@mmiasma I mean, it's not exactly wrong. Lol. Still, as a Michigander I'd rather clown on Ohio or something
Hey, remember when Hostess went bankrupt and everyone was panic buying Twinkies? https://mstdn.link/?to=https://mastodon.cloud/@boingbot/111047864150332514

"Boost more, it's the only way people's work you like gets seen" "Boost less, I want to see more OC" "Follow back a lot" "Don't follow too many because then you look like a bot"

There's a lot of peer pressure on how to just EXIST here I didn't really see on Twitter. Some time it feels like one is being bombarded on all sides.

I think, as I decided on Twitter ages ago, I will commit to being civil and respectful, but beyond that it's my timeline and follows and I'll use them as
I please.
Eye-popping stat:
Per the US Mint, it now costs 2.72 cents (!) to make a single penny. They minted 5 billion last year anyway while ~200 billion sit in jars somewhere.
It costs 10.41 (!) cents to make a nickel. They minted more than a billion of those too.

For #FediFriday / #FollowFriday I made a simple website that lists 5-8 *active* Mastodon accounts for each of the following categories: Columnists, Journalism, Tech, Media, Politics, Authors, Social Justice, Advocacy, Law/Legal, SciComm

Lots of great follows in there (imho), including many familiar faces and some folks you may not (yet) know about.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!
