I would be remiss if I didn’t share my discussion about HOW NOT TO KILL YOURSELF: A PORTRAIT OF THE SUICIDAL MIND with acclaimed author Clancy Martin during #SuicidePreventionMonth . His powerful memoir depicts a mindset incomprehensible to many: the earnest contemplation & attempt of suicide.

Is there a feature to consolidate echoes? I see a lot of spouts echoed by multiple users. I don’t want to hide them because if a lot of people want to share that content, it’s probably worth seeing, but an “X, Y, and Z echoed…” sure would clean up the timeline while still enabling echoes.

Roxie’s legs are getting weaker as she ages (she’s 14), and the vet recommended these little shoe stickers that give her traction. Really helps her with secure footing. I was sure she’d hate them, but she actually seems to like them. We call them her #AirJordan shoes. #SeniorDog #DogsOfSpoutible

I've had three authors in the last month give me the same compliment after being on my show: that my interviews are substantive & really dive into the heart of the topic, directly addressing information in their books. This is the best possible compliment I could receive, and it makes me feel GREAT!

OK, so some of us adore the idea of addressing Spoutible users as “Speople.” But before we start, can we get an “Amen!” up in here? Or a series of fervent boos? I love “Speople.” Doesn’t have to be THE word for us…just A word. Like jam, jelly, and marmalade, there’s room for variety of nomenclature.
