“The art of not #reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical #pamphlet, or #novel, or #poem is making a great #commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A #precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for #life is short.”

“Why are you making so much of a #commotion and screamingly #weeping? #TIBTM59

I live in central Virginia— outside of #cville I do #communitybuilding with an emphasis on #foodsecurity and #antiracism actions. I make #art and #commotion. I have #goats, #chickens, #geese and other #animals. I don’t post much, but I like to read what smart people have to say— particularly about dumb stuff. #introduction

#Abbreviationodon question...

Are some folks using #commodon for "communication via Mastodon" while others are using it for "computer science on Mastodon"? Are some using it for "computational communication" crossover posts only? Or for academic "communication studies" on Mastodon?

Or are some folks just caught up in all of the excitement and misspelling #commotion?
