Anybody else really digging the Liturgists Discourse community? The flat threading is taking me a while to get used to, but having conversations broken up by subject and topic is pretty great, and so far, it feels like Discourse & Mastodon should complement each other nicely. Well done, @mike.

In case y’all haven’t heard: @mike started using another platform called Discourse - it seems so much smoother, easier to use, more secure, and simply better! Definitely worth checking out - you can find links in recent show notes

Facebook destroys everything it touches. It needs to be treated like a public utility and regulated. So does Twitter.

Oh man @mike was in the hospital with a heart condition! He is doing better, but still has work to do. Please do what ever you do - good vibes, prayers, warm fuzzies - he'll take them all.

Hey Liturgists fam - our little corner of the fediverse is apparently pretty hoppin! on the site https://instances.social, we are 52/5200 (top 1%!) in terms of number of users (3084), but 199/5200 in terms of toots - I guess that means we are less chatty than average. Thank you @mike for setting this up, and giving us an alternative to the Zuckerberg/Dorsey dystopian vision of social media. Good to be here with all of you!

Another great reason to do what you can to help with climate change (and all the other connected injustices we face)? It inspires other people. It inspires you. Do the next right thing, big or teeny tiny. We affect each other. Don't despair, and if you do, find other people to do something with.

I'll tell you what I'm doing if it helps.

Fascinating article that the graphic comes from:

Met some amazing people this weekend at #TabsandWafers in Portland. These two were no exception. Thank you for the amazing show and work you do @mike and @vishnu

If you're around St. Louis this weekend, we're getting together at the Blue Duck Saturday at 7:30 pm. All are welcome!

@mike You have a very persuasive ad read for Kiwico. Both crates have been a big hit and I've had so much fun helping them. I'm hoping to have them try on their own next time.
