By way of #introductions, I'm an og Mastodonian but I lost my account. I wrote about my observations on #mastodon last year here on my blurg http://cdevroe.com/2017/04/19/observations-on-mastodon/

Drove with my father and a friend to the Barnes Foundation in #Philadelphia on Saturday to see Berthe Morisot's impressionist paintings. An amazing exhibit that I'm glad I didn't miss.

If I build and move to a new instance, is there an easy way to import my current account into the new instance yet? #Mastodon ?

@Gargron Still no "Quote Toot" feature right? Seems to be a philosophical different you (and/or the community) has I suppose. Such a useful feature on Twitter.

Annie Mueller:

Maintenance tasks—like washing the dishes, folding the clothes—not only keep the basics of life functioning, but they also honor life itself. We are not too good for any of this. We are blessed to be here. Let me remember this as I wipe the table. Let me remember this as I sweep the floor.

Me, in 2011:

Stop thinking of all of the things you’d rather not do in a negative way. Start thinking of fun ways to make these tasks easier and more enjoyable to do. Who

Today, everyone seems to be an expert in: China, market saturation, trade, profit margins, financial forecasts, economies of scale, stock markets, pricing, etc. Perhaps they need to revisit yesterday's topic.
