@lapis aaah thats so much! that sucks :(
yay for no overdue fines tho at least
@yesterdaychild aw don’t be embarrassed! its still a good q even if it didn’t quite work like you expected
@yesterdaychild i do think its super sweet that fedi-army refuses to be guilty about BTS tho 💜
Mastodon how to question
@kiesa havent used it personally but https://phanpy.social allows for account switching, and i’ve seen a few people promoting it as having some tweetdeck-esque features (apparently you can add the extra columns you want in “shortcut settings”)
following lists without following the people on those lists is intentionally impossible though
@runpunkrun *in* just raisins are mandatory (well and carrot i guess haha) but i am firmly in favor of the “sides of the cake’s icing are covered in a layer of chopped nuts” as the Superior Carrot Cake Aesthetic
@lapis you have a fee for interlibrary loans??
@Glittery aaahhh I love this fic! u have excellent taste
@ox @twistylittlepassages general purpose/non fandom specific tags are indeed very handy for that! i’ve paged through a few of them at various points for various reasons
well, feel free to ping me if you ever have questions while looking for/tagging fic :)
@twistylittlepassages @ox hahaha yes i suppose that is true
what are you looking for?
@asya i feel that :( *brings you tea*
@asya yeah thats why i haven’t done it either
@asya same 😔
will trade making you dinner for the vacuuming i’ve been putting off?
@Forestofglory one of my faves 💛
@Mintkitten07 this is lovely! 💜
re: OTW Board meeting thread
A random list of things the board could do to improve their meeting processes
1) announcing meetings in advance anywhere but twitter (and their secret unadvertised calendar which still gets them less than a week ahead usually)
2) announcing agenda items in advance literally anywhere
3) actually linking (and/or providing copies of) the relevant actions during "actions taken since last meeting" so people can read the things they're commenting on
4) pre-typing all of the preplanned agenda stuff that doesn't actually involve any discussion so we can get through it faster
5) giving attendees somewhere to submit questions in advance, so the board can prepare answers
6) giving attendees somewhere to submit relevant questions & comments about the meeting itself as it progresses
7) even sorta pretending that this is an actual meeting with real votes instead of the blatant zero discussion immediate unanimous vote bs???
8) providing copies of materials being voted on before the vote, so that people have a chance to raise last minute concerns (even better, weeklong public comment period before actual meeting!)
9) dropping the condescending "please email the board" notes until such a time as they've actually answered their existing backlog, so that the chat doesn't *immediately* fill up with 5-10 "uh i asked a question 4 months ago and never got a response..."
@kurt …what is the purpose of the nametag if people aren’t supposed to use it?
