What's it with people reporting every single person they dont like..  

Please, stop with that.

This is not #Twitter. Please use features like mute or block if you don't like people but stop reporting otherwise I'll start banning people who keep reporting for nothing  

I'm trying to keep things running with so many new people and it's such a waste of time to hear whatever you don't like

Otherwise go waste Elon's time, not mine

@harleylecter Hey, hello there 👋. Wonderful to see you here 😀.
Next time someone complains about singular "they" I'll point them to this 17th century rant against singular "you"
I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

I'm trying to be a good citizen here by following some simple rules:

- listen more than you speak
- you're visiting someone's house for the first time don't start critiquing their floorplan
- see how you can help
- have conversations not performances

Thank goodness for the #sensory restorative nature of naps. Breakfast in guest house restaurant, and later a lunch in restaurant, totally overwhelmed my senses. Felt like my ears were being attacked by clatter and chaos and chatter. Made me shakey. A nap has reset my senses. I will now cope with dinner in a restaurant. Def bringing ear plugs though.

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

A welcome reminder that no matter what our context, we can all play a part in putting more love and kindness into the world:

"...the vocation of ordinary men and women called to continual, unspectacular acts of loving kindness in the ordinary setting of every day."

The 3,270-year-old Hove amber cup, found in 1856 in Hove, England. It's made of a single piece of amber from northern Europe, suggesting trade links between England and the Baltic even that long ago.

Each time another of these internal EM emails comes out, they feel increasingly chaotic and desperate. Surely we are getting closer to the tipping point where things start breaking Over There?
