@mekkaokereke The phrase that I always come back to is “Take care of yourself so you can take care of others”.

Thanks for taking care of us, Mekka. I hope you take care of yourself, as well.

@annaleen My brain says Double Dragon, but I’m doubting myself.

Also, thank you for not using Substack.

@_elena You just gave me the blueprint I didn’t even know I needed to really dive into the #Fediverse. I’ve now followed you on #Mastodon and #Pixelfed and will add your blog to my RSS subscriptions.

@molly0xfff Yes! I use Inoreader, as well, and for the same reasons. I especially prefer RSS to email newsletters as I am more likely to read what in my feed as opposed to what’s in my Inbox.

Let’s also not forget that podcasts are also delivered via RSS reader, so you’re not restricted to just print sources when you subscribe to RSS feeds.

A few thoughts and some inspiration from my favorite book growing up.

We Will Continue To Fight

@BeAware I feel that's part of the point of the Fediverse. You have many options, so pick the one which fits your goals. People can follow you in so many ways.

@BeAware Might also be a sign I should double check my post to make sure I've worded it clearly. I'm glad I could clarify, though!

@BeAware Second option means I have one account (Mastodon). Anybody who follows me on Pixelfed would only see posts with photos in them.

First option is where I have a Mastodon AND a Pixelfed account and I post to both depending on whether or not there's a photo involved.

Big news for Kendrick Lamar fans broke today. Needless to say, this is huge news for the superstar rapper and songwriter, but, as drum corps fans will attest, his music has already appeared on the football field a few times in recent years.

Everything Happens BECAUSE OF A Reason – Medi-Nerd 2 https://medi-nerd.com/2024/09/03/everything-happens-because-of-a-reason/

I’ve stayed with Twitter throughout all of these issues as I continue to follow the many drum corps, marching arts, and sports accounts which are still active there, but I have also looked at what my options are should Twitter finally go belly up and shut down completely. Fortunately, there are a few choices for those of us who prefer this type of social media.

As this extended 4th of July weekend comes to a close, we’ve probably heard and/or played the classic John Philip Sousa march Stars & Stripes Forever more times than we care to admit. Well, I’m going to make you listen to it a few more times, but with a little twist that you may appreciate.

@Jerm Well, they want people to pay for TC+, too.

@Jerm That's amazing, and not in a good way. #tennis #RolandGarros #FrenchOpen

@Jerm Unfortunately, it looks like Tennis Channel Plus is the only way to get that level of access. #Tennis #RolandGarros #FrenchOpen
