This harlequin has survived since the mid 1960s. When I was a little girl, I thought it was a fancy lady with sunglasses and bouffant hair. Truth: I still do

"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it." —J.D. Salinger

Overwhelmed by all the amazing responses. Thank you for sharing! My plan is to compile these posts into a gallery walk with a reflection — stay tuned!
#writers of all kinds, I need your help.
Please take a moment to comment how you use writing in your profession. I want to show my students that all jobs require writing skills and effective communication. Mention your job title, but I will keep names private. And please boost, as I am still building followers. Many thanks!
If you could entirely erase your knowledge of a book, film, or play so that you could experience it for the first time with absolutely zero foreknowledge, which one would you choose?

Attached: 2 images Someone with the Github handle Cassolotl published a chart on the anatomy of Mastodon feeds. Their work is meaningful and invaluable, but as a designer I felt we needed something more aesthetic so I created this alternative for sharing.

This piece on Wired about Black Twitter is worth your time. It's something I've been thinking about a lot, about how uneven a migration to a new space ends up being.

It also is one thing I'm eyeing about Mastodon. There's a danger that servers become silos if we aren't intentional. If you listen to some of the Black scholars in my field, they are saying as much. Twitter makes their work visible across groups.

So how do we federate for inclusion? It will be a challenge.
