I dunno who needs to hear this, but here we go...
I've locked heads with plenty on this platform because they refuse to do this. Something which must be kept in mind, especially in this space.

Today’s job numbers came in higher than expected, with the U.S. adding 253,000 nonfarm jobs in April. Unemployment fell yet again, to 3.4%, matching a rate not seen since 1969.

I am a very unserious spouter but I get much of my "news" here now. Many of the "political" people are keeping us current on events.
A big THANK YOU to Pollitical, Organize, Resist, Pro-Democracy Spoutible!
This place is big enough for all of us. Plus almost everything is affected by politics.

Some are going to hate this spout.
Maybe you.
Politics are people.
And many people are under attack.
You lament "politics". What a luxury.
What a luxury to not be among the people under constant attack. For you, "politics" is nuisance.
For them it's life and death.

I'd love the ability to create lists. Because I follow a variety of people who spout about different topics, my timeline is too full and I miss a lot of great spouts. Lists would allow me to find journalists, gardeners, politicians, etc. separately so I can engage more.

Everyone recovered? Can I do a #SpoutibleBannedBookClub poll? It's time for book suggestions for May 2023, but since Handmaid's Tale was the 1st runner up twice, let me know if we should read it or something else (comment with other suggestions). I'll need ECHOES please (sorry for shouting). #SBBC

Please humor me as I explore my Cherry Blossom Fever. I can’t promise this is the last one but I will try to control myself. It was supposed to be a rainy day… but instead I got this.
