What I have learned so far on my experiment. It’s a platform that’s very simple, but the whole follower aspect is very frightening. Substack friends, be patient —changing profile photos and names ;(
Mary, thanks for the reminder. I had planned before all of this terrible election crisis to do a list of writers, not just political experts. I will get to it eventually. I just re-read the story of your son’s passing. It really touches everyone grieving the loss of a loved one. I’ll repost it now separately. Forgive me for focusing on politics only. We are in dire need of fighting the battle.
I'm currently switching from Threads to Bluesky. I only want one of those and Bluesky seems to be where it's at right now. I share links to Rogan's List there now. I've only been at it a few days and am still learning myself. How did you find the starter packs?
Thank you
I have opened a Bluesky account, only to follow
some newsy folks.
Check my safe list.https://bsky.app/profile/dianek24.bsky.social
I love all of these--but am hoping I can make your list as writer of fiction and memoir--though every now and then an essay that relates to politics as this one: https://marytabor.substack.com/p/time-for-the-united-states-to-do and some on Inner Life and then this most heartfelt essay: https://marytabor.substack.com/p/lifeboat
But let me be super clear: I am with you for the fight for democracy that appears now to be possibly lost or at the very least in serious danger. 💞

Scroll over on the profile section settings.
I saw you💕
Interesting timing for your post. I've been thinking seriously about limiting my social media about politics to preserve my mental health.
I think that cleansing one's online info would not make one any safer
Google knows everything and could serve as a reference for any predator desiring to harm someone.
I believe it would be best to keep lines of communication open for mutual support.
Strategies
should include actual word of mouth contacts and perhaps a list of a couple of people whom you contact every day.
Good advice, Malcolm. Thanks! Life was simpler once!
Thanks, David! I was thinking more of “rebellion” than “opposition” or “resistance”😂. We need to civilly rebel any way we can to Trump2.
Any of the three that seems appropriate at the time.
Indeed! We need an under the radar approach
