If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 “Conclusion” (1854)

@ai6yr Uhhh whuuut?! So sorry to hear this. I will continue to use, & pay for the app (finally got my brother and some of his friends to subscribe 2 days ago.) But that’s the same crap I’ve gotten thru out my working life. I definitely don’t get along with the herd, bcuz I don’t follow fuzzy butts going off a cliff. I’m labeled as “difficult” bcuz my opinion differs from everyone else’s. #SentinelChicken. #DifferentDrummer. #FightToBeYourself !

Hope this means you’ll be free to post your “unwanted opinions” (ie expertise/insights) here. The 1st day of the fires-I was constantly switching back and forth between Mastodon & Watch Duty (bcuz I knew you had a beat on stuff no one else did!)
