This video is making me rethink my cynical doomerism.

Say something to me to build on this….please.

I struggle to be socially engaged for more than a couple of hours before needing to recharge with an equal portion of solitude.

This makes the intensities of Christmas gatherings a challenge.

A good moment in history to remind you of the benefits of slowing down your breathing.

Over the next 7 days or so, make an extra and sustained effort to be kind to one another.
People will be needing it.

Hashtags are a vital component of interconnecting the #fediverse

But they are also informational and visual junk cluttering our feeds. And many people use way way way too many.

It would be great if we had the options of hiding #hashtags from our feed without negating their linking functionality.

Cloak the hashtags!

Question.

Is there a #mastodon app that gives you the option to only show the pictures in your feed (and then see entire post by clicking)?

Like the Impressia app does on #pixelfed.

What would be helpful for people's mental health right now is for all #trump #biden #maga content on #mastodon to be folded away behind a content warning. A voluntary standard.

Boost to promote as a preferred behaviour.

If you, like me, are a huge fan of ‘Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance’ you will definitely need to read this…..

BREAKING: “As of this hour, the Israeli military has officially taken over the Rafah crossing – it’s strategically cutting off the Gaza Strip and sealing it off from the region.”

A request to all those posting to the #climateChange hashtag.

Resist the dopamine trap of simply seeking reposts of the latest examples of climate emergencies and studies confirming just how bad things are.

We all get it now. We know the prognosis.

Now it is time to focus on the change part of the hashtag.

How do we change? How are we being changed?

It is time to shift focus to discussing our lived, shared experiences preparing and adapting for the near future.

#climateDiary

Make it trend.

Post a photo or cite example of something simple (an object or an experience) that brings abundance and satisfaction way beyond its face-value simplicity.

Tag it with #frugalAbundance
Boost examples that resonate with you.

Now that’s a hashtag I would love to see trending.

UN votes almost unanimously to demand immediate ceasefire in #gaza.

US vetoes the vote because it will interfere with its efforts to arrange a ceasefire.

A pox be upon both the governments of #israel and the #usa
