Day 103 of the strike and AMPTP has come back to the table. We stood strong and will continue to do so until a fair contract is negotiated.

Asking on behalf of an anonymous friend:

Any tips or guidance for organizing a remote workplace?

EG, avoiding using company resources is hard when all comms go through company resources.

So what are the best practices and recommendations?

A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:

* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name

UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️
