Dr. D. Elisabeth GlasscoDecoration Day, now known as Memorial Day, has roots in a tradition established by Black-Americans in the aftermath of the Civil War. On May 1, 1865, the formerly enslaved, with profound gratitude for Union soldiers who fought and died for their emancipation, began commemorating that sacrifice by decorating Union graves. This remembrance and gratitude eventually gained support from communities across America.

You've decided to leave Twitter -- or at least dial your activities there way back. (Good idea!) How do you decide where to go? @jangles and I break it down -- with a focus on Mastodon -- in this short midweek episode of our "For Immediate Release" podcast.

FIR #303: The Quest for a Twitter Alternative - FIR Podcast Network
One list includes 50 potential Twitter replacements -- none of which will offer every one of Twitter's features and none of which includes everyone you're currently following on the bird site. How do you decide where to go when you conclude that maintaining your current Twitter activity is no longer feasible? Neville and Shel sort it out -- with a focus on Mastodon -- in this short mid-week episode of "For Immediate Release."
If your city relies on tourism, things are going to get tougher. The need for better gun control in the US has many dimensions.

Robert ReichCorporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019.
Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.
Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.
I have set up a Mastodon instance and have a question. I can't see any replies to a toot, but they all appear if I click on the original toot. What setting have I missed that will display a thread on the instance? I don't mind the clicking but I have to believe nobody will do that if they can't tell replies are there. Thanks!
If you have questions about brands and branding, Thursday's your day to ask them. I will moderate a panel of four IABC Fellows for a conversation about brands, brand promises, brand strategies, internal branding, and more. We will take your questions (and share your comments and experiences) during the broadcast. (If you can't make it to the live stream, you can watch the video replay or listen to the audio podcast later.) The broadcast begins at 4 p.m. EST.

Communicating Your Brand: Watch the Discussion on November 17 - FIR Podcast Network
Is your trademark your company's brand? Your logo? Or is your brand what your customers say about you when you're not in the room? What's a brand promise and how do you develop one that everyone can buy into? How do you build the brand internally so every employee projects it externally? What's the communicator's role in protecting the brand? And what do you do when your company fails to live up to it? Four IABC Fellows will share their deep experience with brands and branding in the next "Circle of Fellows" episode, which will be broadcast live at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 17. You will be able to ask questions and share your own experiences in real-time during the conversation or watch the video replay or listen to the audio podcast later when it's more convenient for you.
