I had a cat named Rufus once!

I’m looking for one that allows handwriting to text, if anyone knows of one.

I’ve been using StoryGraph since it came around and really enjoy it. I’ve looked at BookWyrm, but I haven’t considered switching yet.

The article mentions the WaPo connection to Amazon and its board, as they should, but I’m surprised to see this particular topic there, too.

This particular paragraph is disingenuous in its characterization of what’s going on with Reddit, though:

There was also a concern that any major changes to the platform could scare people away. One former employee compared Goodreads to Reddit, an 18-year-old internet forum where users are revolting because of modifications to the site. “People feel like they can’t anger the community,” the former employee said.

It also isn’t that Mastodon is necessarily a replacement for Twitter (or Lemmy for reddit). I use these communities vastly differently than I did those two places: I am much more involved and feel like an actual part of my curated communities. I’m not a lurker or a pair of potential eyes to be advertised at.

The ways that our Fediverse options are different are myriad and immensely important in a way that most outside observers don’t get. These aren’t “just replacements” at all; they’re communities—and upgraded ones at that.

Awwwww, little chunkies!

My organization just switched from this a few weeks ago! 😬

Very Being John Malkovichian…

I’ve used Joey for years. (I’ve never used the official app.)

I’m not using anything right now and have deleted one of my accounts. I’ll be deleting the other one in the next week.

Guys. It even works for Spider-Man.

I really appreciate you!

Wait. No, share it. Please! 🥺

Duluth, Minnesota, tried to do some control for absent landlords, requiring that landlords live within or have a representative within X miles of the rental. Unfortunately, all that did was make management companies more overbearing when owners turned to them to be the local contact.

Oh, thank goodness, if this is the actual trend. We’ve been debating moving, but rental markets have been ludicrous everywhere.

Nom nom nom. (But if you find fruit bats or capybaras eating, let me know!)

This is a great idea, and I wonder what other benefits companies could offer new grads (HS or college) to help launch them into the world.
