My email signature states the following:
*Please note that I work flexibly and may send emails in the evenings and at weekends. I do not expect anyone to reply outside their own working hours*
If I'm emailing a junior colleague outside regular working hours I move this up to the top of the email to ensure they don't feel pressured to respond immediately.
To my mind, news organisations are the best long-term hosts for Mastodon servers.
* We're good at big-load infrastructure, and used to sudden surges.
* We know how to monetise communities indirectly and unobtrusively, at least well enough to carry hosting and admin costs.
* We understand moderation and legal obligations around content.
* We're pretty trustworthy, pretty well (self)regulated, very transparent, and extremely thick- skinned.

Our Memory Like Dust
By me. African #scifi https://gavinchait.com/our-memory-like-dust/
<p><em>We tell stories to hold on to what has been loved and lost. To sustain memory. To create new myths . . .</em></p><p>An aid-worker is betrayed while helping thousands escape a massacre. A secretive businessman wages clandestine war against a ruthless energy cartel. An air convoy – its illicit cargo destined for hostile militants – vanishes over the Sahara. Meanwhile, as millions fleeing famine, genocide and environmental collapse seek refuge across the Mediterranean, their genii begin to intrude into reality. And deep within the desert something precious and terrible has been lost – something which could overwhelm them all . . .</p>
