Whiners, jeez
What apps are people using now to be on Mastodon?
Enjoying my Uncle's holiday rum balls for the first time in 3 years ❤️
Listening to Newt's latest book enumerating the failures of big government 😂
Apparently my students are fans of the Socratic method and say I should use it more. 🤔💡
I finally got my first Professor Peralta talks too fast comment! Apparently I can be "so enthusiastic about the subject" that I sometimes talk "a little too fast".
My friends, the class was intermediate micro. It's true. My students 🙄 at me whenever I called a problem "fun". 🤣
mconnorMozilla just announced that we will launch a Fediverse instance next year.
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-launch-fediverse-instance-social-media-alternative/
The Fediverse is a huge opportunity with big challenges, especially around long-term sustainability. We believe that an open, decentralized system is needed, and we're eager to help make that possible.
If you're part of a Fediverse project focused on sustainability, safety, and/or user experience, we'd love to know what you're working on!
Qasim Rashid, Esq.I think the biggest thing about Mastodon that I'm enjoying is the normalizing of dialogue. Questions aren't dunks, they're inquiries to understand better. A perhaps not the best stated phrase is still taken with positive intent. And the atmosphere really does focus on uplifting voices, rather than finding the next target.
All of the above has exceptions, of course, but after all exceptions prove the rule.
Grateful for this growing Mastodon community. I appreciate you. ❤️✊🏽
I've come to a slow realization over the last month or so that I've really lost my way. I went into economics thinking I'd go into public service. Sometime during the PhD I got caught up in the competitive rat race. Weirdly enough, teaching at LSU is what reminded me. Attempting a major course correction now.
