One nifty thing here is that you can 'follow' hashtags. That's one way to keep seeing people posting about something that interests you, then you can check their profiles and follow more people. The hashtag for tips is #FediTips.

When I started I put some effort into finding a couple hundred people to follow, and that gave me a full enough feed, and I keep following new people as well.

These lists are a bit old, but hopefully still useful. github.com/nathanlesage/academ

> The population reporting only a cognitive disability has grown substantially, by roughly 1 million, or 43%, since 2019. The growth of this category is quite significant considering the average annual growth from 2014 through 2019 was just 28,000.

Unlike many of the missions in New Mexico, St. Joseph Apache Mission in Mescalero was a labor of love, built as a gift to the Mescalero Apache over the course of two decades by one of the last frontier priests in New Mexico, Father Albert Braun. The small crew of Franciscan priests and Mescalero Apache volunteers used primitive tools to dig the foundation, which is seven feet deep in some areas.
