Ah yes, that day when ALL the chaos hit the whirling apparatus! Definitely one of those stories that should be told... and posted for posterity!

Sadly, you are quite right about that. "Multiple guess" rules the day... thinking is out. Very sad...

Yes, pretty much like that.

I came to Hive (its predecessor) in 2017 because I was fed up and tired with the atmosphere and strident attitudes I kept seeing on Facebook... mostly one person attacking an other over what they believed;

And that is, indeed, often the "price" of not having what we feel is a safe and welcoming space: We self-censor. And then those thoughts and ideas never find release. Judgment happens all the

It's nice to know there still are truly remote beaches out there. Our beaches here (Washington state, Olympic Peninsula) aren't exactly crowded, but the proximity to Great Seattle's 4 million people (and

Yes, Covid definitely destroyed a lot of things for a lot of people! Merry Christmas to you, as well!
