Peaceful day today.
@z428 good point. I like that I can get my science news in one place. I also like the ux. Still getting used to it, but it seems like the most efficient way to keep up to date with current publications.
@z428 I’m giving Feedly a shot! Not sure what to think just yet
tried to make a bot based on freud and nietzsche

Most importantly, stop putting institutional events on Facebook, stop using it at universities, stop making participation in Facebook mandatory through your institutional, organization, and activist roles. You can be online, and social, and connected without supporting Facebook.
seriously though if you put just an image with a . just add a description on the image. just imagine the people who can't see it. must be so frustrating. put a description. and also helps indexing or whatever

@guerrillablack Great thread. :)
@jringram It’s hard to achieve balance, I’ll admit. I don’t have crossover categories as yet. I am thinking of counting podcasts in addition to my reading.
As for philosophy texts, one of my most well-loved (falling apart) books is the Ancilla to the Pre-Socratic Philosophers, translations by Kathleen Freeman. I keep coming back to it because I find some of the presocratic ideas transmit deeply through other philosophers’ writings. There’s more, but I could go on a while. :)

Folks, the stuff we're working on matters. We need to bring social media underground. Put users in control.
@jringram I break them down into two categories: one for school (which consists of philosophy papers and texts) and one for interest (mainly science, programming, and other nonfiction). It’s helpful for me to divide them this way so I can maintain a balance, and keep up my motivation to read more.
