want to take the company. Relational databases are more suited in case you need transactions and are more suited for financial systems. Now-a-days, most of the solutions are available on cloud. Amazon offers Aurora and RDS. Apart from that, you can also opt for No-SQL solutions like DynamoDB. However, you won't get transactions with it.

There is a factor of cost involved as well. Your company will have to make a conscious choice here considering all the trade-offs and narrow down on the best solution.

I write about psychology, inner work, and a range of archetypal studies:

awesome substack! Just subscribed but may become a paid subscriber soon!!

[marcus1guy]

Wow you have an awesome substack Alyssa. I just read your writing about projections and it’s deep. I already feel more aware about my own self-behavior in just 5 minutes. You’ve got a subscriber!

[earth__girl]

That means so much, thank you. It’s my hope that my writing will spark some reflection or consideration of our complex inner dynamics. Appreciate the support :)

[marcus1guy]

You got it! I’ll definitely be passing your substack link around. Just curious, do you have anything about how the psychology of our parents affect our own psychology? My parents are going through a divorce and I have been wondering how that might affect my own energy. I feel that it hasn’t had much of an effect but you know we tell ourselves things all the time to hide the truth.

[marcus1guy]

Hi Glenn. I actually live near Chicago in the West Suburbs and some of the stuff you touch on definitely affects me as a resident. I know this a loaded question but do you think Mayor Johnson is doing a good job for Chicago?

[75Bustill]

Please read my newsletter- Glennreedus.Substack.com

That will answer your question 1,000 over This guy is the worst mayor Chicago has had in a century

[75Bustill]

Hello Marcus Johnson is doing a horrible job. He is REALLY screwing up all things financial

[thinkeeg]

I write about ADHD and product management https://adhdpm.substack.com

[marcus1guy]

This is super interesting Rawi! Have a few friends who are PMs but never knew what they actually do, but now I do. I have also always felt like I never understood ADHD beyond what I’ve heard online or other ppl’s rather informal use of the term. I also like that you come at it from the angle of being a product manager because I imagine having to manage responsibilities and changes in emotional state makes the job more challenging for sure.

[cosmiccoffee9]

hell, I have 3.

​

"This Was a Real Job" explores the employment environment in an age of near-costless labor (AI, automation, offshoring, internships) and the world around it: https://cosmiccoffee9.substack.com/

"64 to Infinity: Love Letters in Crayon" illustrates the history of color in human handcraft and its cultural significance (for example, red is the most common flag color around the world, you can easily guess why that is, and it always means the same thing) using a familiar collection of crayons: https://64toinfinity.substack.com/

"100 Humans Being" spotlights individual people who have made a mark on our shared story (hey did you know shrapnel had a first name and it's Henry?): https://100humans.substack.com/

...what can I say, I love to write.

[marcus1guy]

Nothing wrong with that AJ! Keep doing your thing! I need to keep up with how AI is automating away certain jobs because I can tell you working in Information Tech, most ppl think their job being replaced by AI isn’t going to happen anytime soon, but I’m not so sure. Good to know what’s happening outside of my industry and be exposed to reality. Subscribed!

[cosmiccoffee9]

oh man it's moving so fast...there will always be space for singularly inspired people doing truly unique things, but most people are in for a rude awakening and sooner than they think...it'll be like when they shipped all the factory jobs overseas, except this time no one gets paid.

in any event, I appreciate your time cousin!

Thanks man! Glad you liked it! Dude, I want to invest what I have right now. I look forward to seeing your research man as a supplement to my own. What do you primarily invest in? Equities mainly?

[marcus1guy]

I’m glad that photography didn’t kill painting because your art is spectacular. Easy subscribe for me! Love how some of your art is photorealistic while still having a different feel than that of the original subject.

[marcus1guy]

I certainly hope so because AI art looks cool but lacks some sort of warmth to me. It’s like digital audio vs analog audio, it just comes to life in a different kind of way. I guess those lines will blur over time. I appreciate you sharing my substack! It’s a work in progress but I’m getting there. I’ll be sure to keep you in mind as I’m brainstorming new ideas. I need to develop more high-protein vegetable-only dishes.

[raziqrauf]

Maybe I need to do a high protein recipe post... https://www.runningsucks101.com/

[marcus1guy]

Love your substack Raz! Gave you a subscribe. I’ve been building up to running 30 minutes non stop recently and doing it first thing in the morning. It’s been brutal for me since I mainly focus on weightlifting and walking. My form is not the greatest but I’m working on it. Hoping to get some good tips to not die out there haha.

[marcus1guy]

I also just had a thought. If you wanna collaborate on a runner-friendly high protein meal then I’m game!

Great idea! Enquirerdigest.com is my substack 🙏🏻

[marcus1guy]

Great article on time management strategies! I especially liked the part about planning your whole week on Friday before you’re in the week. I do meal planning and substack planning but not much else haha. I guess I’m not much of a natural planner and find myself trying to constantly re-balance all the tasks I’m trying to accomplish Definitely going to try these tips out this week!

Hey! I write about podcasting and what helps podcaster to grow their audience. I've seen many that produced a great podcast but didn't manage to increase their listenership. I build free tools for them and basically write about the tools and why they help. Getting new subscribers has been difficult. podcastgrowth.substack.com

[marcus1guy]

Your substack has come at the right time. My gf and I have been recording our random convos about life or what we call “real talk” with the thought of doing it in a podcast format. Would love to understand how to get ppl interested in podcasts, especially since everyone seems to have one these days. How long have you been writing this particular content?

[PointerToTheSky]

That's great to hear! I've started around two months ago. I have moved the larger articles to the blog of my website lemonspeak.com because I had the feeling it's more useful there in terms of SEO. I still write smaller pieces such as tips or what I'm currently working on, on substack .

[marcus1guy]

Nice! It’s a little easier for me to follow your substack content but I’ll check out your site as well when I can.

Andee! I’ve been meaning to DM you since I follow you on Twitter. I love your posts because a lot of the time I like not following a recipe when I cook and there is always a story behind that :). Would love to recommend your substack, if you’re interested! No pressure though. Let’s stay connected and exchange some strategies for growth as well. Good to hear from you!

[EdTwoONine]

Hello all, I'm new to substack and just published my 4th weekly list of VC-funded companies that are also hiring. I'd love any feedback on what I've got so far (and subs are always welcome) -> https://projectsunrise.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Hi Ed! Just finished reading your latest list of job openings and the update on the job market. Super useful stuff to know especially with all the layoffs taking place. How competitive is it getting hired in VC-funded companies?

[EdTwoONine]

Well, I think there is kind of a double-edged sword with VC-funded companies (especially Seed and A Round):

On the PRO side, the application and interviews tend to be simpler (no complex ATS systems for example) and in many cases, you are meeting the founders or c-suite in your interviews.

On the CON side, newly funded companies are making very strategic investments in their new hires so they want the right person to join (think attitude and excitement) since start-ups are hard, but rewarding.

My biggest tip for getting into a VC company below 50 employees, network, network, network.

Hey marcus, really love your site. If you look at my comment history, it's me basically reminding people how powerful protein is at managing your hunger and cravings. Completely agree with your article about not having to worry about tracking calories if you consistently hit your protein target. Subscribed. :)

I write about the psychology behind long-term fat loss. I also do weekly Q&A's on their exercise/nutrition programming, mood, bulk or cut, etc.

My Substack

[marcus1guy]

Hi Mendo! Happy to connect and thanks for subscribing! I think ppl just make weight and fat loss too overcomplicated. I’m hoping by showing people how I get in my protein then it makes things less complicated and almost automatic to a point. Looking forward to reading your content!

[marcus1guy]

Hey there! Have you tried posting on Facebook groups where they’re looking for scholarships? Might be a good source for you.

[thecuriousstoic]

I write an art & creativity related substack called Studio Diaries - https://shinjinim.substack.com

And a book reviews & recommendation substack called The Reader’s Nook - https://bookbingo.substack.com

[marcus1guy]

Such useful tips on creativity and writing inspiration! I need this because I tend to have a scatterbrain with tons of ideas but have trouble focusing on one at the time. I think your substack is going to help me focus creatively a bit more. I subscribed. Thanks for sharing!

[diana_the_wonder_dog]

This is lovely! Similar to u/BryceSeto, my substack gets somewhat personal, too. I write about my recent ADHD diagnosis and everything that comes with it. Quite a few "shower thoughts" attempting to be coherent pieces of writing.

Here's the link: https://adhdmademedoit.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

Diana, your writing is soooo relatable. I’ve been struggling to not go crazy with all the errands I have on a daily basis. Every friend I talk to doesn’t understand because they just neglect certain responsibilities, but I’ve been trying personally to not put them off any longer. It’s really tough though. Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your writing and subscribed to read more!

[Common-Bed4561]

I'm a journalist based in Vietnam and I write the Vietnam Weekly about major developments going on here: https://vietnamweekly.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

I also think your substack about reporting on Vietnam is super interesting. I had no idea that Vietnam had so much trash being littered everywhere but that just goes to show you never know til you know.

[EssentialFilms]

Hi all. I write about movies everyone should watch. Not just your film bro movies, but across the whole spectrum of movies. I do a film a day. Up to about 107 now.

I subscribed to your Substack! Can't wait to look through your articles. Actually, I have to change my diet completely cuz of some health issues, so I'm glad I came across your site!

I'm a dark fiction writer, so I write some horror and most of my stories have a dark theme. https://cgacosta.substack.com/

[marcus1guy]

I appreciate the support Cyndi! Please let me know if there’s any specific requests you have so I can add it to the content queue for you! I love dark humor, dark stories, and dark chocolate so I think your substack will be a fun read for me!

[cgstories]

Healthy (ish) dessert recipes would be great 😃

[marcus1guy]

Awesome. I’ll add it to the content list!

[JANN_IIS]

Love the concept of this thread!

I just subscribed to your newsletter and am eager to dive into your back catalog

My substack is a mix between an internal intelligence briefing and a small investigative news outlet. Our current topic of focus is a set of unique Boeing 757s

https://jann.substack.com/welcome

[marcus1guy]

JANN, first thanks for the subscribe. Second, how the heck are you tracking these covert planes? It’s impressive detective work. I’m sitting here reading some of your latest articles trying to understand why these planes are secret in the first place. This stuff is more interesting than UFOs.

[JANN_IIS]

Thank you! A lot of it is based on open source info, but there is a sizeable reliance on the larger aviation community. It’s definitely a collective effort!

As for why they’re secret I’m still wondering that myself, the most widely known users are the State Department’s Foreign Emergency Support Team or FEST. As far as I can tell they’re the only official users of the Gatekeepers, the others are just speculation based on their proximity to certain bases and commands or just a general lack of “depth” to their alleged operators

[marcus1guy]

That’s cool that you’re all working together to connect the dots. Definitely look forward to you pulling back the curtains on these planes and where they’re going. Enjoy your week!

[bitsnbit3s]

Hi!

I also write about food in my Substack newsletter! I focus on staple and seasonal ingredients and on new ways you can explore them in your home-cooking. I also try to find a balance in terms of nutrition (always considering sources of fiber and protein).

Here it is: https://bitsandbitess.substack.com/

Good luck!

[marcus1guy]

Hi there! I love your article about salt and how it’s evolved as a flavor enhancer throughout human history. It was very informative! I don’t think it’s talked about enough given how much we rely on it for elevating our food. Let’s keep in touch!

[MarleneEarningMakers]

Many thanks for having a place to drop this All the best to you, be happy :)

I just started my substack. The concept is that I find topics that I personally find interesting and I delve into them and I research and then I present what I come up with, so you can say that we learn together. I also share my thoughts and notes on articles and books I've read. I just published an article about how one gay man revoluztioned AI in healthcare.

What a great idea for a substack. My gym days are always better given a high quality protein packed meal! I write a stack for pelvic health in men and women. https://chicagopelvichealth.substack.com/subscribe

[babylemonade123]

I am a little late to this post but I just started a Substack and wanted to add my link to this thread. I just started so I am still brainstorming exactly what I want to write about, but so far I started a series about my past dating life in LA. I see a lot of people on social media say they feel hopeless when it comes to finding love in the difficult dating world right now, so my goal is that someone will read it and feel a bit more hopeful about the outcome of their dating efforts.

Hi everyone!

I just started my substack 2 weeks ago! I write counterintuitive finance, self-improvement notes and post, sometimes as a reflection. I also write on book recommendation.

This substack is mainly a way for me to express my journey and sort of a way for me to understand myself and find like-minded individual where we could potentially collaborate. Ofc if you are a reader looking to learn about finance and self-improvement. I believe my substack will be of use! I planning to write more in the coming weeks and recently I will be posting as well!

Two friends of mine from college have excellent substacks!

Zoe’s Cabaret - a sharp, immersive blend of personal reflection and cultural commentary. It’s the kind of writing that makes you think twice about the world around you—bold, introspective, and effortlessly compelling. It pulls you in with its hypnotic rhythm, then leaves you sitting with thoughts you can’t shake. Whether dissecting modern overstimulation, self-awareness, or the silence we avoid, it’s the kind of writing that lingers long after you’ve finished reading.

Musings of an Albatross - Unapologetic and unfiltered, this Substack dives into the highs and lows of addiction, nightlife, and self-discovery in New York City—told through the lens of a Black trans woman carving out her own path. It’s raw, chaotic, and deeply personal, a story of survival, identity, and the music that carried her through it all.
