My Wishes page got me to thinking. Why not a quotes page?
In the spirit of the emoji page provided by @burk - I have set up a ‘wishes’ page … let me know what you would like to see for micro.blog
Listening to @manton and @danielpunkass chatting … and I am confused … how are there active people on the platform posting away and not paying …. aren’t you just stopped from posting after the 2 week trial is over?

Wavelength clarification question.
I can record and assemble my micro.cast in wavelength ... no charge.
BUT if I want to publish it - the only place is to micro.blog ... correct?
To publish to existing blog is another $5 per month - or I do a new blog for $10.

Old pieces now - but let’s not forget the connections that don’t seem to be too much reported by the ‘dishonest media’ on Betsy.
Betsy DeVos’s brother, Erik Prince, the founder of the mercenary firm Blackwater, has been quietly advising Trump’s transition team, including helping vet Cabinet picks.
from Here and
She is the daughter of Edgar Prince, who founded the Michigan-based Prince Corporation, an auto parts business that sold for $1.35 billion in 1996; she also married into the massive Amway fortune by marrying Dick DeVos, whose father co-founded that company.
Yup, Betsy is married to Amway … bastion of the original pyramid selling scheme and implicated in more global corruption schemes than your average soldier and brother to Blackwater - the private ‘protection company’ that the US government had to extract itself from.
The other common connection?
Both Blackwater and Amway have had to change their names in an attempt to present a more acceptable face to the public after their crimes were unearthed. Betsy - that's who Trumpette is pointing to in the picture up there ... and her connections admitted that as much as $200 million could have been contributed to Trump's campaign. It's amazing what money can buy.
