Does anyone know of a good firm to recommend for human-done interview transcriptions in the US?
(I know about Rev but am hoping for something higher quality and less sweatshop-y)
The cover art of this book has such beautiful beading, I want to ask the artist about its tribal influences. (Flowers are more eastern Plains than is traditional to MN, where the author lives, but he is enrolled in a southeastern coastal nation.)
Maybe it will become clear when I actually start reading it!

The BirdFor us targeted:
1. Go into your Public Profile Settings
2. Look for Reach section.
3. Uncheck box that allows for follow requests to be automatically approved.
Yes, this will create a queue to examine, but anyone suspended gets kicked off the queue. It can limit mass follows from harassers to some degree.
Another good box to uncheck is under "Privacy" regarding who sees your follower list.
We're working on back-end stuff to stop this, but in the meantime, this can help.

@SnowyCA @Linux He has followed me 4-12 a day for months in classic "new account to evade blocks" pattern--not just me but several hundred others on servers with large disabled and lgbt populations. This is why I am pointing out red flags to look for in new followers.
Plus a pattern of trolling people who post about mutual aid, psychotherapy, immigration, etc. and then creating new accounts when blocked.
Several people have locked their accounts or left the platform entirely as a result.
Julé Cunningham“Of course, a great deal of our onslaught on Mother Nature is not really lack of intelligence but a lack of compassion for future generations and the health of the planet: sheer selfish greed for short-term benefits to increase the wealth and power of individuals, corporations and governments. The rest is due to thoughtlessness, lack of education, and poverty. In other words, there seems to be a disconnect between our clever brain and our compassionate heart. True wisdom requires both thinking with our head and understanding with our heart.”
