New Broadcast, bitchessssssss.


Hey Reader,

I've spent 3 hours today, and many, many, many more this last week trying to go live.

Since Thursday I've attempted two platforms, and now I'm finalizing the third.

Don't worry, somehow I am not on blood pressure or anxiety medication, so I think I'm doing alright.

I also received my first troll, while seeking advice and support as to which platform people recommended for live painting (and live art). Just one asshole.

But, when I said I was leaving the platform, one person reached out to me right away. A poemist ? Poetry writer? She/He/They (I'm not sure), this person, Ceramic Milk on Substack they said I could share their site, which is amazing.

They connected with me and joined me Irish-side Discord Channel. I like to play music, and listen with people and chat. They told me Twitch is where I'm about to wander off to.

Then my friend Richard and I hadn't talked in a long while, so we chatted and I mentioned Twitch and he's like, "oh yeah, they just sent me $90." and he hasn't been active in ages. We decided to stream together sometimes.

So, I finally figured out the things I need, and I'm going to go live here. Now. Fucking finally. So I can paint.

If you want to come on Zoom later, let me know.

Byeeeee and sincerely,

Melissa McGuckin

WHAT I WANT TO SAY:

If you know anyone who may enjoy what i'm up to:

Please do consider sharing my links and continuing to be apart of whatever it is I do everyday to make people feel good, including me. And it's messy as fuck, sometimes.

and sad,

I don't mix well with shallow.

Or cruelty, quitters or liars.

And I don't want to be mean.

and funny,

video preview

beautiful, different, unique, strange, weird, and genuine.

And will absolutely fucking bite you, and peel your face off.

But... I am kind.

So,

welp (As said by one of the funniest people I've ever met, from her husband. ...lmao what am I going on about?)

Here we go,

omg I'm so scared.

hehehe.

Hey! Going live in an hour-ish over on IG. --> 1000 Layers IG. Unless, of course, I get distracted and wrangled into a fisticuffs with a mouse. It wouldn't be the first time... exactly. See ya there, perhaps! P.S. If there's a song I MUST hear tonight (yours or another's), let me know. The playlist is locked n' loaded but I have an hour-ish to change it up. And ICYMI, here's the Discord link for music. I have no idea if it'll play through IG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle,...

Hey, If you didn't read Friday's email yet, go do that. Especially if you don't run a newsletter and want to... or you do want to but "can't right now" (yes, I typed that in long, dramatic syllables). And if you did read it, and fall into either of those two camps, this little PSA if for you. Because you probably had one of three reactions: Ugh, I need this, and I want it but...money. Holidays. The economy. Ugh, I need this and I just can't because...*Insert reason here. Any reason. Don't...

Hey Reader, Last Saturday, while pondering what to write for my own newsletter, a thought hit me, smack in the middle of my kitchen, as they do: “Most of you don’t actually hate email. You hate thinking about email.” (... or confidently ignore it on your business wish list.) I can understand why: First, there's the strategy gap> Then the blank page triggers “what the hell do I write?” > and screaming through your blinking cursor, the “I shoulds” start compounding like interest you never...
