a couple formulations i saw recently and liked:
- “hi dear class:” as a message opening. in my experience, course messages often omit greetings entirely.
- “merry DOB” as a birthday message.

plastic, questionable marketing
someone sent me a mailer that has "eco > LITE" prominently printed on it... but it has a plastic bubble liner and gives no indication that the paper exterior is recycled or that any of it is recyclable or biodegradable

Every time I have mentioned the excellent social reading network @bookwyrm, people have replied or messaged asking if there is a film & TV version. I'm not exaggerating, it is every single time, and different people each time.
If there are any developers out there looking for Fediverse ideas, please do a film & TV version of BookWyrm! (More info about BookWyrm here by the way: https://joinbookwyrm.com)
Film data is (I think) available freely from Wikidata, so that side shouldn't be an issue?
There is demand for a federated film review site, its users are just waiting for it to come into existence.

i feel like the end of a school term is often portrayed as jubilant but there’s also something sad and scary about seeing your routines come to a sudden halt
