Moved to tears by "Let My Testimony Sit Next to Yours," a Larry W. Cook installation at the Brooklyn Museum. In the case are letters telling stories of three generations of absent fathers, the first from Cook's great grandfather, which includes the line "After I hit that white man I knew it was no longer safe for me" and "I pray that Lord forgives me for leaving you such a burden"...

@mcnees That's a lovely story. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Friends in Chicago and Wisconsin, please go vote tomorrow! The mayoral election in Chicago and the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin both feel hugely important.

@mcnees I can respect that.

@mcnees Well, I'm gonna have to check that out, thanks!

@mcnees @user I should check Ivory again and see what it's doing on my end. I'm using Elk on my laptop and it only shows accounts from my instance, with a note at the bottom saying to go to the original account to see the rest. :-(

It's still so complicated to see people's entire following lists and follow folks from different instances. Feels like it's probably one of the big obstacles to folks actually using Mastodon even after they've set up their accounts. I'm sure many smart people are working on this... anyone know if any of the new clients/apps address this?

@mcnees Just curious - why can't they ship Samoas and Toffee-tastic?

okay time to make words and sentences #writing

Just tried to type my iPad passcode into the microwave. I have got to get more sleep this weekend.
