I just read a spout which mentioned Taylor Swift and Liz Cheney being the women who may save Democracy. I understand the premise behind this, but I can't help but think of the women actually doing the work..

Tomorrow, we will release an update that will include the domain of a news article so there isn't any confusion about the source.

Essential thread. Fellow white folks: read, bookmark, reread many times.
My Flying Car 2020 @Flying2020She can't say what every black women are thinking - racism creates doubts about her competence. We're supposed to pretend the racism doesn't bother us and never give it air or light, lest "colorblind" white people accuse you of "playing the race card." If she did, she and Joe are OUT. 🧵02:46 PM - Sep 10, 2023

For our first #CosyMysteryBookClub , here's a book that we can read and discuss. We'll discuss this on the 6th of August. I figured about 3 weeks would be enough time to allow anyone who wants to join the discussion to read the book in between other things in life (ie work, hobbies, kids, etc).

#SPOUTANS , especially the #BookwormsOfSpoutible , Well here's the new account for the Cosy Mystery Book Club. This is the venue where we will discuss our first book discussion.

This question was answered back in the '90s by Queen Latifah and Yvette Lee Bowser---"What would a world without men even be like?"
"A world full of FAT, HAPPY WOMEN AND NO CRIME!!" 🤣😂

Kristen Browning @kjbrowningEvery so often a question goes viral - “what would you do if there were no men?” - and one of the most common answers from women is “go for a walk by myself”.12:18 AM - Jul 06, 2023
I just want to take a relaxed walk alone at night or to enjoy the peaceful quiet of a forest without feeling constantly on guard.

I know there is a lot going on, but when multi-billionaires like Zuckerberg, Musk, and Bezos control our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

Activism is a process. Sometimes folx need encouragement to move from bitching about current conditions to doing ONE ACTIVE POSITIVE THING. Because once you do that thing and see others do it, too, you realize "I'm not alone!" And you are likely to do more.

I belong to at least 5 private groups on FB, nearly all of them run & peopled by women, that organized petition drives in all OH counties. Some of them started as pro-Hillary groups that morphed into Trump resistance groups after 2016. Some organized in support of candidates in the 2018 midterms.

Activism, a thread
The OH victory of 700K+ signatures to get Reproductive Rights enshrined in our Constitution didn't come out of nowhere. Lots of Democratic Ward Clubs, Planned Parenthood, & other long-standing nonprofits organized like hell.
But there is more. Social media helped. A bunch.

Wokeity Woke Woke @Bethbo_bethThreads vs twddr is a false competition to drum up free publicity for both. Spoutible is where the true trendsetters and cultural icons will settle. Chase the threads and birds, I’ll sail along with whales, thanks.12:29 AM - Jul 06, 2023

Not just millionaire jerks. Millionaire jerks who have already sold your data down the river and back again 5000 times. Millionaire jerks who helped steal an election. SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARN.

Kristine Erickson @Kristhefig88This is so true. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't usually walk alone, parks within (hopefully) a safe distance from a store, checks my surroundings regularly, checks my backseat, etc, etc. We all have to do it. We learn it young from experiences like this.11:39 PM - Jul 05, 2023

Nicole @GatorSkinSoulHow many of us women have been followed, maybe more than once, just going about normal activities?
She isn’t exaggerating or overreacting. This is what women go through.

Help! I get through about 5 stories on my feed, and then they just keep repeating as I scroll down. This has been happening for 2 or 3 days now. Is there something I can do to fix it on my end?

Jade Walker @jadewalkerSarah Merker said her favorite part of writing her blog, National Trust Scones, was that it gave her an excuse to visit beautiful places and drive along winding country roads.

I am not opposed to some algorithm, as long as we can turn it off and on. It does clear up some of the clutter!

The last time I got a new #tarot deck #Spoutible was maybe a few days old, and I had fun pulling cards for some new friends that night.
Fittingly, a new deck arrived this afternoon. Would anyone like to help me break it in by having a card pulled?
Drop a reply and I will do a few.

I’m not saying you can’t own a gun in the privacy of your own home, or that you shouldn’t exist if you own a gun, but as a business owner, I don’t want to serve people who carry guns in public because I have a sincerely held religious belief that...

Feel free to disagree, but I think it might be an idea, while Spoutible is in its infancy, to have your hobbies, interests, job sector etc in your profile bio rather than just the funny bits (that I know we all like). Just so we know who to connect with at first, y'know?

In response to Tanya D..
Today I invited one of my favorite Twitter accounts with a big following, and she said she had tried Spoutible a while ago and been attacked so was trying something else instead. That is not the way to build momentum. Super disappointing to hear.
