The FAO Food Price Index averaged 135.9 points in October 2022, almost unchanged from Sept, with the price indices of all the covered commodity groups, except cereals, down month-on-month. An upturn in the Cereal Price Index countered drops in other indices.
I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.
Inspired by a good idea:
Hi, I'm Terry. I'm first cohort GenX. Yeah, I'm a white woman but I am not a handmaiden of the white supremacist patriarchy (I love you, @monaeltahawy). I've been in tech for way too long as a marketer, writer, promoter. But I love technology - the promise and potential - the reality has it's moments. My personal interests are #prisonabolition #campaignfinancereform #endthedeathpenalty and #lgbtqrights. I hope if you find me you'll engage.
“For most of us on the front lines of movement, we never have time to have a dream. #philanthropy wasn’t investing in directly impacted Black folks like me to have dreams. They were instead pumping resources into big policy houses, think tanks, academia, nonprofits secretly fueled by government officials. Those were the people funded to imagine a new world for me.” - Tanya Watkins of S.O.U.L for Nonprofit Quarterly
