If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

@thecrushedviolet @chad That’s what I’ve always wondered: what does your soap taste like and why are you eating it?

Moin Leute, ich brauch mal ein bisschen Fedipower. Wir wollen in Gelsenkirchen ja am Sonntag das erste mal selber eine Di.Day Veranstaltung abhalten. Hat irgendeiner von euch vielleicht schon eine fertige Präsentation welche die Ziele etc, des Di.Day erklärt die man zur Verfügung stellen kann?Diese Arbeit muss man ggf. ja nicht mehrfach machen.Bitte boosten wenn es nichts ausmacht#fedipower #diday #didit #dutgemacht #pleaseboost #boostok

@sounddrill Thank you for your interest!Start by regularly attending the mapping parties, and actively mapping outside them. That way, you can become an experienced mapper who can mentor newbies.You can also talk to the organizers and help them find venues in your part of town.Inviting college students and members of other communities (e.g. WhyLoiter) is also helpful.
