Glad to see you here. I'm here too.

Substack has it's own issues (look up "nazi substack"), but at least seems to be somewhat trying, which is more than we can say for Zuck right now.

What the fuck happened to that guy?

It's called "billions." Money is not an electromagnetic phenomenon, but too much of it still creates its own reality distortion field. Which warps the rest of the universe where the rest of us live.

Hey Paul! I'm reading your post tonight after you commented on mine. Remember when we were back there together, on the cutting edge of folk music artists selling music online? I'm still grateful that you told me I should get "JanaStanfield.com" right away, which you probably then told me how to do. You have been a bright light of wisdom in my life, and I'm glad to be connected, blazing another trail together here on Substack. Any free advice you want to give to a newbie...I'd welcome.

Hey Jana! If it’s night time in Bali it must be like 8:30 AM here on the outskirts of Twangtown. I’d forgotten I recommended you get your name/domain. I do remember doing the same for ‘bluebirdcafe.com” which they are still using, and Amy Kurland remains a good friend. I started dedicating time/effort to Substack as I pulled the plug on all my ‘social’ media starting Trump 2.0 Inauguration Day. So far it’s proven to be a good move. There is something creatively liberating about the platform though I, too, and still mastering its User Interface. The best advice I can think to offer at this stage is to interact freely with people who seem interesting - you know, the usual stuff, “Like” and “Comment.” Post articles to your ‘Stack’ and also relay them as “Notes” (those seem to be the two primary functions to figure out, “Post” -v “Notes). And I ‘follow’ a lot more than I subscribe to. Great to hear from you.
