I have a strong opinion about which of the two cuts of the film 'The Secret' is better (the original from 2006, with Esther Hicks' narration), but I have an even stronger opinion about whether or not anybody should watch 'The Secret.'
Which is a flat "No."

It's class warfare.

I’m a very private person. What I’m up to on any given day is just between me and like four thousand people on Mastodon.

Ok, serious(ish) technical/platform question:
1. Who is using (or has used) Ghost, and what do you think of it?
2. Is there anything you would recommend instead, and why?
Please boost for reach. Obviously, given that I'm [gestures towards entire history of posting], I am not considering substack.
