Still don't understand how people can still support Substack after they sent out a push notification promoting a racist blog on their platform... https://www.engadget.com/apps/substack-accidentally-sent-push-alerts-promoting-a-nazi-publication-191004115.html

I've mentioned this before, but my buddy wrote a book. I'm a fan of dystopian stories, where the characters are placed in a world much like our own, but catastrophe has struck and the characters must overcome obstacles to survive and thrive. "The Water Carriers" by Greg Greunke is that type of story... Love this story and can visualize the Apple TV adaptation already (Apple TV execs take note). If you're looking for a good read and you're into that type of story, check it out (FREE with your Kindle Unlimited account or just $2.99 for the ebook). When is the last time you could explore a unique world for less than a cup of Starbuck's Coffee? Here's a direct link: https://a.co/d/dNhwhUL

I must remind myself that my politics aren't my identity (or at least I don't want them to be). I realized this when I noticed that, with maybe a dozen exceptions, political is what I would describe as the identity of lots of the folks I follow through Mastodon. Just about everything they post is political or politically adjacent. This isn't who I want to be. It isn't healthy, and it isn't joyful. Baseball content, jokes, funny stories, pet pics, and outdoor photography bring me joy on Mastodon. Please don't be offended if I unfollow you (if that is what you tend to post). I wish you well, but I can't stomach another four years of regularly reading about the idiocy the next administration pulls. You can kid yourself into believing that "staying informed" is essential so you can prepare. Ask the condemned man wearing a hood waiting for the bullet if he wants to know the moment when the gun will fire.
