Hang in there, friends. Strengthen your communities and tell your friends you love them. We museum folks love you. Here are some helpful bananas.

@connections @bright_helpings This boost alerted me to the Connections Museum's presence on fedi, which is absurd because I followed them on Twitter, live a three-hour drive away, and have in fact visited them several times, whereas you live a full third of the globe away ๐Ÿ˜†

In any case, thanks for the boost! I checked ages ago before they'd made it over, and missed that they did eventually. Delightful!

@c9a Part of the reason I love sharing things from far away on fedi is that I probably know someone here who's close to them. :)
@connections Bring on the bananas and the comforting words! You've given me yet another reason to make a little trip from the east side to visit your fascinating museum.
@connections
๐Ÿ˜ญ OMG! Thanks! So cute!!!
@connections Thank you, Banana Family. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@connections

We're very pro-banana and old telecom equipment. Thanks for sharing!

@connections
How are you and big #WelcomeToot to these super cute plushy bananas!
@connections They are so cute ! ToT
@connections 1) ooo 2) can I buy one of these?
@connections I am confused by the scale of this. Is that a small keyboard?
@InsertUser There are 3 bananas, each a different size. The largest banana is in the two pictures with the keyboard, and the pencil. The medium and smallest bananas are in the other two pictures.
@connections This made my day! Bluesky is great but Mastodon is next level. I have seen exactly zero bananas on Bluesky.
@connections damnit.... and instantly my tiny snep-brain has an ear-worm again.... >_>
RingRingRing bananaphone..... *whistles* x)
