New Substack Features!

Chat, Notes, app, and more

As I work to bring this publication to the next level, I have found several features that I hope to find useful, and I hope you will find informative.

First is Notes. As far as I can tell, Notes is like a mini-Twitter right here on Substack. I will be using Notes to post short snippets that aren’t worth an entire article. Click here to go to Notes, or click the link at the top of the page.

Next is Chat. This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.

To join the chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.

Use the app to keep updated on Notes, participate in Chat, and even follow the other Substack newsletters you’ve subscribe to. Very convenient!

Next, make sure to follow me wherever else you are on the web. Find Gem State Substack on YouTube and Rumble, and find me personally on Twitter, Gab, Gettr, and Truth. (Though, truth be told, I don’t check the latter two very often.)

Stay tuned for more news and scoops —I’m reading through some interesting administrative rule changes as I write this. But first, I have a special message for subscribers:
