I love #Mastodon, but it's still difficult to convince journalists to come here. Do you think there's advice or ideas that would help persuade them to give the #fediverse a try? #JournoLife #journalism

I'm fucking around at work so I turned this #poll into a #visualization. Unfortunately, Flourish is too quick so I didn't waste nearly enough time doing this. https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/14675854/

It's been a little quiet around here because I took a long weekend for my mental health after working through a lot of my previous "week off." The joys of taking "time off" as a journalist.
Feeling refreshed and glad to be back doing what I do. #JournoLife
The Texas Observer will close for a long weekend, including Monday and Tuesday, because of the July 4th Independence Day weekend.
Our Digital Editor Kit @oconnell is taking some much needed vacation time all next week, so our Editor in Chief & Head Baker @gabrielarana will take over tooting duties on this account next week.

Organizers say it could be just the beginning of #labor action around the #media megacorp: https://www.texasobserver.org/gannett-strike-journalists-union-newsguild/
