Every year on 9/11, my feelings toward this day become more and more complex.

On one hand I fell the immense pride in the first responders and the ordinary people who took it on themselves to save those who needed it.

On the other, I fear that it allowed the hatred of others who are differently than us to grow and to put us on the path that we are on now.

For Apollo's thank you/memorial page I wanted a fun parody of Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" to play in the background, and the incredible Zoe Wynns put together an amazing song, with the superb @_chuckyc doing the visuals

I love how this turned out haha

Every time I talk about @Mastodon in one of my videos, I get comments telling me they couldn't figure out how to ue it, or that it's too complicated.

So, I mae a complete guide to #Mastodon: how to create an account, how to find people to follow, how to use it, and the general etiquette here!

(Of course, you all already know all of that, but now you have a reference guide you can share with people who struggle to join us here!)

OK, language weirdness question.

Someone recently said:

"I just about caught the train."

Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).

As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.

Thank you!

New from me: What does it mean for a state supreme court justice to say he is "intensely pro-law enforcement?"

It means he shouldn't be serving on a state supreme court.

This is huge news. The state #SupremeCourt has restored the right to #abortion in #SouthCarolina, and SCOTUS cannot reverse the decision because it's based on state law.
