@SouthwestAir we just changed our schedule to add one day on each end of our trip to get back on nonstop flights. Please, PLEASE don't cancel those flights too. Mimi will be devastated.

Hey @SouthwestAir why are you canceling the one direct flight between OAK and BWI, and back, during the busiest travel week of the year? I told my mom I'd bring my family back to MD for Thanksgiving BECAUSE OF THOSE FLIGHTS. She's gonna be very upset when we don't show up.

@News24680 From a different angle…

It’s a call for us all to reach out to people and causes in need – and make a difference through acts of love, compassion and goodwill.

On Saturday we (Natalie, Connor, Avery, and I) had the honor and privilege to meet Martin Luther King III and his immediate family during a pre-kickoff event for this five-year campaign.

Now we can be a part of this legacy too!

@TahoeWeather I haven't been out your way for a few months . . . is there anything still left from last season. Tippy tops of north faces, perhaps?

[Tim Staines on Mastodon: @[email protected] @Staines]

I'm keeping this handle going though, because Mastodon isn't a full replacement for Twitter. The huge user base here enables real-time reporting and information dissemination that doesn't exist yet there. So I've deleted ~15 years of tweets and will mostly be a lurker now.

[Tim Staines on Mastodon: @[email protected] @Staines]

Mastodon is like Twitter was (for me), from 2008 through about 2012. The people share all kinds of things I find interesting, the chronological timeline feels right, and I'm not being fed by an algorithm that influences me to spend more time than I want on the platform.

[Tim Staines on Mastodon: @[email protected] @Staines]

@chiropractic That vibe is present on Mastodon. I've found most people there are willing to engage . . . even the ones with hefty followings. Very much reminds me of early Twitter, where everyone basically had the same status: Early Adopter. A pre-influencer scene, for sure.
