Nicely said. The things I never expected to find on Substack but highly value, are community and inspiration. The community is easy to understand. But the inspiration is more complex and subtle.

Thanks David, I find it so refreshing compared to other platforms, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I started off following genealogy and history based writers but I am surprised at how many diverse and different writers I now follow
