I have been thinking about the chat feature Substack recently added to the mix. You need an iPhone to use the feature (for now). Tell me what you want to hear about in the future. No topic is off-limits.
In the future, I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app (messages are sent via the app, not email). Turn on push notifications so you don’t miss a chance to join the conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but chat is coming to the Android app soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I’ve already started my first chat thread, so come on over and say hello!
I got an anonymous vote for the latest right-wing attack on people trying to express who they are in Colorado. Expect an essay on that soon.
How can we preserve our Republic and Democracy? I recently listened to Rachel Maddow’s podcast ULTRA. We have been here before... does freedom mean we have to constantly battle potential overthrow? It seems more frightening today because of the hatred and vast array of weaponry.
