The problem with trolls, etc. I imagine can be difficult, but I appreciate allowing unpaid subscribers to comment. I find it somewhat off putting for only paid subscribers to be able to comment, and I have a higher standard of what I’ll support for such sites.
Whatever they’ve done with Substack, I find it a lot more difficult to even find my list I subscribe to and pay to subscribe to. As far as I know, I’m still paying subscriber to your site and I appreciate your insight and hard work.
Sending you a big virtual hug Celia and looking forward to seeing in person some day in the not too distant future. The world would be a better place if there were more like you around 🌺🐝
I agree with you 100%!. If the majority of journalists from the mainstream media would be like Celia, the mRNA injections nightmare would have never happened. The biggest responsibility in this horrible affairs goes to the mainstream media journalists who betrayed all of us, instead of fighting for the truth. We own a world of gratitude to journalists like Celia who were brave to worn us, and never betrayed us. I don't know how we will be able to repay them in our lifetime.
As an unpaid subscriber, what I have learned from the likes of Celia and others has been invaluable, many are better for it. Celia was one of my first substack's to subscribe to and comment with, The confidence she exudes, depth of purpose and willingness to interact and guide a simpleton as myself felt like an honor and increased this person's quest for knowledge.
much appreciated. Many of us subscribe to a lot of substacks and although we would love to be able to financially support all that we subscribe to, some of us don't have the financial resources to do that.
Trolls are definitely an annoyance and I can see how you would want to prevent them from posting. And you can't block one person from posting, right? The only way to do that is to block all non-paying readers?
She would not block reading site only comments. AI and trolling in general is a real problem.
In the 90's when "chat rooms" came about, I quickly realized depth of thought / interaction was impossible so I never went back. Comments can easily turn into waste of time chat rooms. Me thinks, comments are good but will be abused by disinformation bots
"Are you aware that some people can bore you while they are attacking you?”
That's a great quote. Really. It's very giraffic.
I also agree that the Rosenberg seminar is the best video on the whole internet. It's impressive to see one man beating cat videos, who lord over every other genre of internet videos.
I support your undemocratic decision to keep the comment section open. If you change your mind, you can count on my support for that despotic turn also. It's your magazine, it's your rules.
If I can’t comment on somebody’s channel, I leave it. Doesn’t matter what platform I’m on. Without open comments, the comment section devolves into the pathetic level of the New York Times letters to the editors.
Thank you as always. Your content is a generous gift to all your readers. As for donations, I hope you will add a KoFi button. I have found that method easy to use, and prefer not to use PayPal for reasons including their policy of requiring personal information -- biometrics now, I think -- in order to make donations. Thank you again.
Celia, I respect your decision to keep the comments and content free for all. You have such a giving heart! Because you have sown a blessing into the lives of others, I have asked God to richly bless you with paying subscribers whether new or old. I encourage everyone who can afford to do so to consider contributing to TTB financially (even a small one-time donation helps) Blessings to everyone this Resurrection weekend!
Bravo Celia for your post and decision. We are all on the camino of life and with you.
Make life wonderful each moment! I want to listen to the whole video but later...
I could say a lot about early childhood trauma. It is most difficult to overcome. As an elementary teacher, I saw... Those kids needed much more encouragement but they were the hardest to give it to so I consciously made sure they got it with amazing results! I recall reading that it takes 4 positive comments to fix 1 negative comment for a child. Speak life and positive words even when you are correcting a child...or person.
We must change our perspective. When things go wrong you think the day is bad, but think the day is good and it will be so.
2 Timothy 1:7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
James 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
"Aim at something great; aim at things which are difficult; and there is no great thing which is not difficult. Do not pare down your undertaking to what you can hope to see successful in the next few years, or in the years of your own life. Fear not the reproach of Quixotism and impracticability, or to be pointed at as the knight-errants of an idea. After you have well weighed what you undertake, if you see your way clearly, and are convinced that you are right, go forward, even though you...do it at the risk of being torn to pieces by the very men through whose changed hearts your purpose will one day be accomplished. Fight on with all your strength against whatever odds, and with however small a band of supporters. If you are right, the time will come when that small band will swell into a multitude: you will at least lay the foundations of something memorable, and you may...—though you ought not to need or expect so great a reward—be spared to see that work completed which, when you began it, you only hoped it might be given to you to help forward a few stages on its way."
Great choice Celia!!! Bravo!

This used to be accessible on the menu at the profile button. Now it's not, and people don't know where their subscriptions are.
Good link…I just took a look! Muchísimas Gracias 💓🙏🏼
Mil Gracias “Agent Roger W”!😉 I was wanting to see my subscriptions (especially the paid ones) to do a ‘revisión’.
Thanks 😊.

Not consistent with my vote, but very much respect for your decision and motives. I appreciate you.

Comments seem a substack posters lifeblood...
Celia, thanking you sincerely for your efforts...
Let me say then Vinne, that I'm glad to know that and glad you're here for Celia's work as well.

I like those borrowings - pueblo, Camino.
Warning of Redundant Acronym Syndrome: see "Pueblo people"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pueblo_people
Like río grande river.
The R.A.S. syndrome is a major epidemic, totally ignored by the mainstream.

Oh I love this! Yes, no need to refer to “Rio Grande River” as we (La gente que habla español), already know what it is by the word Rio! 😉🤔
Beautiful insights, as usual.
I’m guessing that most ( if not all) of us have people in our lives that have taken up the role of gargoyle.
These people, in a sense are giving us the opportunity to practice forgiveness on a deeper level than we have done before.
Not just enduring, but taking the 40,000’ view and remembering that we’re just here for a little while.
It occurs to me that you’re message of ‘forgiveness’ is very apt on this Easter weekend

Because Celia thinks of others before herself, she has positioned herself for great blessing.
What a kind thing to say. Thank you Julia.
YES - I wholeheartedly agree!

Same.

That was beautiful. Yes may blessings, kindness and gratitude abound here on TTB! 💓🙏🏼
Although I just joined as a paid subscriber I think it’s great that was your decision for those who can’t afford to join. Thanks Celia!
Thank you. We are going to be ok. Growing at a slow pace, but keeping it intimate so we are all part of it. This is the aim.
Bravo Celia for your post and decision. We are all on the camino of life and with you.

Remembering your father's strength is a helpful way to change your perspective and make a negative a positive.

Love you, Celia!! Yes, "I think we can ward off dark entities together as a pueblo.".... we will be here to help manage the dark side. ❤️😘👼
