👋 Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.
If you think our station and other #NPR stations should have a Mastodon server or a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!
WE DID IT! The Texas Observer will remain open!
Our board just voted to rescind both the layoffs and the closure. We'll have more news soon, but we believe this is the start of a very positive transformation at our publication—and you were a huge part of it. THANK YOU! You proved to the world that #TexasNeedsAnObserver!

Getting a lot of questions so to clean up confusion—here’s how to respond when someone wishes you “Ramadan Mubarak”:
•Ramadan Mubarak to you too!
•Ramadan Kareem!
•Khair Mubarak!
•Happy Ramadan!
•I will buy you tacos after Ramadan ends!
So if you were unsure how to reply, you’re welcome.😉 May you all have a blessed and happy month full of peace and service to all humanity. Amen. ❤️
I have a question about the Michael Mann movie Ambulance, & no idea where to even post it.
About 30 mins. in, Eiza González & her partner are talking while walking down the sidewalk toward the camera. Abruptly, to their immediate right, an enormous, frantic-looking bearded man comes SPRINTING toward us, blowing PAST the couple & TOWARD the heist and gunfire that commence shortly thereafter.
WHO IS THAT PERSON (AND ALSO WHY)?
Din Djarin is a single dad who traded in his minivan for a sportscar because he is having a midlife crisis.
Born in 1914, Hedy Lamarr was a famous American actress who pioneered the technology that would lead to WiFi, GPS, cell phones & Bluetooth communication.
Lamarr was brilliant. Among many fascinating inventions, she developed a new communication system with composer George Antheil that used “frequency hopping” among radio waves.
Once called the “most beautiful woman in the world," Lamarr is now remembered as "the mother of Wi-Fi."

It’s free during #BlackHistoryMonth. What better time than to take this course? I was honored to be a part of it with so many scholars I admire. Make this a part of your curriculum this month. @MasterClass

I am new here.
I like it very much.
I am still learning about my new neighborhood.
If you have any bits of folk wisdom or a story based upon your own #TwitterMigration experience that you're inclined to share, I'd be delighted to hear!
Thank you for having me.
