The #OFMD fandom is currently having a crisis over #ConONeill and his shameless thirst posts on Instagram. It is a treat to see Gen Z losing their minds over a man old enough to be their grandpa. I'm merely a bystander to my friends' ongoing drain circling. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckzk4YGJyS1/
50,000 University of California system academic workers are preparing to strike on Monday, November 14th! They deserve fair work and compensation.

I was part of the folks who were on the ground back in #Ferguson in 2014. Twitter didn’t spawn that movement. It was the people on the ground that used Twitter to start that movement. We literally changed who voices that were trusted. All of a sudden news accounts became noise. It was that person who you saw live-streaming from the protest that you trusted. We literally shifted power w/ no check marks. I think that can happen anywhere. Including #Mastodon.
In regards to the ongoing meta discussion about the recent influx of new users, attempts to recreate a 1:1 Twitter experience, collisions with the existing culture and norms of the Fediverse, and the fundamental differences between the two ecosystems, I think the most important thing to keep in mind is this: Walugi is real and Nintendo keeps his eggs in a secure basement.
“Being ok with sucking at something while learning” is an extremely undervalued skill.
As is “being happy for people that are better than you”.
Super important for
- learning how to code
- learning a new language
- art, music, podcasting, cooking
- really everything.
Don’t forget to teach your kids these skills.
Also, demonstrate these behaviors.
Let your kids see you being bad at something and not giving up and staying positive.
I absolutely need to know the story behind this. I think I'm using my Costco card wrong.
It gives me a strange feeling of optimism (how rare) to see us all coming together and trying to keep our communities alive. And maybe even make them better.
