Received an email from Substack today…welp…a couple hundred more actually.
I see a lot of the comments, replies and get a lot of direct emails…
And, if you’ve tried to reach me by email, you already know that I am fucking terrible at my email game. Somehow…after trying to get through around 300 emails per day, my inbox has swelled to almost 14k - unread/unopened emails.
And that’s kind of tragic…for this, you have my most humbled apologizes.
When I started this, I just wanted a place to preserve my content and statistics for easy reference…because some social media sites were deleting it as fast as I could post it and throttling it once my daily impressions busted the 20k per day…Hey, Elon…how you making out on my ban, dude?
Anyways…
Like any other typical narcissistic sucker…when somebody emails me a Congratulations, I feel inclined to open it up…and in one of the the emails today from Substack, I got this:
“You’re a Substack Bestseller - Sheldon Yakiwchuk Congratulations”, was the email header.
And I’m not gunna lie…it’s a proud moment.
I mean…it’s not like I’ll soon be retiring off of my subscriptions and having donated a lot of my time, gas, funds to supporting our community, so much so that there’s barely enough left over for hooker (singular) and blow.

But you see…if everybody else’s involvement wasn’t a part of this…I probably wouldn’t be either.
I could only laugh at my own jokes so many times before this would have gotten old…and, I’d have probably moved on.
Thing is…inside of a community, we have some amazing conversations - through the comments and email feedback…and this lends itself to my continued curiosity, when comes to digging into this stuff. It really does help me keep committed, knowing that you all are out there and are not only talking about what I post, but also sharing it to help grow our community.
Over the next couple of days, I will be posting on the close of OUR Veterans Food Bank donations and hamper efforts and while I realize that I’m kind of behind on this schedule, have seem some of the preliminary numbers, plus what others have donated inside of their communities…and I think you’ll be impressed what we were able to do…together!
What is also good is that ‘WE’ have reached out and I believe that we’ve had an impact on this gong show that we’ve all lived through over the last few years. If it wasn’t for people like me writing content and people like you sharing it…we’d all be locked down in masks, some of us not permitted to travel and sit in public anymore.
Yeah…just like last year at this time.
You remember…
Anyways…Just wanted to reach out and thank you for all the support and to let you know that we’ve hit the big leagues, baby!
&
Once I get caught up to a few things…we move on to a Bestseller in the book stores…or on Amazon, or Kindle…or something.
Congratulations to YOU for helping this be a Substack Bestseller!
Have a great night, all!
It’s truly been a pleasure chatting with all of you and being a part of your community!
While I don’t comment on every thread, every email is read and filed away. I first met Sheldon on LinkedIn last year and substacked him just before I was booted off that platform for questioning the Covid message. I love this community and its passionate devotion to truth and accountability. Congratulations to Sheldon for his unrelenting dedication for shining lights in dark places. We will be on the right side of history.
Congratulations Sheldon. You deserve. You are absolutely nailing it! I read everything you post and these SOB's are going to get what they deserve at some point. I have been sending lots of stuff to Dainelle and hoping that she will stay true to her words.
