Don't Bother Reading's avatar

Hi Reads@Substack!

I have a comedic column that might interest yr reviewers!

It's called "Don't Bother Reading." (https://randomopinions.substack.com/)

Please have a look at just one short column,and, if my writing inflicts the yuks, yips, guffaws, or synonymal & correlated, allied, affiliated, accompanying, concomitant, corresponding, analogous or in any way kindred afflictions, including but not limited to the chuckles, chortles, giggles, hee-haws

smirks, snickers, sniggers, snickersnees, or the yibyabs (OK, I made that one up!), or makes Pepsi come out of your nose….or makes you cry-laugh…. or think pleasant thoughts like when you (INSERT A PLEASANT THOUGHT HERE), then please consider telling other Substackers to Don’t Bother Reading.

I’m not asking for any money, but I am needy.

And, besides, the way things are going, we need to spread laughs, not COVID.

Thanks so much for featuring me – and in such good company, too!

Colin, this post was brilliant…so many new creative Substacks for me to try. Thanks!

So glad you included something by Hiroko Yoda (a different article to the one I recommended, meaning you put in the time to explore her content)!

Btw, I compiled a list, including Hiroko, of the best Substacks on Japan in 2024 in case you -- or anyone else -- is interested in more great stuff (which the inept Search function will never show you!) https://thekyote.substack.com/p/best-substack-writers-on-japan

Thanks again!

PS: Gotta love a band with an accordion and a slide guitar!

Just after I had scanned this and noticed a band I’d never heard of — The Decemberists and @colinmeloy — who shows up on Saturday Sessions on CBS Saturday Morning but, you guessed it. Guess what I’m downloading!

God loves us all so much. How are you doing today? This is the day the Lord has made so rejoice and be glad! This is your day too to be glad in Him who created you. This is our day as a kingdom of God. We are his children, his people, his holy temple. And he loves us so much.
