Dear #Fediverse:

Given the news in the last few days, I am encountering a lot of people who are seeking out #MentalHealth resources and #SelfCare techniques.

Can you help me add to the list? What resources do you recommend for people seeking mental health help?

How do you take care of yourself in tough times?

truly cats show us how to relax in any situation

Congratulations to Frontline!

By the way, yr humble #fediverse servant will be operating the Manchvegas Express tomorrow morning (read: I am driving my Hyundai Venue stuffed with coworkers to NH to help our team cover the primary).

I'll need to bring stuff to eat. Thoughts? I have "bag of fluffernutters" on my list so far. Fruit maybe?

Don't let anybody say we don't have fun at work 😁

say hello to @houstonpublicmedia everybody!

welcome fellow public media folk!!

give 'em a follow, #fediverse friends!

Is #Caturday, and for this last Saturday before #Halloween we are particularly interested in your black cats

But all cats are welcome in our mentions

Friends, #fediverse - ians, lend me your ears 👂

I spoke to a very interesting group of people last week about the prospects for Public Social Media.

I feel I should write a brief essay as followup and I am staring forlornly at my text editor.

How shall I explain to people unfamiliar with the #fediverse why it represents a promising opportunity for their organizations?

@dansup OHHHH ok. Well if it's select, then that is great. I actually don't want to upload EVERYTHING.

Thank you for your support!

@dansup oh cool! So the thing that got my attention was the Instagram integration.

It looks like if I have an IG archive file, I can upload it to Pixelfed. But it also looks like I have a 7GB upload limit, and I'm concerned that my archive would exceed that.

Is there any way to cut down an archive file? I'd cut it down to the last year to avoid the storage cap...
