Great advice. I never posted anything on the cesspool that is X, and I deleted my account recently. I never go into FB or Insta. I got rid of TikTok. This is it for me. I appreciate this platform. And bonus, I can block trolls.
Thanks for that. I don’t post much because I am sick of the “we don’t want to hear what you think” comments in my own circle. Maybe time to say back “then go somewhere else”.
I never engaged with people on the other site since I didn't feel like I had anything new to say. I was a spectator and enjoyed reading other people's thoughts which provided a lot of inspiration to get involved offline.
I'm trying to engage on this site though. However, so far, I feel most comfortable being snarky and sharing memes. I'll eventually get more comfortable sharing more.
Funny you should talk about this as I am writing more and more, posts as well as some essay work covering personal issues that mimic our current political arena. There are some stories here. Thanks for another push.
I do what I can based on my bandwidth. Occasionally, I make long posts saying what I think. Most times I repost tweets/skeets or whatever they’re called here, I always re-post your work when seen. I do have a day job that takes 65 hours every other week. Sometimes I sleep.
Thanks, Jack. Turn 76 in 3 weeks and working for greater visibility. Tik Tok and a revolution to fight to save my lifetimes progress toward a better world.
Thank you for encouraging our friends,Jack. Courageous voices are needed now more than ever. Speak up and speak out against the fascist forces trying to crush our wills and steal our country.
My passion for things like safe and healthy healthcare systems, schools, equity for all humans, & for just wanting girls to go for a walk safely under the night sky, has been too much for some.

I'm speaking out! However, I think I need to slowly back away from the keyboards tonight. Klobuchar's post tonight took me so past the no more fucks to give moment. I probably need to calm down before I lose ppl.
It always makes a difference, even if only in you…the person focusing your thoughts long enough to write the post. If even one other person sees it and is inspired to write something of their own, your post may have inspired thousands of other posts and thoughts.
Jack, I followed you from “the other site” to Bluesky. I occasionally post my opinion but don’t get much of a response (so I don’t continue). I will take your advice and hope that my messages spill out somewhere! We definitely will need a united front going forward. 💪💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿
I agree, you're right. As an academic who taught in Hong Kong for 26 years, I want people to remember all of my friends, colleagues and students who have been imprisoned for their advocacy on behalf of democracy.

People seem to only be seeing the headline and not thinking about consequences .
I.e. TFG asking Canada and Mexico to shut down their borders.
What would that mean for Americans trying to leave the country ?
It would effectively box us in.
