If you are following someone on Mastodon whom you’d like to share for Micro Monday, that is totally cool. 🐘
I’ll start:
I follow @fraying@xoxo.zone, Derek Powazek, who is a community designer and farmer. He’s got turkeys, which makes this week bittersweet.
I look forward to seeing your Micro Monday recommendations! They’ll be shared in Discover, and will also be included in the special Micro Monday feed.
If you are new to Micro.blog and are wondering what Micro Monday is, here’s a description!
It’s Micro Monday again, and this week’s podcast episode features @manton answering your questions.
And one of my questions, the answer to which becomes bit of a rabbit hole on images, memes, and replies…
. @kaa A couple of screenshots from Discover > Search to find a Mastodon user. Helpful?
Orphan Black is on sale for just $30 on iTunes. This is $0.60 an episode, which is really too cheap!
Get this for your holiday binge watching, and you can follow along spoiler-free with me and @mrssoup on SestraCast!

The kilogram is in the news, and it reminds me of the song “Kilogram” by my favorite musical nerd sister duo, The Doubleclicks. Warning: You might find yourself feeling sad for that kilogram in France. youtu.be/VHd4HPmz5…
The new episode of @theweeklyreview is focused on staying sane during the holidays. And with Thanksgiving coming up, @jamesdempsey and I also take a moment to be thankful: for the listeners and friends who make this podcast possible, and for our favorite software too!
Podcast production first: nodding off while editing. 😴 It looks like I need to go to bed and finish editing @theweeklyreview in the morning. Sorry for the delay.
I learned about the 1947 Partition of India from Gandhi, the film released in 1983. As far as I can tell, that’s the last time that this massively wrenching historical event was covered in popular culture, until Doctor Who: “Demons of the Punjab” 35 years later.
I’m still experimenting with the new Mastodon options. I’ve been on mastodon.social and now on zeppelin.flights. Before I make @jean@micro.welltempered.net my new HQ there, I’m trying to understand it all. For starters, just following people who are ONLY on Mastodon from M.b.
The 2019 World Naked Bike Ride Portland date will be for June 29.

As a Lyft driver, I just don’t want to get stuck behind hundred of these cyclists, so I do like to put it on my calendar.
I’m compiling the Micro Monday episode Q&A questions for @manton now. We have room for 1 or 2 more, but I need them in the next 30 minutes. (Reply to this post, thx.)
I’m looking forward to this episode. You all have submitted some excellent questions!
Last chance: get your questions in for the Manton Q&A episode of Micro Monday. We’ll record at noon Central Time (U.S)
Send me your questions! @-reply, email jean@micro.blog or use this form.
At karaoke, they have a handy version of Happy Birthday 🎂 in the list, of course. We are having another awesome @verso birthday celebration.
Kellyoke! November edition of Core Audio Karaoke usually coincides with @verso’s birthday week. We are at @voiceboxpdx East and will likely be here until midnight. And there are cupcakes. 🎉🎂🎤
We’re going to do another episode of Jean Asks Manton Your Questions for the next Micro Monday. We did the last one in August, and there are LOTS of new Micro.blog features since then.
Send me your questions! @-reply, email jean@micro.blog or use this form.
I was the guest on The Incomparable’s Doctor Who Flashcast this week. Demons Of The Punjab is a stunning episode, which made it a delight to discuss, but also a bit intimidating, because I wanted to do it justice.
For Winston, birthday greetings, @cleverdevil
On Wednesday, I’ll be recording a special episode of Micro Monday with @manton I’ll be doing a Q&A with him, so it’s a good chance to ask those questions about Micro.blog, microcasting, photoblogging and whither social media! Post your questions, or use this form.
Thanks!
The latest Micro @monday Microcast features @sanspoint Give it a listen! You will learn something about competitive air guitar. How many podcasts can say that? 🎸
Who do you recommend we follow on Micro Monday? (If you are wondering what Micro Monday is, here is a short description!)
On Veterans Day, I think about my dad in the Army. So young. Then I think of the millions, also so young, in a war that officially ended 100 years ago today. 11/11/18
(I’m not sure why the Scottish flag 🏴 turned black everywhere my post appears, except on my own blog. Honestly, no slight intended to the homeland of my ancestors.)
I just learned* that @rosemaryorchard is coming toSeattle for PodCon (Jan. 19-20). I’ll be there. @jamesdempsey will be there. Anyone else from Micro.blog planning to come? I could record Micro Monday episodes!
I need to go to Scotland already. 🏴
The Outlaw King launches, Scotland braces for the Netflix effect.
Today is the day between the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht and the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.
In 1938, as people gathered to mark the 20th anniversary of the end of the World War, did they realize the events in Germany signalled the next war had already begun?
