@autisticbookclub @bookstodon you may also want to check local juvenile halls, prisons, and women’s shelters for what their book donation policy is. Those places, in my experience, are always in need of new (used) books.

@Nolasox ok thank you! Any idea how I do that? (I’m sure I can google it so if it’s annoying to explain don’t worry about it; I’m just very very lazy)

Do I need to change from this server (picked at random) for something writing/journalism related? Like if I want writing/journalism people who don’t currently follow me to see something I post?

Also why do people call it the Fediverse?

(These are unrelated questions other than that they’re both things about this website I don’t know)

Sharing this piece from @ct_bergstrom on the importance but peril of science communication the past few years. This is where I think #mastodon could hopefully provide that soft reset of the mounting toxicity in engaging in a constructive way that benefits everyone. A must read for all.

@jcheroske not at all! you make good points and if i didn't have a job that was SO dependent on my stories finding new eyeballs, i'd probably stick with masto only. but i could see one being better for, say, promoting stories and another (likely this one) for actually engaging with interesting humans (like you!)

@jcheroske i totally get that and i have no intention of abandoning mastodon. but i am also interested in seeing how new social media sites work. I'm not a fan of tiktok, FB, insta, and now twitter. as someone whose job it is to try to reach a broad audience, I'm open to different models and would really like to find more than one i don't actively hate.
