We're still working out all the permission/security/distribution/connection/ActivityPub aspects of (streams), so while my wife and I both
thought this post would appear on my Mastodon feed it did not. This "share" is an attempt to allow me to republish her post from my Mastodon account.
Hello, My Name IsI'm going to back up a bit and talk about why I started posting.
I have lots of conversations with people I know, and also with people I don't know. Last night on the A train, on my way to a big rally for Zohran Mamdani in Brooklyn I encountered (for the third time in a week or so) Kid Whiz busking. He starts out declaring "I am not good." You may have seen him. Anyway, last night, I gave him a dollar and told him that I've seen him so many times I thought I should know his name! He told me his real name and I introduced myself. I'm sure I'll see him again. I hope so. He makes me smile as he jumps around and tosses around his hat, which always lands on his head! (See link below)
But I digress.
I introduce myself to people more and more lately, for a couple of reasons. These days I need to feel connected to other people more than ever AND I want to tell people about Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign for
A City We Can Afford. That was the theme of the rally last night. More on that later!
I'm posting, not because I know all the answers (OMG, no!) but because I want to have more conversations with the people I know and with those I have yet to meet. I'm hoping that this platform will facilitate conversations in addition to the ones that happen by chance in person.
