This soggy dog wants to know whether #GOTV is over yet. #YesOnO yes on @asva4ccsf

Joining #mastadon? Most confusing = server choice. Try #Fediverse, which will tell you where ppl you follow or who follow you are landing. (Useful 🧵 got me started + thx @evan_greer for the Fediverse tip!)

Right. As a heavy tweeter/content creator who is now maintaining BOTH a Twitter and Mastodon presence, here is a short guide to what I have set up, how to do it and lessons I've learned, for others.

TLDR: It's been WAY less hassle than I expected thanks to tips from followers /1

VOTE YES on O. Open doors for better jobs. We need funding for essential workforce training programs and ESL courses.

#yesonO City College of San Francisco needs your help. Invest in #CCSF. Vote bc our future depends on it. 🗳️❤️🌁

[CCSFStudentSays @CCSFStudentsays]

Vick Chung consistently advocated for students. As #CCSF Student Trustee, they advocated for accessibility - language, DSPS, etc.

Vote @vickchung4ccsf & @asva4ccsf City College Board.

Don’t leave this part of the ballot blank #SF. Vote with #ccsfstudents. #SanFrancisco

@LoveStats @saragoldrickrab @vickchung4ccsf @FitzTheReporter @asva4ccsf @OfficialCCSF I haven’t seen anybody reminiscing about that moment when folks were jumping the Facebook ship for ‘ello (rip?). That was short lived. But an alternative would be lovely.

[alias messier believes in free higher ed @ampersand]

Are we all gonna have to head to LinkedIn? I dunno but great stuff this morning from @vickchung4ccsf @saragoldrickrab @FitzTheReporter! We need #YesonO and new leadership with @asva4ccsf for a stronger @OfficialCCSF and a brighter future for SF’s students.

TIL that meeting The Bunny over a failed chicken paprikash for 40ish was due to his reading of Dracula. “Mem., get recipe for Mina.” #romance

An important message from @nkjemisin.

The teachers, counselors, & librarians of @OfficialCCSF urge you to vote yes on Proposition O & for Vick Chung, Adolfo Velasquez, Susan Solomon, & Anita Martinez for Community College Board. Invest in City College for a brighter San Francisco! Pass it on- #YesOnO

@theguardsman @CindyChanArt @CASOSVote @SFElections @theguardsman this is a beautiful illustration from #CindyChan but it misses an essential point: most of the $$$ comes from large commercial properties, which aren’t represented here. “Larger buildings” = Bank of America & Trinity Tower! #YesOnO

Today marks 30 years of feeling mostly as lucky as that coffee lady everybody #onhere’s mad at. Don’t tell the haters: still in love.
