  • Going a little bit different direction than some of the other responses, I feel like hash-tagging (wait that’s called something else now…?) content is important in helping people to find you in searching. And I’m thinking of search as a particularly important function as platforms like this are growing.

    I see posts that are heavily (15 or more) tagged… that may not even qualify as “heavily” out here in the fediverse, just something new to me.

    Been thinking about this a little bit and how I can personally lean into it versus my own insecurities. So this is a way for me to exercise self-promotion.


  • Holy crap this is endgame. The head of the judicial body is too concerned about the feelings of the body?

    So, just logically. I have a personal commitment and value to something. And somebody gets mad at me about it. My values and commitment should be able to withstand that? Yes? As soon as someone has a different opinion it’s like “I can’t bear to hear a different opinion (clutches pearls) and I can’t stand to have my opinion critiqued”

    For you and me and the lady in the checkout line (and I say that as a lady who is often in checkout lines), that’s great. But this is the head of the judicial body of one of the most powerful nations - most powerful democracies - on earth. These are opinions that shape the lives of 300 million people at least. And he’s gonna be there for another quarter of a century.

    Like how many steps is Roberts from a kind of de facto chilling effect, and I’m not trying to be funny

    Thank God for the generations who hear a public figure try to corral or control a situation and then begin to act in doing the exact opposite. Definitely need to remind the conservative justices that there are people out here

    End rant (for now)
