    If you like to listen to jazz music, you should already know something about #CharlieParker aka #TheBird but even if you think you know everything that you need to know about him, here's a link to a very nice primer about him (with audio hyperlinks) printed in the #NYTimes that may tell you more . . .

    Jimi Hendrix Opens for The Monkees on a 1967 Tour; Then Flips Off the Crowd and Quits
    It’s easy to dismiss The Monkees. Critics and listeners have been doing it since the sixties, although the band has also come in for its share of reappraisals, particularly for their psych-rock album Head.

  5. I don't know what kind of bird this is, but this is the disapproving look I imagine coming from every OP who's post I've commented on.

  6. If you want to post on #mastodon and tweet the same info to #TheBird, you can now do that with @buffer Write a post once, post to both platforms. Even edit each separately for platform-specific mods. Or schedule each post for a future date and time. Clean interface (see their video.) Free for 2 social media, yearly fee if you want more accounts, added analytics, etc. Info at buffer.com. Previously we could do duplicate posts (not other features) with Moa Party, now gone.

  7. @Susanbee @ozzy @eirliani I think ppl’s experiences on #thebird are very individual - at least the change of ownership, when #musk began redesigning the space in his own image. Before that, my experience there was great, but I concertedly stayed away from politics and partisanship. It was pretty possible to make that a whole separate Tw, if that makes sense. Having said that, I know ppl who had horrible experiences there, having done nothing to spark them.

  8. What's it like over on #thebird these days? I have no intention of returning, but would like to know if the shit has hit the fan or not.

  9. Some folks on here ranting and mentioning the “Bird” like it was an Ex Lover. 😂🫠

  11. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to post about here. I left #TheBird in April when it became clear it would be bought. Since then it’s actually been pretty nice not to be so heavily engaged with daily microblogging, but there is stuff I want to share. My journey as part of our departmental #dei committee, the advances and cool things we’re learning rebuilding the #Neotoma #Paleoecology database R package, other #programming stuff… EarthCube thingy-things… all that stuff.

  14. @miriamboon My reading of the social context of mastodon is that, YES, it's a good idea to put in a content warning. People migrating here from #thebird have been surprised by the level of content moderation for seemingly straightforward statements of feelings & interests.

  16. @kathygriffin Let's never lose sight that #Musk is destroying people's lives and livelihoods with his power trip. #TheBird #Twitter It's not just a social media site. It's a place of employment for thousands who will be unemployed.

  18. @kathygriffin Imagine having the money of God and yet lack the will to do good with it. Instead to use one's status to unduly destroy the lives of others. #Musk deserves to go broke. #Twitter #Thebird

  19. at this point (after a few good rounds of Scotch - Balvenie American Oak for those interested) I don't really care if Twitter implodes or finds a way to resurect itself. I'm just overjoyed that we're all finding each other here and contributing to something new and wonderful!

  20. CW: corporate social media

    So I've now requested data dumps from FB, Insta, and LinkedIn.

    I'm preparing to exit all three.

    The only one I used somewhat effectively was #thebird, and now that I've nuked that account, the other three just seem like detritus.

    Byeeeeeeee.
