Move Slowly and Build Bridges tells the story of activists, software developers, artists, and everyday …
I've read books published by Oxford University Press before, but I've never enjoyed a book from OUP like I have Gehl's Move Slowly and Build Bridges. This work of Internet Studies focused on the Mastodon social media platform employs an interview-based methodology that lets the citizens of the Fediverse tell their stories in a compelling way. I loved hearing the backstories of Mastodon luminaries Ro and The Artist Marcia X, who I've followed since joining Mastodon after Musk's purchase of Twitter, and especially loved that Gehl chose artwork of Marcia X to adorn the cover. My own instance admin from @Scholar.social is quoted repeatedly emphasizing the ethical choices and ideals that made me want to join that instance over others. Gehl's analysis of Mastodon and the Fediverse is incisive and insightful--he articulates as few others have what makes a non-centralized social media platform like Mastodon both challenging and so …

Gehl's analysis of Mastodon and the Fediverse is incisive and insightful--he articulates as few others have what makes a non-centralized social media platform like Mastodon both challenging and so essential to maintain. And quite simply, the book is fun. From references to solarpunk to #Monsterdon, you'll find people, orgs, and instances that you will want to follow and learn more about.
My wife is on a stained glass kick recently and this #Godzilla is amazing.
I love the fire everywhere, atomic breath, and the textured glass for its body.

Now here is a grizzly question for you?
How would the movie look if it was redone when everyone had cell phones?
Imagine the park was having a meeting of nature influencers?
Can you see the instagram shots with cherry blood and bear claws in the background?
People taking selfies at the downed tower?
Girls going back to the tent because they left their microphones, and rangers wondering why they recorded strange theramin sounds?
Summary of Grizzly 1977
Gobs of people in plaid shirts and blue jeans.
No fishing, but counting boobs for girl in underwear in waterfall.
Girl pooping in woods instead of guy peeing in woods. I'll give it half a credit.
tiny cliff.
Ranger station,
Tent's destroyed.
White pickup truck.
Did miss back shot of girl running, but I'll count it as a bingo. What I didn't expect was the bear blowing up!
Great job #Monsterdon !
WOW!
That was a thing now wasn't it?
Anyone up for a cherry Icee?
#Monsterdon
No smoking bear feet?
#Monsterdon
Bear Hug!

Take it down, sounds like famous last words.

It knocked the head off his horse!!
At least it buried him.
#Monsterdon
My bet is the naturalist with the blue hat will bag him, and then die.

What is with this Bonanza like music?
