Substack reading has become an addiction especially when you dig deep into the reader’s’ comments. But unlike other more destructive habits, the price you pay is your time which could be spent doing all of the things required for living a normal life. It’s a dilemma for sure.
But Celia I want you to know just how much I enjoy reading yours. You always put your heart into everything you write.
Good for you, Celia. About a month ago I made the decision to seriously cut back on my Substack subscriptions, both paid and free. I realised after 2 odd years of "staying on top of" the covid debacle I had seriously neglected other areas of my life. So I was brutal about it, even culling people like Dr Malone and Steve Kirsch, hard as that was. Those I kept I can count on one hand, and you're one of them. Keep up the good work!
"I experience this place as the invention of a new form of “journalism,” which is emotion-based and symbiotic."
I've been wanting to share with you that this is PRECISELY my impression of what is happening at The Truth Barrier (such a great name), but haven't for whatever reason. I've been anti The News for a long time, but over the last couple of years with a visceral disgust I can barely express; there are simply no words. I've seen this site develop and felt/intuited that it's the new thing, the new way of doing news. Together. Someone of your talent and experience at the helm, but yes, as you say, like a symbiont. It is almost a miraculous birth to my eyes, with this delicate yet impervious strength to it, which is the kind of strength love emanates. That you are aware of this, are midwifing this here, is just so effen awesome (pardon my street London)!
Anyway, I'd contribute more financially, but Annette and I share a very low income between us. If that changes, I'll be happy to up my contribution.
Ah yes, on kittens. Firefly gave birth last Wednesday evening to one black-and-white and one blue-grey kitten. Names not decided yet, but we are all over the moon here at home. We are now a family of two parents, two daughters, one very large malamute wolf-dog, and now four cats, two of which have yet to open their eyes. A zoo, but a very happy zoo.
Anyway ... Go you, Celia! And I look forward to hearing about your new family member!
I know what you are doing is not easy, emotionally or financially. I appreciate what you do, though I sometimes do not have the time or emotional/mental bandwidth to engage. I sense that you have been to hell and back bc of how your excellent work was discredited and maligned. I hope you can breathe easier these days. Maybe knowing how many people recognize your value is helpful. Thank you.

As someone who has greatly enjoyed the honest, brave, heartfelt, insightful, and not beholden to mainstream/corporate interests writings of Celia, I hope more people will consider switching over to paid subscriptions. I’m a musician in the NYC area, and I’m very aware of how public support helps keep people like us able to continue to create and offer our unique writings, music, paintings etc.
Even as little as $5 a month makes a difference.
And no, I am not paid by Celia LOL I just believe in her work, and I know that every little bit helps 🌟☀️🙂
Celia, thank you for your post, I always look forward to seeing your comments. Rebel News, Truenorth and Epoch Times are just a few that are asking me to purchase a subscription. Nearing the age of 80, and on a fixed income, I must turn them down. When I am able, yours will be the first of the bunch that I subscribe to.

Substack is such a powerful force. I'm excited for you!

How about adding the 'Ko-Fi Buy me a coffee' option? I see it on a lot of other Substacks as an affordable alternative to the annual subscription.
Thanks for all you do!
God help those that speak the truth

Celia, you are a ray of sunshine in my life and many others. A friend for sure. :)
I look forward to reading every post of yours. Congratulations on your persistence!

The time for emotion based and symbiotic journalism is more than here! I think I'm already a paid subscriber? Can I help more?
I need to use substack more! By the time i finish a video though, I’m exhausted and drained, congrats though! Im proud of ya!

I read two people on Substack. Well, the other one is a free range super bunny, but I still count that.
