A note on #Plushtodon. The stuffed toy isn't a representation of "the one" Mastodon. It's "a" Mastodon. When you get yours, you can pick their name and pronouns! Mine is a boy 🙂

Bumped into @Gargron in @waxandbeans . Good discussion and played a good album.

What a day. We are still fundraising fiercely at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. I took time to set up #MastodonBlueWave at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodonbluewave. But what has kept me busiest - apart from getting ready for out-of-town visitors - is that I’m starting to make modest inroads with people in and adjacent to the #HarrisForPresident campaign. This is a painstaking process, lots of emails, calls, texts, everybody sounding each other out. 1/

In the #macOS App Store in the "Mac Essentials" story, there is a #Mastodon client listed under "Indispensable apps and tools."

Pretty cool to see Mastodon getting that kind of recognition!

Check it out, #MastodonForHarris has raised over $250,000 in 2 days. That's more than a quarter million dollars. @heidilifeldman is an effective fundraiser.
