Idea for an unconference: everybody brings an unsent tweet to talk about for 10-20 minutes. x.com/axbom/status/1…

@firebethfox Hums, like chums and mums, is my thinking :)
↪ Replying to @WolfgangBremer
@WolfgangBremer The clearest pattern is my worry about how they will be received and whether or not I am prepared to manage responding to misunderstandings. Or worse, I really am an idiot. 😬
↪ Replying to @classen_shannon
@classen_shannon Haha. I'll keep you posted. :)
I think all my unsent tweets would be good input in a therapy session...

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Ah, perfect timing. 🙏

@Eduardo_Rich @5u5anCarey Haha, no worries. Nothing about Twitter's threading is helpful.

@Eduardo_Rich @5u5anCarey I'm just happy I now have the word hum to use in conversation with James 😁

@Eduardo_Rich @5u5anCarey Yeah I heard this yesterday. It's the biggest obstacle for me to overcome 😂😬.
Languages are of course full of words with multiple meanings. Bark, nails, jam, mine...
Interview guide after presenting a design suggestion.
1. What do you like most about what you saw?
2. Is there anything you believe could become a problem?
3. What are you most worried about in future changes?
4. What are you looking forward to?
Focus on who you are asking.
↪ Replying to @Pasquale_Stella
@Pasquale_Stella Agree. I like the idea of a new word, just to stress the intent of inclusion.
↪ Replying to @round
@round To avoid miscommunication I would certainly appreciate if people specified what music I should be listening to while partaking in their distinguished word oeuvres.
[Music: The Nutcracker. Specifically the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.]
↪ Replying to @Pasquale_Stella
@Pasquale_Stella I would personally be totally on board with this.
↪ Replying to @HowarthEdge
@SSHowarth @MissIG_Geek Damnit! At least I learned a new bit of slang.
Here's a podcast you should be listening to if you're interested in US politics (and right now you should be). Really, though, they cover global affairs. The absolutely brilliant and passionate hosts Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa are experts on authoritarian states. They had Ukraine figured out a long time ago. What you'll learn here will haunt your nightmares though. But do listen. Sorry, not sorry.

If you decide to support them through Patreon there is some excellent bonus content as well.

@SSHowarth @MissIG_Geek 😁 I hear you, but I'm sticking to hums. Easier for everyone to say and quicker to roll off the tongue. Watch me globalize this! 😂
