Every year, Nova Scotia provides Boston with its official yuletide tree as a thank you for the city's response to the 1917 #HalifaxExplosion
An estimated 2,000 people died and 9,000 more were injured.
Aid from #Boston was the 1st to arrive, and the response has not been forgotten.
The #TreeForBoston will leave Halifax on Nov. 21st for its 1,100-kilometre journey to Massachusetts. A tree-lighting ceremony will take place at the Boston Common on Dec. 1st.
A note/reminder to health economists on Mastodon - if you tag @healthecon in your post, the @healthecon group account will automatically boost it to its followers (currently 66 of us; hopefully more - so, please follow the group account)!
For other folks here on econtwitter.net, not there are group accounts for most #economics specialties - see the curated list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DVDfc3V7zTpghG0zbIYhHGQFU0rvy4BtpVQiNFn3DC4/edit#gid=0

@deNew_John < get it. I am keeping my twitter account, but I just stopped using the app. I still have a myspace account, and a facebook one, and even an AOL one... I just don't check them very often.

Such a brave brave little hero

I now have 1k followers on Mastodon. Still nearly 15k on the other site, but many of those I engage with most are here.
And without a selection rule (seriously, it's not an algorithm!) reinforcing my choices of what to look at, i have a much more diverse feed here. Cost is a bit of randomness, but not too much.
