thread 2 Threaded Spouts
Update 12 is live!
Spoutible doesn´t have an algorithm. You create and curate your own timeline by following other accounts. - use „search Spoutible“ to enter key words (e.g. journalist) or interests (e.g. cooking) to find people you want to follow or share interests with. - use the „Explore“ feature to look for spouts, accounts or splash- tags (= hashtags). A separate tab features verified accounts. - browse through the follower lists of accounts that interest you to find further followings. As there is no algorithm, it is the users who amplify contents. Please use the following tools generously: - „echo“ to copy a spout for your followers to see, - „quote spout“ to add your own thoughts and copy it into the general feed (“explore“). A meaningful (!!!) bio in your profile makes it easier for others to connect with you. Some key words would be great (but of course your decision).

A platform without a block button is like a car without brakes; it makes no sense. So many marginalized people are about to be targeted, harassed, and abused on Twitter, and it makes me angry.

Reporters and pundits need to retire the phrase "voting wars." Expanding voting access is not partaking in a "war." The only war is the one *against* democracy by Republicans and their allies. This is not a "both sides" story, so please do not suggest it is.

Wrote another newsletter with another watery beach read recommendation - and some thoughts on writing habits! #amreading #memoir #amwriting The link: https://open.substack.com/...
A book titled a flat place: a memoir, by Noreen Masud, lounges in a stripy bookchair. A circular “signed by the author” obscures part of the title at the top right-hand corner. The cover is mostly blank, with a flat landscape along the bottom third, through which snakes an empty road. In the background is a wooden bookcase groaning with books.

My response to some "conversations" in bird-land today

1. The right is banning books, not the left. Disliking a book is not banning it. Stop saying it is.

2. We're a democratic republic; our Constitution creates a democratic gov't. Saying "WE'RE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC" doesn't negate that fact.

Norfolk Southern, the company whose train derailed in Ohio and unleashed chemicals, made a record $12 billion in revenue last year.

Instead of investing in better safety measures, what did the company do? It authorized a $10 billion stock buyback.

Corporate greed, folks.

I write sci-fi and fantasy! Here's the newest book:

“When space poachers release Earth animals on an alien world, threatening a fragile new alliance, they anger the wrong people. A veterinarian, an accountant, and a furious sign-language-fluent gorilla are coming for them.”
The cover of the sci-fi book “A Swift Kick to the Thorax,” featuring a veterinarian’s prescription pad floating in space with a chunk bitten out of it. The title sits in the prescription area as if a swift kick is what’s being prescribed.
