Haven't been here since February, but looks like some more of the peeps I followed on twitter have arrived.
Still not sure how much of a closed bubble this is. Was not happy with the way they came down on romancelandia, for ex.
Need to see more media types.

Judging by my twitter account, it appears Spoutible has burned its bridges with regard to #Romancelandia . Not sure how this started, but I see how it's ending: Thousands of clever, intelligent and thoughtful writers will not be coming here and are trying to delete their accounts if they registered.

Until today, this was my new fave social media platform. I don't think you realize how much of a problem this is going to be. There are 1,000s of romance writers. Most who dipped a toe in here are dipping back out. I'll hang for now, but if the peeps I follow are gone, I will be, too.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyNo, but @courtneymilan is more than welcome to start a social media platform and write the terms of service and policies however she likes. But the policy isn't changing, nor is it being rewritten. Spoutible will not please everyone, but thankfully there are other options for those who aren't happy.05:49 PM - Feb 19, 2023

At this point, it looks very much like romance authors are not going to be coming here because one has been banned, probably because a cover was too sexy, and if they're lost, a lot of women have been lost.
Me, I'm rethinking my participation here.

Saying it now: Jimmy Carter is the ultimate model of an ex-president who used his time after office to be of service to others.

I have a couple of "Elon Musks" cropping up in my "suggested follows." Is there a way to designate that they are real, fake, parodies, verified, whatever?
This one, in particular, doesn't give much clue in the profile: Elon_Musk. Others are obvious.

Portia McGonagal @PortiaMcGonagalThis is the same garbage they've been pushing since Reagan. They want everyone to invest privately in the stock market and when the bottom falls out, oops..should have picked better.

Ted Cruz makes me hurl, but TBF, he tweeted this half an hour ago:
"Heidi & I are lifting John up in prayer. Mental illness is real & serious, and I hope that he gets the care he needs.Regardless of which side of the political aisle you’re on, please respect his family’s request for privacy.

Jeff Tiedrich @jefftiedrichholy fucking shit, all the people who demanded that we respect Ted Cruz's privacy when his family was going through a tough time, watch them now pissing themselves with glee over Senator Fetterman. fucking barrel-bottom ghouls02:59 PM - Feb 16, 2023

Same here. By no means an expert or even clued in on mental health issues, but I can't imagine 5-hour weekend commuting DC/PA is helpful for anyone in the fam. Realize kids have school, Giselle has her thing & dogs need room, but...IDK, maybe 2nd home would help, Funds permitting?

Rep. Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorresI admire Senator John Fetterman for openly seeking treatment for depression at Walter Reed.03:53 PM - Feb 16, 2023
Back in 2010, I was hospitalized for depression. I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.
Millions of Americans are rooting for you, Senator.

I've got 62° here on the east coast in mid-February.. People walking around in t-shirts, sweatshirts, denim jackets. A few years ago I'd have been shoveling 2 feet of snow off my car.
(Not that I want to jinx it or anything.)
A few years more and I won't even think about FL.

there's an environmental disaster in Ohio right now and Jim Jordan is ignoring his constituents because he's too busy trying to see Hunter Biden's dick. Ohio deserves better than this degenerate creep

I. AM. RUNNING.
You heard it here first! I am officially launching my campaign to unseat Lauren Boebert and restore dignity to #CO03 representation.
We lost by a mere 546 votes in '22 — the closest race in the country — and know we can make that up in '24.

History of America's treatment of Black people
1619-1865: Enslavement
1865-1965: Jim Crow, Red lining, lynching, & no reparations
1965-2020: Mass incarceration, war on drugs, & still no reparations
2021-Now: What slavery? What systemic racism? It's a felony to read such books
