“For far too long, law schools have been beholden to for-profit magazine editors at U.S. News masquerading as experts on legal education. Every #lawschool and #lawstudent will benefit if we no longer spend scarce resources trying to satisfy arbitrary criteria at odds with our mission and values.”

The latest Mastodon update lets you follow hashtags. When you follow, posts with a tag appear in your timeline automatically.

Try following #Gardening to make posts about gardening appear in your timeline.

This can be REALLY useful for discovering interesting accounts.

To follow a hashtag:
1. Log in through your server's website
2. Search for hashtag
3. Click it to see its results
4. Click on 👤+ icon in top right (click again to unfollow)

Posts from followed tags are visible in the apps too.

Let's see how Mastodon does at making the thing I need magically appear.

I need:

A short drag queen

Who has done a 1920s/30s themed routine

Who would be willing to loan me a photo of said routine for my personal reference board

In exchange for a thank-you credit in the eventual published book under whatever name they prefer.

(If there's a short dark-haired drag queen out there who also happens to be a Jewish anarchist, that would be a bonus, but I realize that's asking a lot.)
