As much as I am trying to make the move to Mastodon from Twitter, there is still a great deal over there I need professionally. Not looking forward to it going down in flames.

Err, "Mastodonians"?

Hello Mastadonians! I'm returning here as an alternative to Twitter, and looking forward to tooting more often.

Pops has moved instances!!!Oct 11, 2018

When I say "Alexa play The Communists Have the Music" it says "here's a station you might like"

When I say "Alexa play The Communists Have the Music by They Might Be Giants" it says "shuffling songs by They Might Be Giants"

If it just didn't have the song in its library it would've said "I can't find The Communists Have the Music"

So what this tells me is it filters out the word "communist" entirely

Holy shit

Dear Every Phone Manufacturer (looking at you Google): any form of slippery back is fine on a phone if - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - you make the sides of the phone grippy. Why does no one get this?

I do hope they come to Mastodon and not yet another centralized silo 😇

I might get another degree someday. Master's, not PhD. But the real challenge is that I'm not sure I could be happy focusing on just one area of history. I have SO many historical interests:

- labor
- public works/construction/design
- nuclear things
- women's things
- peace/pacifism/anabaptist things
