Romance authors are calling spoutible a bust. I know it had sounded promising, but this TOS is crazy. I’ve not tried an alternate Twitter account yet. Anyone else come up against this?

It's also a really great example of how hard it is to moderate social media. Clear explicit language and examples are needed to ensure transparency and consistent application. It takes lots of people to do it, which I'm sure is why the language is vague. That way a handful of moderators can make personal judgment calls and can't really be questioned.

Ehhhh, I've been following it closely since last night on spoutible and there is a lot of audacity and caucasity happening. The TOS states no adult content or sexually explicit material. It's vague in the way legal documents are vague but a small group of folks went kind of nuts about how are they going to promote their work and dragged the LGBTQIA+ community and Black women into it. And the Black women on Spoutible sounded off about that because it was very WWWB. A lot of good points were made about how this is the same content standard on all of the other SM platforms and they didn't brigade all the white CEOs. Just food for thought. I wouldn't give up on spoutible yet.

This is a really interesting article about the link between credit scores/medical debt/Medicaid expansion.

Yikes that's in my general area so I'm surprised I haven't seen more about it. I hope everyone is okay. The pictures I saw from the local paper are scary.

MTG is really pissed about Biden being in Ukraine. Makes the visit even better! The hate for this trip has reached Ohio. Mayor of East Palestine Ohio spoke yesterday about how Biden doesn’t care about the citizens because he is in Ukraine and not here and that shows what type of man he is Umm How about Dewine turning down his help 🤷♀️🤷♀️

More details on the trip to Kyiv. What an experience that must have been for the press that accompanied- the most boring, dangerous thing. Would watch an entire movie about this event.

Watching the whole thing go down felt like a bunch of people telling a black creator to know his role. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's going to snow 2 feet here and my kids' district just called three days of school off in advance. That never happens. Coming off a long holiday weekend together, it's a lot of togetherness. Pray for me.

this is what I was saying last week or the week before (?) All the testing was being done by NS, its the must bias testing. The EPA is playing second fiddle. And with Dewine shrugging off federal help. So many red flags for a cover up. The rail company *should* be paying for the testing. It’s very common for contractors to be hired to do the sampling and send the samples to a lab for testing. EPA should be doing due diligence and making sure the samples are collected and tested properly. Which they ultimately did. The fuck up IMO is DeWine declaring the water safe before the results and due diligence were complete. Although independent testing verified this is the case, and testing is ongoing. This is my wheelhouse so I’m not defending anyone, just trying to explain the process. I also think the chaos in the intermediate aftermath of the crash has led to some miscommunication and sloppiness, but that’s all being followed up on as the article says.

Pray for me. I don't understand weather predictions sometimes. Every article I read says we are getting like 22 inches but my weather app (weather channel) says a max of maybe 8 over the 3 days. So which is it? I want it to be the latter. But yeah, I did a target pick up order just to make sure we are stocked on snacks and stuff and it took 5 hours for them to fulfill it (I've never had it take more than an hour before) and my H is there waiting right now for the pick up and he's already been waiting 20 min and he said the lot is packed with no one moving. So. Fun times.
