Live reporting updates no longer going to x/Twitter

Live reporting updates no
longer posting to x/Twitter

Live reporting will continue from Town and School meeting but effectively immediately will no longer be posted to Twitter/X.

This has been a developing scenario but I am now convinced that there is no benefit to posting there. 

You can find updates after the meeting on Facebook. Instagram has been added to that distribution.

I am currently evaluating the use of @Threads for the live meeting posts, or a return to updating the webpage at franklinmatters.org/ (which would also likely mean bringing my laptop back to meetings. Ah, choices...).

"Every school is a wound that learned to speak"

"Stoicism came from a shipwreck.

Buddhism from a prince who saw death for the first time.

Existentialism from an occupied city.

Nihilism from a generation promised change and handed nothing.

Philosophy doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from collapse.

Every school is a wound that learned to speak."
