How's your week going Beehaw? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] 4 points 8 months ago

I started the day yesterday feeling very sad. As I was going back and forth from my desk to a conference room trying to coordinate hearing/vision testing in the high school I work at, the front desk ladies' playlist had Sade's "Smooth Operator" going on and it made my day. I started dancing in the halls and the front desk ladies went "ayyyy, ayyyy, ayyy". You can do all things through "ayyyy" that strengthen you. I love working in a school.

    Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotion (www.theguardian.com)
     

    Keep it going, guys.

    Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotion Sarah Wynn-Williams’s account of her seven years as a Facebook executive is number one on the New York Times bestseller list and has flown off the shelves in the UK

    An exposé by a former employee of Meta has become a bestseller despite the social media company banning the author from promoting the book.

    Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, topped the New York Times bestseller chart and will be fourth on the Sunday Times nonfiction hardback chart this weekend.

    The book “sold a staggering 1,000 hardbacks a day in the first three days on sale in the UK, despite Meta’s legal tactics to silence the book’s author”, said Joanna Prior, CEO of publisher Pan Macmillan. “This early success is a triumph against Meta’s attempt to stop the publication of this book.”

    Hullo! New to Beehaw! Show Me Your Nails! (beehaw.org)
     

    Hi! I'm newer to the Fediverse and brand new to Beehaw. I've used Reddit for years, but I'm seeking greener shores as big tech has gotten real weird.

    When I'm not reading, attempting to be a guitarist or fooling with fountain pens, I like to paint my nails! Do I color in the lines? No. Do I do a perfect job? Also no. But I pick fun colors and always, always, always add glitter. Did you color your nails? I wanna see!

    (Side bar, I low-key wish the Fediverse had more places for beauty inspo. Let's see pretty nails, hair and outfits, please!)
