MetaTalk

In this post Shepherd suggested a book mark exchange and mine arrived today. Thanks to Shepherd for both idea and execution and to everyone who sent in bookmarks. I got a lovely selection, including a library one you can use to track your reading (I mean, I use StoryGraph, but more manual methods are also good) and 3 bookmarks for non Anglophone bookshops. If other people taking part could check in, that would be lovely.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I have some very sad news to share: our fellow mefite Philip Rogosky aka progosk has passed away.

This is a place to share vibes, memes, videos, and other positive news or momentum-producing items about the Harris campaign, if you're so inclined, to keep other threads focused on policy or on track for their particular focus. Here's a fun remix to get it started!

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?

An overdue update about the transition to a non-profit.

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.

It's that time again: Is anyone interested in Metafilter Fantasy (American) Football for the upcoming NFL season? All of the fun of football, translated into numbers a computer can understand!

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.
