Tip to new #Mastodon users, especially #law #legal #LawFedi types migrating from #lawtwitter:

Welcome! Get situated, say hi, introduce yourself--but don't JUST do that. You bring interesting perspectives on your profession, practice, and #court developments. Start sharing those thoughts!

See an intriguing/silly/unusual legal filing or argument? You've got a whole new audience of people here who are interested and were smart enough to navigate the tech hurdles to get here. Let's hear about it!

Did my first #run today as part of the Couch to 5K programme. It was really tough, but I'm proud of myself for getting out there.

While running is something new, I'm returning back to the gym tomorrow. Bit nervous for it, but at least I know what I'm doing there.

Also the train sounds like it's going to fall apart and it's not even a pacer.

Why is the #greatnorthern service announcement so stilted? It's like:

Welcome aboard this…

SERVICE…

I really hadn’t realized how much disgust I would feel witnessing how Elon is treating Twitter employees. I was iffy about him & his plans, but now I strongly associate his brands (Twitter, Tesla, Elon) with that visceral feeling of disgust.

I originally intended to keep the #twitter account open for an organisation I run. But I figured it's not worth it given the direction the bird site is headed in. Closed it down and now I've finally uninstalled the app. 🙌🏻
