We rode the new #Milwaukee#BRT bus downtown to the Lakefront Art Festival. We were very impressed with the ride. It was fast. The drivers were terrific AND, it was free. That’s hard to beat. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
@brandonjbrown@rasterweb It's sort of like a mashup of Mastodon and Reddit. It is federated, so no one person owns it and it can interoperate with things like Mastodon and Pixelfed. You can use kbin to follow non-kbin users but you can also use it in the same way people use reddit.
@rasterweb I had the same thought early on. At first, I thought that it might be unwilling to let me add mods due to load issues but I'm starting to think that kbin might just be super alpha.

@diazona@aburtch@bookstodon but I do read very quickly, and usually finish at least one book per flight, and getting to swap those out at a bookstore that's not just a boring airport bookstore but one with character informed by the tastes of travelers and the owner instead of just what's most popular on the current NYT best seller list sounds like heaven to me.
depends on how long you're away and how much you're on planes. i started doing ebooks when many of my flights were multi-hop and 8+ hours transit. i couldn't carry enough books and hated having to just leave books behind to make space for whatever grim selection i could find at an airport.
my library has a great ebook selection so i could load up with a dozen books and check out more every stop with wifi.
while i still prefer physical books when i'm home, ebooks definitely have a place in my life now.
