The Secret Substack Society of Supportive People Conversing Kindly and Politely with Occasional Cross-talk and Commiseration Weekly Zoom Group*

Or: more commonly referred to as S4PCKPOCCWZ Group *addiction, ADHD, trauma, left-handedness, ND, Depression, you know, the Just Fine stuff

So.

We will obviously have to figure a way…

To cross time zones

Communicate via secret electronic non-binary handshakes

share a zoom link

in a subscribers Chat

Anyone know how to start that? as a separate thing even if it were under my umbrella

anyone know more than clicking the blue link to do the zoom zoom knowledge

I have 3 interested parties (they, hopefully, know who they are, but regardless, I have their names written on a blue post-it note, currently beneath my reading glasses, next to my stone cold coffee, on my computer table… so, like SAFE)

oh the rules (so far)

((and just like the rehab that started without any and by the time I got there had pages, we can add as we go))

1. Be nice and kind

2. If not following #1 we will secretly exclude you from future gatherings (but not ghosting you, that’s rude, we will tell you)

3. Even though #2 seems ironclad we must be aware that people come from different experiences and so what seems to break #1 to one might not be for another. If this occurs it will be a wonderful opportunity to educate everyone on different points of view, and this wondrous opportunity will probably easily distinguish the spiritual followers of Rule #1 and the fakers.

That’s it. Just like Asimov.

Best
