It may seem like commenting on world issues is futile; like trying to bail out the ocean with a teacup. My mom used to say that when describing an overwhelming task.
Still, I do enjoy sharing ideas so at least it's therapeutic and could be helpful.
I am starting to learn a new platform called Substack. At first, it seemed like just redundant to my blog with little momentum of audience, for me at least. Like reinventing an already existing wheel, but I have found a feature that my blog doesn't have. Substack Notes.
The reason why it's different is that it links to articles in other media, like Facebook does. It provides a thumbnail image from the media source similar to Facebook, but can be seen on the open web.
Facebook is still more of a "membership only" platform, yet it has the momentum of interaction that's lacking on other platforms, unless one is a celebrity.
If one is not a celebrity, for instance, having your own thing like Truth Social isn't likely. That's Trump's bully pulpit. Yes, most of you will groan. Mediocrity does seem to rise to the top.
As for fame and fortune, I sometimes am a bit envious of folks who are being chased by reporters with microphones and cameras.
Still, it's good to have more privacy; the privacy of being a nobody. These things are always tradeoffs.
My Substack Notes works well for linking to articles in other media with my own introductions. I just started it today. By the way, it happens to be Earth Day 2026.
My website is a repository for my own writing and photography.
Sorry. Your eyes are probably glossed over by now.
