RE: @404mediaco@mastodon.social
On the one hand, I'm annoyed that as a #Patreon creator I'm reading important announcements from them on @404mediaco@mastodon.social before I hear it from the platform itself.
On the other hand, this is another confirmation that my subscription to 404 Media is well worth the money.
Happy to see Britta Gustafson aka Dreamyshade get a Wikimedian of the Year Laureate award at #Wikimania. I took the photo of her that was featured on the screen!

@timbray@cosocial.ca - Well-said. I've left all other social media,* though I do bridge my Mastodon posts to Bluesky.

"It's like when we got cellphones and stopped remembering phone numbers, but it's grown to me mentally outsourcing ‘thinking’ in general."
I am a native of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood itself, Pittsburgh PA, and am a big fan of his.* But FWIW, I don't think they've announced that they're uploading every episode of the show on YouTube, just selected episodes and highlights.
Re-sharing a @medium@me.dm story on #depression that I wrote a year ago for #MentalHealth Awareness Month:
Was hoping to attend some #Wikimania sessions virtually, but I'm 10 hours behind here in San Francisco so unlikely. Wish I'd gotten a scholarship so I could be there in person, but at least I'm missing the heat wave.
