Hey, this is a long shot, but mastodon seemed to really pop off with followers when I joined; does anyone have any contact with WKSU here in Ohio? I live right up the street from their studios, and I really appreciate NPR and everything they've done, I'd be honored to give them an exclusive interview if they'd want me.

I've got other offers right now, and I'll talk to whoever if it gets the word out, but it'd be really cool to cross "be on NPR" off the bucket list lol

@willsigg I think it was you saying you wanted to be the media on #TikTok - so I think you can actually slowly #DIY as #NPR here !

...which OK you've done on youtube about tech etc but what about WITH the people first AND their love for life?❓💗

Too much focus on bad tech or best tech...

we need people with people, increasing #trust and #collaborating (not on money projects) but really understanding / #teaching #PEOPLE (accept working with different types instead of perfection or Tech focus)

@collective_truth yes, I made a tiktok saying I wanted to DIY some journalism! I'm still up for it, punditry is in my blood lol

@willsigg But even before that #Journalism

The right idea is talking with the people (I think "Citizen Journalism" is similar / better perhaps).

A ground level response (not always in person but can be online via audio chat also)

#CitizenJournalism has been great for taking best bits from people reactions or as best examples of good / bad bits in life and *importantly* our feelings...

Feelings, the system doesn't want (so it's a great service #CitizenJournalism gives + we need feelings)
