MetaTalk

So I bought a pack of "Twist of Fate" Twisties here in Melbourne AU - and the packaging tells you to "open the Meta Filter".

MetaFilter turned 25 this year and we're excited to be kicking off our annual fundraiser! Over the past year, we've continued to stabilize the site’s finances and started investing in new technology by rebuilding the entire site. Now, to keep the site running smoothly and keep making improvements, we rely on the generous donations of our community.

Is there a better time to share your cute pet pics of you favorite animal shots, stories, or videos? It don't think so, because this time we're doing it as part of this year's Fundraiser. Come share, celebrate and help MeFi move forward with your support!

Recently I've come across two online 'events' that I thought mefis might be interested in. IRL doesn't seem like the place to share them because they are not In Real Life. is there a place? If not, could there be?

FPPs often say something like "New bird spotted in the EastWest Territory" or whatever and I have no clue of what they're talking about.

Using the information from several recent posts about how to support voter turnout in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, I have created a VotingSupport page in Metafilter Wiki that lists specific organizations that work to educate and support voters. If you are looking for somewhere to volunteer, donate, or get help in voting, I hope you will take a look at this page.

Kind of a summer project for myself. Selfishly, I'd love to have cool bookmarks from bookstores from across North America and maybe the world!

I have a suggestion for community communication standards for posts such as the one on the shootings at Trump’s July 13 rally that make many of our fellow Mefites highly anxious.

I'd like information and a discussion on community members chatting with each other, along with apprehension about making FPPs.

From the Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure at UMass Amherst: “MetaFilter turns 25 this month, a shining beacon of the Good Web. Reluctant owner Jessamyn West tells us how rusty tech and vibrant community keeps it vital.” [Elsewhere: MetaFilter: a time capsule from another internet]

This year's June Solstice came earlier than it has for 228 years, falling at 20:51 on 20 June UTC. The solstice is considered a time to pause, reflect and celebrate (for those in the Southern Hemisphere) the return of the sun. What are you reflecting on and hoping for over the time between solstices? For some, it's going to be a period of political turbulence, but let's put aside politics (hard, but I know you can do it!) for a change and reflect on the rest of our lives for a bit.
