I know these don't usually go anywhere, but here's a post I made on LinkedIn about valuing our own work.

Ooh, this looks interesting, if I was working on #SciFi .

Your mind's playing tricks on you because you've not slept well.
There again, on the bathroom window, but you're on the 7th floor in a high-rise.

I'm on Facebook, Mastodon (dormant), LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram . . . all for many reasons. I dropped Twitter because it was stressing me out, but I respect those who can be there. I don't understand the problem.
jocelynjtweet @jocelynjtweetI also use different social media platforms. Facebook to keep in touch with old friends and some family. Twitter for various reasons. LinkedIn for business. I have an account on a Mastodon server, but it’s dormant. I had a Post account. No shame in multiple accounts.08:18 AM - May 15, 2024

Seriously, people, get a grip. It is possible to be in many places for many different reasons. It is possible to have friends and connections from many different groups. If we silo ourselves, all the time, nothing will ever change. Just stop!

Thanks for sharing this article. The complexity of this situation is so frustrating and frightening.

Nancy M @Zuzu757I have reached what I thought would truly be an unattainable goal, a lifelong (ok since Feb 2023) dream of mine. Today, May 14, 2024, not one but two of my spouts went viral. That's right... viral! I can now retire at the height of what could be called my lackluster social media presence 😎07:29 PM - May 14, 2024

Some will follow their parents, many will not. Their futures are at risk, so yes.

Redefining Work in an AI World
I own a Kindle Paperwhite. Usually, when I pick up the Kindle, I see an image of a book that some algorithm thinks would be perfect for me. Sometimes I even click on that image if it sounds intriguing. That is, until recently. Now the image that usually shows up is some kind of AI-generated cover of..

Lovely sentiment. I totally agree.

Nyah M @NaniWaialealeAfter revealing that I read Flowers in the Attic and Clan of the Cave Bear back in the 5th grade(on another platform), I realize that the generation after me (Millennials, Gen Z) were a lot more sheltered and censored than we (Gen X) were.03:49 PM - May 03, 2024

I am more socialist as well. (I've always been pretty liberal(.
Michael Allbritton @KlaatuI have gotten more liberal as I've gotten older. In fact I am getting more and more socialist the older I get. In the '08 meltdown I wanted the gov't to nationalize all those "too big to fail" banks, break them up, then sell them off again to cover the costs. And send people to prison.04:13 PM - May 02, 2024

I am sick and tired of the ageist bullshit that pretends anyone older has become more conservative and uncaring. Such bullshit. Many of us have been fighting these fights our whole lives.

The Hyde Amendment pissed me off. Every erosion has pissed me off.
The Dobbs decision and its aftermath have me livid.
I'm not alone.
