My #FediForumFriday priority this week is a nudge that you can help @phillycodehound keep the Fediverse resources site up to date by sending him great resources to link to and letting him know if one is defunct now so it can be removed.
And you can use the website (fediverseresources.com/) to help get your friends onto the Fediverse too by sending them the link!
p.s. "The Good News and Bad News about Mastodon for Creators [and How To Get Started]" is a dead link.

thanks for the reminder that Trump will try to invalidate millions of votes in order to not lose the House or Senate during the midterms.
He should be impeached and face new charges & liability, as the abuse of rights is not an official duty of the president.
He WILL do ANYTHING to avoid jail.
I expect a last minute executive order making REAL-ID a requirement to vote, which most poor people do not have because we do not fly regularly.
LAWLESS. It isn't over until 47 is impeached.

We all laughed that #Trump went to see Les Miserables of all possible shows at the Kennedy Center. But somebody said yesterday, "Nobody should be going there!"
I agreed, but then I saw this video. Now I'm of two minds; clearly most people there understood the assignment.

It's my birthday weekend, and it'll be pretty relaxed. I'm teaching a class on Saturday on research, and I'm covering a shift in Teen Services at one of my libraries on Sunday. We also have a video date with my Canadian family. We might also see one of my BFFs and her husband. Maybe gardening as well if the weather is good? Ope! Looks like I've got a lot going on!
What are your plans?
