Reposting this great thread from @bcdreyer.social on the etiquette of social media responses. And pinning.

Benjamin Dreyer @bcdreyer.social · Jul 2

7. Don't quoteskeet anyone to dunk on what they just said unless you're doing it with the full understanding that they are quite likely to detach their skeet from yours and then block you.

Benjamin Dreyer @bcdreyer.social · Jul 2

1. Don't snitch-tag.
2. Don't explain to people what they just said.
3. Don't "correct" people's jokes.
4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts.
5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts.
6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know.

The rest is commentary.

I live in Missouri and I have loved ones who benefitted greatly from our state’s PUBLIC special ed preschool programs (once championed by Republicans—those people were very different not so long ago). Gonna bring this up to the board of ed. What the federal regime won’t do, we have to do locally.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Violet webcap (Cortinarius violaceus) growing under gorse today near the Devil’s Punchbowl in Surrey. An absolute stunner of a mushroom and nationally rare - it’s always good to see these beauties.

I’m still a little…I don’t know. Absolutely befuddled by the writer posting about the “slow rise of fascism” in America. Like if Mussolini was marching on Rome and Eugenio Montale was sighing over the slow rise of fascism in Italy. What.

Fascism is here. Openly. How we write about it matters.

Democrats should take note. Greene, like a number of Republicans (and AOC, too), just say their piece and don’t have a pre-planned posture or tone. They just mouth off—and it’s authentic. That’s the way to communicate. (Talking to you Spanberger, Schumer, etc.)

I've never seen a picture of Husker Du where they looked like they enjoyed each other's company or wanted to be taking the picture. Really adds to the mystique.

This morning I am trying to refocus on constructive things. Praying to resist the temptation to react to what the regime does. I know what they do. What am I doing?—that's the important thing.

So beautifully said. Everyone with direct action experience says don’t sign up, keep the traceable footprint as light as possible. I’m a newbie at direct action but trying to learn from people who know what they are doing.

She’s running to take back the seat she would have kept handily without shenanigans from the STL Democratic party and a A*PAC. I’m all in for this. www.coribush.org

She’s super smart, but not in the ways that matter when you must interact with lots of people. (I know our current prez is really nasty, but it’s part of his cult leader status—others can’t pull it off). I’m sure California has a better option or two.

Dana Delibovi @danadelibovi.bsky.social · 4d

I am reposting this from @leftistlawyer.com because there are people on here who think it’s “brave” to RSVP with your email to a protest. But in reality, it’s foolish. Show up but don’t sign up.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 6d

Also, for the same reason:

NEVER sign up for or RSVP to a protest. I don't care who is running it. Don't do it.

NEVER bring your phone to a protest or action and if you absolutely must, disable all location services and biometrics.

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 6d

Reminder that everything you post can be seen by law enforcement.

Be smart, especially now, and don't snitch on yourself. Posting specifics about actions or promoting violence on social media is just a bad idea. There's a reason organizers and activists use Signal. You can't resist from a cage.

Dana Delibovi @danadelibovi.bsky.social · 4d

That is simply not true!

Dana Delibovi @danadelibovi.bsky.social · 4d

Why is it spineless to attend without signing up? That just seems smart. Once more—I am not saying don’t show up. I am saying don’t sign up, which is the advice of people very experienced at this.
