Someone called us the PBS of social media. I think that's an apt description.
"CounterSocial is made possible by users like you."
The lines are done now. I still think this looks weird. We'll see what happens as color is added. #CoSoArt

What’s Old Is New Again: Cold War Lessons for Countering Disinformation.

Experimenting with neurographic art. I don't know how it will turn out, but it supposedly won't just be scribbles.

I don't know how it's supposed to work, or anything. But maybe just not enough people would be willing to leave Jack's old thing for Jack's new thing. But maybe if you destroy the old thing, send people scattering, and then promise them they can all be brought back together by the new thing?
I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seriously thought it out. I don't know enough to be able to.
And there's all that stuff about Jack kind of guiding Musk through the whole thing, and Jack still having a good chunk of his shares...
And Jack is supposed to be working on Blue Sky, a supposedly all-in-one social media platform.
Part of me wonders if maybe Musk isn't supposed to destroy Twitter. Like, maybe Blue Sky wouldn't really have any chance as long as Twitter is what it has been.
And his reply had something to do with how Twitter would cut years - I want to say he said it would be something like 10 years - off of plans for "X", which is supposed to be some kind of all-in-one social media platform.
The guy asking was kind of like (paraphrasing), "I don't think it would cut THAT many years off, but you know what you're doing better than I do."
And then you look at how Jack says he only really trusts Musk to save things there.
#Twitter - This isn't any kind of seriously thought out thing, just some ideas that have been floating in my mind.
I think it was a few days before #ElonMusk carried the sink into the office... I saw one of his fanboys asking why he was even going to make changes to Twitter. Why not buy it, shut it down, and replace it with something he built because they were sure he could do better in less time?
For the first time ever, a trans man has been elected to a state legislature. Congratulations to James Roesener from New Hampshire. Representation is important, we need more LGBTQIA folks to enter into politics and chart a new path for this country. #queer #trans

In case you missed it, I did tell the pirate story with my new cards! And if you have a deck of playing cards nearby, you can grab them and follow along. And then you can tell the pirate story!
I definitely have a fever. Apparently, I think it's a good idea to read Alan Moore and Phil Hine when I have a fever. I read them when I don't have a fever, too, but this is...well, it's something.
Glad I'm ahead on my #NaNoWriMo writing. I can be sick for a few days and will still likely finish. I'm at 22,300+ words.
Finished filling in that doodle page from last night.
I'm trying to not make everything I draw have be a "thing". Just see where ink and paint take me when I open the space sometimes.

Both of my sisters-in-law have been sick since yesterday and tested positive for #covid today. Every time I've been exposed I've had a major seizure a week or two later. So we have to watch me this month.
I didn't know when things would be back up, and I still needed to get a Substack post out this week. The pirate story is now there.
If you have a deck of playing cards, don't just trust me on this! Grab your cards and follow the story!
My new deck of cards has arrived! I'll have to take pictures later and tell the pirate story. That story is how I always break in a new deck of playing cards, and I'll be happy to tell it to y'all for the first time. (People who know me from other platforms can probably tell the story themselves by now.)
Went ahead and ordered my Winner shirt for #NaNoWriMo . I probably will reach the 50k goal, but it's already a win for me even if I don't. This has been working me through some creative blocks and showing me where some of my limits are.

With everything this night has been, I'd like to say CoSo is the most comfortable platform I've ever gone through one of these nights on.
The support and respect for others here is just... 💜 #CoSoRocks
