Why it matters: School board members decide policies that shape classroom resources, equity, and accountability. Voters should know each candidate’s vision for funding, discipline, and support for students of color and low-income families.

coming from tumblr, mastodon has essentially a topologically equivalent interface, with likes (favorites), reblogs (boosts), and reblogs-with-content (replies i think). but whenever i log in here, most posts i see have like...no likes and no reblogs, and maybe a few replies. and maybe i'm just tumblpilled, but i just don't get it... don't you like seeing your friends' posts? aren't you going to put them on your followers' screens? 🥺 we're never going to be the new new pdf at this rate

I want a joker theme I also can't find any art I wanna use #OK

@Priyajsridhar
How am I doing in general? Would I say I'm okay?

In general, I'm at a crossroads--looking at applying for Social Security and Medicare.

Okay is so generic it almost doesn't give any info to say "I'm okay." My usual response these days is just to say "I'm here" if I want to give a neutral response.

Details happen only if I know you. Or it's a doctor.

But mostly I'm okay.

@Priyajsridhar
Are okay and ok the same? Or different? Why?

I should have read ahead on the questions. My bad.

For me, okay and ok (which is usually U/C) and O.K. are all the same. And the dictionary reminds me it can be an adjective, adverb, interjection, noun, or verb. And it can be singular or plural.

Very versatile okay.

And I'll repeat: whichever you choose, use the same one throughout your ENTIRE writing project.

Okay means, you know, 6 - 7. I'm fine. I'm good, but not great, but not bad either. No catastrophes.

It's okay to be okay.

Also, I had never heard of OK Day before today. Thanks for that!

I'm OK being left behind, thanks!

Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable. "You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered. That struck me as a bizarre sentiment. What is there to be left behind from? If BitCoin (or whatever) is going…
