I have a favorite thing on Mastodon and it is @selfcare_gentle
Made soup for a sick friend today, it's a good feeling to make something that eases another person's burden even if it's #justsoup.
Today's an English folk music day, with grey low-lying clouds outside.
Steeleye, Watersons, Bellamy, inter alia. I feel like this might resonate with @megueyb.
it will never not boggle my mind that at one point during the great depression the federal government was literally paying for anywhere between 3,000-8,000 people to do archives field work in every county in the United States during the latter half of the 1930s.

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.
@megueyb oooh the #SeekingToFollow tag is a cool idea!

The problems we tackled, everybody still tackles today. Our good ideas are conventional wisdom now, which is fine and good...
