Are you using Mastodon through a computer?

Do you wish there was a multi-column TweetDeck-style interface?

There is! It's called the "advanced web interface" and you can activate it any time you want. It lets you add many specialised columns, subscribe to hashtags and all kinds of stuff suited to large wide displays.

Log into the website, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click "Save Changes".

(To restore the default single column interface, do the same thing but untick the box instead.)

This used to be the default interface on Mastodon, and very old articles about the platform will have screenshots of the multicolumn interface.

Well, now that I've been quoted in the Washington Post saying that I like Mastodon better than Twitter I guess I have to stay here. 😂

The next episode of Unsung History is about a woman whose syndicated column was read by 20 million Americans a day.

If you've never heard of Elsie Robinson, you need to tune into Unsung History on Monday!

In my past running life I ran marathons and half marathons and knew race day was a day when I should eat everything in sight. Today I ran a 5K and still want to eat everything in sight. 😂

Okay #histodons, I am planning a series of episodes in 2023 on #Chicago history, and I really want to find someone working on Czech American or Polish American history in Chicago to interview. Who should I be talking to?

I asked Alexa to play classic Madonna music, and now I'm hard core nostalgic for the '80s and '90s.

I really want there to be a knitting instance of Mastodon called Woolly.

I just posted a new episode of Unsung History, which features an interview with Dr. Felicia Kornbluh about the reproductive rights activism in 1960s New York that led to the most liberal abortion law in the country there in 1970.

With the fall of Roe, this activist history is key to what to do next.

The Politics of Reproductive Rights in 1960s & 1970s New York

My kids are dressing as Mozart and Beethoven for Halloween (because, you know, we're big nerds). At Pumpkins in the Park several people correctly identified Mozart (though one guessed Jefferson), but no one got Beethoven. Poor Ludwig just doesn't stand out the way Mozart does. Maybe he should have an audio recording of the first four notes playing from his lapel or something.
