I'm alive

I haven’t written anything here, on Substack, in a while. And normally, I wouldn’t write a quick, spur of the moment update like this.

But something’s been happening to me, every week, that convinced me to write on here again — new subscribers.

My subscriber count here is gradually going up.

I don’t post a lot of content online, but when I do I mention my site. I suppose what’s happening is people see a video or a post I did and end up here, raymondduke.com.

If that’s what happened with you, hello. Thanks for being here.

For those who’ve subscribed, I wanted to share the simple fact that I’m alive. Things are good for me and my family. I’m still in Penza, Russia, and I plan to be here until August.

One project I’ve been working on — in the shadows — is a Telegram channel. I’ve been using Telegram for a while, but finally decided to start a channel of my own after watching this interview with its founder, Pavel Durov.

The channel right now has dozens of posts and one follower, myself. The purpose of the channel is to express myself. It’s also nice to post privately. Eventually, I’ll open the channel up to the public and of course, share it here with you.
