Hey #Spoutible ,
I need your help.
I'm hoping one of you 'more social media savvy' people might know what to do.
My friend, lets call her "Suzy" is a brave progressive who does great work online to oppose misinformation here in Australia.

Fantastic article re AI / writers / actors by writer Holden Sheppard.
Touches on the current strike.
Even if you just love books/film/etc it's well worth a read.

Happy 4th of July Spoutible!
Despite living 11,837 km (7,355 miles) south-east of the USA mainland, my workplace had a 4th of July Party.
If you haven't guessed, my team did Toy Story.
And yep, someone spent FAR too long building their Etch-a-Sketch. ;-)

Woah.
YESTERDAY - I saw 3 whales spouting simultaneously (they're migrating up the coast, here in Newcastle/Australia)
TODAY - I'm quoted by Mr Spoutible himself.

Hmm, anyone else having issues with uploading a videoclip to #Spoutible ?
The file is mp4 and 15mb (under the 20mb limit). I've tried multiple times on both PC and the #SpoutibleApp .
(Oh, and it's WHALES at my local beach; surely that's *priority* content here. ;-) )

I loved reading the recent #ThreadChallenge entries.
In fact, I'd like to highlight my #25MostLovedThreads
I'll include easy links to all, so you don't have to trawl through the original (huge) hashtag.
PS: I'm not involved in running the comp. I guess winners come out after the app is sorted.

Here in #Australia , we're having a public vote (referendum) on establishing an #indigenous Advisory Voice. A group to advise our parliament on laws that affect our first nations people. It has no veto powers.
Some people (guess which media empire) will tell any lie to stop it.
Brilliant article.

Time to share more #WritingTips with the awesome Spoutible #WritingCommunity .
As a memoir-writer working on a book set 30 years ago - this one really grabbed my attention.
PS: If you haven't The Writer mag before, it's excellent. My local library gets it in, perhaps yours does too?

Big #news in #Australia this morning.
Vapes (vapour-style cigarettes) have been causing huge problems in schools and reversing decades of progress in 'de-smoking' the community.
Now, they're to be mostly banned.
Great stuff.

Hello #Spoutible ,
Here's one to add to the FAQ section.
Q: Why does my timeline 'stop scrolling' after a while, when you've been scrolling down? Shouldn't it just keep going (till eventually you see the first Spouts you followed)?
FYI: This was on a PC, using Chrome.

With the influx of new users & some bad actors, I would like to politely suggest a tweak to the #Spoutible menu.
Benefits:
1. Users - new and old - get help faster.
2. A more welcoming feel when 'Help/Support' is always obvious.
3. If Spoutible's POD is support/safety, this demonstrates it.

I'm currently staying with a friend who cares for injured/orphaned possums. And I just got to feed one. 😊🎥
Just thought #Spoutible could do with some cuteness, whilst the USA is in such dark times.
I'm in rural New South Wales, about 7hrs north-west of Sydney.

Which is what you do when you're against something, but don't want to spell it out.
