If you haven't read "The Color of Law," you should, especially if you're a city councilmember. It explains why our land use and zoning policies, among other things, are so messed up.

Spoiler alert: It's #racism.

If you're in the #Seattle area, I can lend you my copy.

Tip 2 to the new #twitterrefugees:

Including a semi-real #name and #profile #picture will increase the likelihood that another #mastodonite (#fediverserati?) will engage with you.

It also makes this place way friendlier than the #troll-space called #twitter.

Tip to the new #twitterrefugees:

#favourite (aka #favorite aka #like) doesn't work the same way as in #twitter.

There are no algorithms that automatically show the liked #toot to your connections (I don't like the word #followers)

You'll actually have to tap/click on #boost (aka #retweet) a post that you like so that your connections will see it.
