Ok. After a few weeks here on mastodon I realize I may need to change.... whatchamacallit...server?
I'm on climatejustice.social.
I don't really toot enough climate to satisfy the rules of conduct.
I'm looking for a place like journo but I'm not one. Do you have to be one to be in journo?

I want to read news, reports, and opinions from journalists, lawyers, scientists, etc, about civil rights, US politics, climate crisis, epidemiology/pandemic, etc.
Any advice?
