Still coming up the #learning curve on #Mastodon. Saw a post that I wanted to boost, but got a pop-up window that said I was on a different server and had to sign in there (no account) or paste a link in my own server. Again, no joy. Wanting #help figuring out that part of #decentralization. I know I’ve favorited or boosted other servers before - does it mean that our server has blocked their server?

From @NYTimes@newsrelay.org daily email newsletter by Melissa Kirsch: “I wish that I could get annual best-of lists from everyone I know…. I want people’s highly subjective and specific lists: the best advice they received and the best ideas they had. The best seltzers they tried or walks they took, the best changes they made to their morning routines. I want ideas for better living across the spectrum of existence; no category is too idiosyncratic.”

Let’s write some! #best #lists

Reading "The Idiot" by Elif Batuman. Really love this quote:

"Moreover, my policy at the time was that, when confronted by two courses of action, one should always choose the less conservative and more generous. I thought this was tantamount to a moral obligation for anyone who had any advantages at all, and especially for anyone who wanted to be a writer." #books
