Confession: I still pop into the other site despite the evil overlord. Why? Mostly it's cultural stuff I crave. My day can be made with an ancient tool found in ice, a burrowing owl peeking out of the ground, someone's spectacular peony. My fingers are crossed this site is growing into that, too.

I find I'm less inclined lately to Echo a spout because echoing causes a spout to show up multiple times on my feed. I wish it was set up so that when a spout is echoed, it shows up on the original post only as having been echoed x-number of times, but doesn't repeat. Would that be possible to do?

I wish echoes could be combined, so for example it could say "Person A, Person B & Person C Echoed..." instead of seeing the same Spouts over and over again in my timeline. Show it once with the names of who has echoed it. I hope I'm making sense.

Yes! This is the point.
It's easy to get people riled up -- and goad them to act on their feelings.
Emotions as politics.
Works quite well, particularly when you have no real platform or policies.
Just hate.

I swear Fox MAGA leaders are trying to keep emotions up high and inconsistent. It’s exhausting. Working to incite?

I was fortunate to meet Jimmy Carter during Habitat for Humanity Builds. On commercial flights, he would walk the isle and greet everyone on the plane and during Habitat builds, he would stop by every house to check on the progress and take a group photo. So humble and committed to humanity.

Thank you for putting that out there. I'm white but I also struggle with that scale every time.

Bedford Palmer II, Ph.D. @drbfpalmer

To the medical professionals out there. Please stop asking folks to rate pain on a 10pt scale. It’s subjective and facilitates medical racism.

Instead, ask them to describe the pain. Ask about the qualities of pain.

Is it throbbing, shooting, aching, burning, etc. #ChronicPain
