Y'all I am soooo overwhelmed rn.

I'll be live tonight at 8pm eastern 5 pacific talking about safe, effective protests and what comes next. I'll be on FB (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YouTube (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus) #politics #trump #activism #live #watchandlearn

Sneaking this out now to you folks here and on my FB page and Patreon. This is the root page, which contains the whole enchilada as it stands right now. A little more to do before I start making things official and noisy, probably tomorrow or Thursday - I've got some other work to do including a shift at the day job tomorrow and a poster for the upcoming screening of Weird Science.

Anyway, here it is. You'll see a bunch of this coming out in bits and pieces via social media - substack, pb, youtube, here, medium, mastodon, threads, insta, etc - over the next week-ish, there's at least 40 different posts to be made including like 60 different videos and twenty memes and so on. I'll explain more in the "Intermission" post that will also more officially "launch" the whole thing in the next day or so.

Watch And Learn: A Revolution - JohnHenry.US [BETA]

Live tonight at 8pm e/5 p. Probably going to be short, I want to update everyone on Watch and Learn, check in and say thanks and hello. Find it on FB (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YT (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus) #politics #trump #activism #live #watchandlearn

Gonna do the live thing in a couple of hours, 8pm eastern 5 pacific. We'll talk about the last week, including the big project I'm working on to Fix Everything And Save The World, as well as some lighter stuff from my world over the last week or so, including getting to meet actress Caroline Williams, who loved my poster of her for the Paracinema screening of Leprechaun 3. I've got the Q&A of that recorded but it'll likely be a bit before I get it ready to upload - needs to be stabilized, probably some audio tweaking.

Anyway yeah. 8 eastern, 5 pacific, on my Facebook page (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YouTube (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus)

Please don't think for a minute I've forgotten about this. Something really huge and really important came up that needs to be finished, which y'all will be hearing about soon. Hang in there.

We are their prisoners.

Please do let me know what you think of the tools, ease of use, etc. Obviously not much here now, and I'm going to work on a user guide RSN to get some basics out to people, but generally I'd just love to know how you're finding the place, if it seems like it's a reasonable substitute for Facebook (other than having a billion fewer users) etc.

Live tonight at 8pm eastern/5 pacific @ FB (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YouTube (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus) discussing the latest madness, ways you can keep your head and avoid having your anger weaponized against you. #evolution #disinformation #politics

Admit it, #elonmusk. You don't have the guts. #muskfearsstewart

Got my tax return a couple of days ago and my paycheck today, so I've been able to invest in some pretty cool stuff both personally and professionally - finally, a mattress! Pillows! New shoes! Also a new video card that will be going into a new hand-me-down computer, lots of other cool stuff.

So that's nice.

This particular site, I've not been focused on yet (and knew I wouldn't be, which is why I said it's likely to be a couple of months before I even start telling people beyond my private spaces about it. I need to kind of get everything configured and nailed down here, get proper branding in place and get my autograph out of the header, and make sure this thing is a social network site and not just another John Henry site.

Looking for some cool stuff content-wise soon and hopefully a bit of income to help elevate and escalate my own visibility. The engine for this site has some significantly useful add-on features that cost money to by and implement, like different reaction styles and even video streaming. Plugins range from 15 or 20 to 100+ per year, depending on the functionality. For instance there's one that provides login and account creation ability using data from other sites like facebook, google, and X without having to spend six months standing on my head working to develop and get clearance and authorizations for my own custom apps to hand that stuff. There's a plugin that will let me deplay a mobile version of the site in its own app. Etc.

I haven't decided how to handle that fundraising yet; this platform has the ability to offer paid subscription access and then make various features only available to paid subscribers; that will likely feature heavily in the beta-phase fundraising and development process. Obviously the only folks seeing this now are going to be prior supporters anyway, and I'll figure out a way to "grandfather" you into this stuff as it develops.

That's what's up for now :)

I'll be live tonight at (8pm eastern/5 pacific) on my Facebook page (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YouTube (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus) Today's subject is why you NEED to understand that federal #taxes don't fund federal spending. Plus whatever else pops out of my face!

Here's a great big update about a whole bunch of things. This is for public consumption; I'm going to post extensively about this platform to "members only" in the next day or two. https://www.patreon.com/posts/big-old-long-of-122885585?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

There, that's better. We should be back in order now.

I'll be live in about an hour (8pm eastern/5 pacific) on my Facebook page (https://fb.me/johnhenryus), YouTube (https://youtube.com/johnhenryus) and Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/johnhenryus) Talking: current state of things; new approaches to mass public action; disinformation related to activist events, and much more.
