This whole business with trying to migrate my account has got me thinking about place names and our inner geography. I’ve recently moved house, and the hill I live on once gloried in the name of Faerie Knowe. That place is gone now, swallowed up by change; it has a much more prosaic street name today. But I wonder what it was named for? The ancient and fey oak tree in my garden? The whimsy of a Victorian gentleman? The in-jokes of 18th century potters? Here it is on a map #folklore #faeries

I really like the favorite/boost/bookmark distinctions. I also like the fact that here you have to go back to the original post to talk--my brain says lovechild of Twitter and Pillowfort. Also, accountability, woohoo!

So. In my view.

Favorite: HEY YOU this was a COOL THING.

Boost: HEY EVERYONE this was a COOL THING.

Bookmark: HEY ME don't forget about this COOL THING.

Reply: OMG WHAT A COOL THING can we TALK about it?

I think the part that pisses me off the most about the downfall of the bird app, is how many small businesses and creators are being (and going to be) severely harmed because of this.

Journalist @KlasfeldReports
is live-posting closing arguments in the Oath Keepers trial.

Convictions for seditious conspiracy would be hugely important.

Because of how treason is defined in the Constitution and interpreted by courts, seditious conspiracy is the closest we have to a charge of conspiracy.

YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
