#Philadelphia Ethical Society
1906 South Rittenhouse Square
I'll be attending this Philly Mastodon Migration Party a week from Wednesday to represent Jawns.club and invite people to join our server (among other options). There will be several activities to help people socialize while learning the basics of the fediverse.
This post may only reach people already on fedi, but if you have friends who are not here yet, this could be a fun way to get them on board, so please spread the word.
Vicki Miller and Michael Lazrus spoke about #NoKings at the #Philadelphia Ethical Society on 2026-03-15.

Lazrus said the Black Lion party attended a previous protest. Lazrus used a laywer to convince them not to attend in the future. Lazrus was asked what he would say to people who feel safer when protected from state violence by black people with long guns. He reiterated that he worked with a lawyer and police to maintain non-violence.
#Clown is a weird art form. Normal people probably see a bizarre bid for attention. Some folks do catch on that the game is about using the nose to share what doesn't fit in a conventional social setting.
I'm doing a turn for the next slam in west philly.

I just remembered that you two have never met, and that is some bs.
@bkuhn Probably. Aiming for maximum views sucks.
I bet you'd rather keep aiming for truth and clarity anyway.
A little while ago @NikkiM asked me what might be done to help a person who has speech and physical disabilities that make Siri unusable.
I don't know if we can fix Siri, but I bet if the three of us put our heads together we could come up with some assistive tools that would make a big difference.
