Hey, y’all! As promised, today I’m kicking off the Moral High Ground livechat! It’s like a group chat for our growing group of readers and subscribers — we hit 6,000 total today! Keep sharing! — where we can blab at each other once a week and during special events. (For instance, after the VP debate when I finish live-blogging at Wonkette, we’ll totally have a live-chat.)
I’m thinking right now we’ll do this on late-ish Wednesday afternoons and I’ll be in there for about an hour each time. (You’ll always get an announcement beforehand with the time, plus on the Substack app you’ll get a push-notification when it’s starting.)
This is the place where if you want to ask me stuff, or tell me stuff, I’ll start a thread, and you can do that. I’ll also be asking y’all for your input on things that are going on, trends you’re seeing, topics you think need covering, and so forth. And if I start a book club here — solid maybe, and I know exactly the book to start with — that’s where the chat will happen.
I’ll probably end up starting random threads when things happen in the news that people want to talk about, etc. Many possibilities!
NOTE: This feature is currently only for paid subscribers. The way it’ll work is I’ll start a thread and anybody can reply. Once this takes off, I’m looking at making it so paid subscribers can also start their own threads, which all subscribers will be able to reply to.
So, upgrade to paid or founding today! Besides, there might be a sale going on, you should check into that.
Oh wait, there IS a sale! It’s called the ELECTION INTEFERENCE SALE, so-named because Donald Trump thinks everything is election interference, so why not this? This newsletter is one of the places I’m working to interfere with the election by inspiring people to vote for Kamala Harris and against him, so that’s the name of the sale, and I’m stickin ‘ with it.
It’s 20% off forever, either $64 a year or $6.40 a month, which is basically the cost of buying me a nice iced coffee (the good kind, a large size) every month. Easy!
Once you’re square with that, if you already have the Substack app, use the button below to access the livechat.
Oh and if you missed today’s, don’t worry, again, we’re doing it every week plus special events. Tim Walz vs. JD Vance is Tuesday night! Figuring we’ll do an after-show reaction thingie here? Yes, let’s!
So go ahead and upgrade your subscription and get your app ready, etc., and I’ll see you there.
If you DON’T have the Substack app yet, follow these handy instructions I copy/pasted from Substack:
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
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.
We're going to need it, it looks like
