50 Shades of Gravy: 2 Year Anniversary of Time2Thrive
Thanks, Readers! And Now: Time to Go Feral.
Wow. Two years.
Time for the gloves to come off. There’s no reason to hold back now.
A Thank-You to My Glorious, Brave, Possibly Confused Subscribers
Dear magnificent subscribers, human or otherwise —THANK YOU.
Seriously. Thank you, the way a hungry pug thanks the human who foolishly left their sandwich on the arm of the couch while they went for a bathroom break, as if that sandwich was still going to be there when they got back. Foolish human!
I don’t know why you’re here, but I’m unreasonably thrilled that you are. You could be out living your life, touching yourself, or losing a game of Yahtzee. But instead, you’re reading the crazy posts of a person who once ate three meals in an hour and lived to tell the tale. What a time to be alive.
And the original subscribers, those I dragged in here without telling you what was coming? You signed up for this short-bus adventure while I was still licking windows. For that, I offer my deepest gratitude and a helmet.
To the new subscribers:
WELCOME TO WHATEVER THIS IS.
There’s no turning back now. You’re stuck with me, my enthusiasm, my typos, my questionable jokes, and my strangely feral community: people who want to improve their lives while laughing at the absurdity of an existence that includes professional clowns as entertainers AND as politicians.
So. Thank you.
Your presence here transforms my leaps of weird creativity into a shared journey. A weird, wobbly, “are we really doing this?” sort of journey, but a journey in a short bus nonetheless.
I’m grateful for you.
I’m rooting for you.
And I promise to keep delivering the kind of content that makes you wonder whether you should laugh, nod, cry, or call a licensed professional.
Let the chaos continue.
A special reward for my readers.
You HAVE to go see what is behind this button! A must-click, Can Not Miss experience that you will be so happy you experienced, but if you don’t click it, for the rest of your life you will wonder, “what the heck did I miss? I will forever be sad that I did not click the button. Arrrgggghh!!!”
So yeah, you better click it.
Special thanks to fellow Substackers

Great having you here Tim! Always love your humor and meme lordship.
Congrats on sticking it out for 20 years...I mean 2 years 😆. Substack is a grind that is for sure. But it is the ones that you have made a connection with that make it worthwhile. Thank you for keeping it real and for the connection.
