Tonight, I’m hosting the first ever Civil Discourse live chat so that we can watch the presidential debate together. Paid subscribers will be able to log on and chat with me and other Civil Discourse community members when the debate gets started. We’ll be joined by some of my special friends as well!
There are a couple of ways to find the chat:
You can go to substack.com/home online, click on the “chat” icon on the left side of the page, and then click on Civil Discourse.
You can go into the Substack App (download here if you don’t already have it, or in the App Store). Once you have the App, the link to chat is the two word bubbles on the bottom of the screen. Click on them and you’ll see the Civil Discourse chat, which you can click on to enter.
Since you have to be a paid subscriber to join the chat, make sure you’re signed in using the correct email address for your account.
I think you can also click on the image below and get there, although you may need to refresh your screen once you’re there. This is all still a little new to me, so I’ll be learning with you as we chat.
There are already people warming up the chat—so far, I’ve scored a great recipe for debate popcorn and the link to the League of Women Voters bingo card for tonight. Bingo cards. How cool is the League of Women Voters?
For those of you who need a little stress relief today, I offer chickens eating salad for breakfast.
If you aren’t already a paid subscriber, you can still upgrade your subscription using the button below. In addition to joining the chat, you’ll get our Friday night “Five Questions With” features and the joy of knowing you’re supporting Civil Discourse.
Any questions about the chat or trouble finding it? Let me know in the comments. If you download the Substack App, you’ll receive a push notification to join, which makes it that much easier.
We’re in this together,
Joyce
I don’t see “incoherent ramblings” on the bingo card. It may be unwinnable.
Laughing. Just before your post arrived, Joyce Vance, I got a note from a (retired) friend who is not watching any TV today because she's so anxious. I was until I watched/heard the chickens. I think I'll play that on repeat all day AND tonight, if the orange menace (the kindest phrase I call him; others involve Yiddish my parents (z"l) said to never use in public) says too much, I'll just turn the chickens on. Thanks for doing this tonight.
