It took many attempts of trying but I finally got through to tech support via a tangled web of various wrong paths before finally finding the right path.
X, unlike Facebook or Instagroin, will actually respond to complaints. Facebook is as FaceLESS as can be. I’ve been jailed by Facebook at least a half-dozen times. One time, as a test, i posted the phrase “blanco basura” (white trash in Spanish). I posted nothing but those two words and got banned for a month… I tried numerous times to explain and COMplain about what I posted with ZERO response. Zuck is a dick and so is his wife…
The two factor authentication is essentially a digital ID. It ties you to your phone number (which also shows in real time your actual location). If it authenticates using an email it can only use one that is already authenticated to your phone number. So that is what you were up against.
They can't keep a good woman down, Sasha! ❤️☺️
Happy for you that the ordeal is over!
Happy for you. I am not on X but I do enjoy your writings and podcast.
Yay!! So thankful for your voice in our world, Sasha. Your common sense and perspective from the other side is priceless.
BRAVO Sasha! I have missed your posts!

YAY! Put this on your list of "tough things I eventually solved" to inspire you in the future. So happy for you.
Yay! Great work. I wouldn’t rule out nefarious foreign entities in the global underworld of cyber terrorists. Just sayin’.
🤣
So glad to hear!
Back everything up. Now.
But you already know that.
Great news Sasha! Please keep your Substack articles going. I always look forward to them and I rarely check X. Thanks for your great insights!

So glad to hear this!!!👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Admitting that you had some misses, fails– appreciate the honesty. Happy you are "all put back together again"!. Cheers, from Kansas!
What a great weight to have been lifted from your shoulders - you needed this win!
Set an email on one of the free or semi free services like gmail as the "recovery" email and use it for nothing else.
Great news, Sasha! Long, strange trip!
Ah good times in the digital fray
