Fediverse reading community
I am not a big reader any more – I do blame the internet and doom scrolling and the instant gratification/dopamine reward. I am trying to be better and after dipping into Goodreads found that I could do it in a more fedi-friendly way. I read a mix of politics, leadership and political fiction.
Mastodon needs list maker
As my use of the #fediverse was expanding, and without algorithms telling me what to see I decided to create lists of my followed depending if I wanted to see local information, politics, 2SLGBTQ views, tech stuff etc etc.
Unfortunately you cannot import lists into my new instance so the work was rather in vain – it also took ages.
Some clever bean should create a drag and drop tool to create lists and drop followees into them.

Turn the radio on
If you use Amazon Alexa speakers I heartily recommend the radio app Radio Browser which is an Aelxa “skill”.
It takes the list of radio stations from https://www.radio-browser.info and so lists many that are not normally available regionally (and you can add your own like I did for CBC Halifax)
I enjoyed it more than the Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. Listen to your emotions and practice Radical Emotional Acceptance (REA) and drop your “F*ck Shields” :
