thisfinecrewAnother week in the resistance.
Housekeeping
Is anyone out there interested in helping us tag posts? That seems to be the area where we’re falling down the most.
Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.
thisfinecrew discussion about where to put your energy has thoughts on philosophies and suggestions for coping with too many things being bad. Also, I proposed setting up something like Topic Teams in case people wanted to organize into smaller groups to track one topic. Is there interest in that? If so, I'll set up a post. That may also be easier to then be able to track what other resistence groups are doing with respect to each topic and what may be most useful in terms of putting pressure on politicians. Thoughts?

Date: 2017-03-08 06:03 pm (UTC)We have quite a backlog of past posts that aren't tagged, so if you feel up to working through some of those, that would be great. Or if you could just keep on top of tagging new posts as they're made, that would also be really helpful!
Re: tagging
Date: 2017-03-08 11:19 pm (UTC)I can also try to keep on top of tagging new posts, but expect one-day delays about once a week, and occasional longer gaps when I leave town.
