Tell me something you love about the fedi.

I'll go first. I love the pics you all post under the #Bloomscrolling hashtag.

UPS workers are on the verge of the participating in the largest single-employer strike in history. One of the main reasons for the strike? The lack of protections from heat-related injuries. #Climate justice means worker power.

As someone who enjoys the personality you bring and the community you’ve built here, there’s an aspect of this I don’t think anyone commented on yet that especially bugs me: it’s the way they use “we.”

This type always pretends to speak for a “silent majority” who think like they do but just aren’t “brave” enough to say so. Not true! But if I engage, they relish the attention. If I don’t, they think I’m on their side, and maybe let you think so too. It’s a no-win situation.

#GroupHug
🔗 https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hug#Group_hug

"…involves more than two [beings] embracing each other by wrapping their arms around one another in order to physically express their bond with each other. A group hug has been found to be a useful tool in #groupTherapy to cement a sense of cohesion among the participants after a session, although it may cause discomfort for group members who shy away from physical contact…"

I am floored and fascinated by the near-literary quality of many of the descriptions of images that people carefully craft when appending pictures to their posts on Mastodon. Some of them will reveal a detail that had escaped my attention. Others will help me understand a subtle joke I had missed. Others still are true poems. ALT are their own microblogging world that reveals itself as you hover on a picture. And I hover, and hover.

And as predicted, here we are: the voice of the candidate is not actually the voice of the candidate. Next year’s US presidential election is going to be a free for all, AIs that is.
