Sweet! Thank you, I'm looking forward to being able to post to Pinksky again! ๐๐๐
@pinksky.app So is there a support portal or anyone I can contact about getting this fixed?
Ugh. Gross! ๐คฎ
In my own experience, Bluesky is feeling like a ghost town this year.
Any tips for finding/connecting with other ethical business owners on here?
Any suggestions for ethical business to follow?
I'm feeling the same way about F1! I've never had any issue streaming it from around the world, but this year Apple TV has some stupid exclusive deal and I dread giving that company any money.
I've heard so many sports fans say all this is the breaking point and they're going back to pirating.
Do I get ridiculously excited every time I help a new ๐ฟFern CRM user set up their account specifically for what they want to do and how they want to use it?
YES. I. DO!
I just love the excitement of seeing things take shape and being on the ground floor when success is first created.
๐๐๐
Of course! Thanks for your help!
I created this post on Pinksky:
bsky.app/profile/fern...
But it doesn't show up on my Pinksky feed. (I tried numerous times with different photos/posts and I can't get anything to show up on PS anymore. ๐ญ)
My PS feed is set to show all posts created on Pinksky.
@pinksky.app How can we get support when something isn't working?
I LOVE Pinksky & love posting to it, but lately I can't get a photo to show up on my Pinksky feed.
I've checked & triple checked the settings. I post the image from my Pinksky acct and it shows up on Bluesky but not Pinksky.
Halp!
Stripe promoting their event with OpenAI's Greg Brockman (who donated millions to Trump AND jumped on the Dept of War deal) is either peak inability to read the room or intentionally picking a side.
I never loved Stripe, but (until now) I thought of them as the lesser evil to PayPal.
Not anymore.
We're baaaaaack!
If anyone needs help today, I'm available at 3pm PT/6pm ET or tomorrow (Wed) at 11am PT/2pm ET.
Please RSVP with me so I know to show up.
So sorry for the last minute notice and inconvenience!! ๐
๐ฟFern CRM Office Hours are canceled today!
I apologize, but we have to cancel today's Office Hours. We will try to reschedule for another day this week once I know more.
See the post in the Brain Trust Community for more details. (You can also book a 1:1 if you have an urgent issue.)
Take care!
Oooooh, looking forward to more details!! ๐
Calling all ๐ฟFern CRM users ~ starting this week, our Office Hours are at a new link.
Butter shut down, so we created a handy URL that will always redirect to the right meeting room, no matter which tool we use going forward.
All links in the community & calendar have been updated.
See you there!
Forgot to share the link:

I'm deeply impressed with Anthropic taking a stand against using AI for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons without human oversight.
This could literally cause the company to go out of business and it's 100% the right thing to do.
More CEOs with a conscience please!
Photo of a paper coffee cup made of unbleached cardboard with green ink that says, "100 CUPS PLANTS ONE TREE, SCAN HERE" and a green arrow pointing down towards a QR code that's shaped like a deciduous tree. Below the QR code tree it says, "SEE WHY THIS CUP IS DIFFERENT". The cup is sitting on an untreated wooden shelf in front of large windows. The view on the other side of the window is so foggy that the surrounding area looks almost blurry. Not much can be seen except the fuzzy silhouettes of trees.
Loving this weather & this coffee cup!
Enjoying a ๐ honey latte on this foggy morning from the new mom & pop cafe that opened up in the same building as Fern HQ.
We definitely share the same values AND it tastes heavenly! ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ
Stop by Blue Drip Co next time you visit the island! โ
AI doesn't get how butterflies move in real life and I love that for us. ๐ฆ๐
I popped back into my Fern CRM inbox and can confirm the image still shows up no matter how many times I view it. No mobile app needed.
Yet another way Fern saves me time and stress every day!
Have you seen this? Do you find it inconvenient or nah?
A screenshot of a DM conversation where Instagram has replaced the image itself with a message that says, "This photo can only be replayed once. Use the mobile app to view."
Opened Messenger today and noticed a screenshot that someone had sent me yesterday now has this message under it.
I usually do all my DM'ing from the ๐ฟFern CRM inbox (without opening the apps themselves) so I don't always notice things like this.
Also, EAST BAY REPRESENT!! Loving watching a neighbor succeed at the highest levels and be such a wholesome role model!! ๐คฉ
With all the horrible things happening in the world right now, Alysa Liu has been medicine for me.
Watching her ENJOY the fuck out of every moment, having fun without the stress of competing, just wanting to be living art...
It's been so healing and has given me the energy to keep fighting.
๐ฟFern CRM Office Hours starts in 5 hours (from when this was posted).
Bring your q's and ideas ~ whether related to your tech stack, CRM, client experiences, impact, business strategy, marketing efforts, or anything else affecting your ethical business.
It takes a community...
See you there! ๐
Hey @labor-on-the-line.bsky.social ~ looking forward to seeing you post things like this on Bluesky too, so we don't have to direct traffic to Meta! ๐
Today in "Amazon is super evil and should be boycotted..."
Amazon is happily sharing the info they've collected on its users, employees, and facial recognition software to help ICE target & deport people.

OMG this is so exciting Fiona!!! ๐คฉ
Sorry for disappearing, I've been out sick for 10 days & I don't use AI to write/publish any of our social media content. ๐
But I'm starting to feel better, so get ready for the fierceness to return to this channel soon!
I've got BIG THINGS in the works right now, so I'm excited to get back to it!
It's no surprise that he's ready to hand over Meta's ad tech to help identify, locate, and disappear users who match certain profiles.
Fuck Meta and all the oligarchs who are living as if they're immune to everything we're stuck with everyday.
I'm not fond of sending you to any Zuck platform, but this is too important:
@jesslewis.bsky.social posted a critical update about ICE requesting to use the same Ad Tech that knows all your behaviors, places visited, purchases, etc. to find & eliminate people:

Butter app still charging existing users 30 days before it goes away forever AND accepting new customers on their website is not how I expected them to behave.
No message about how it's sunsetting, nothing to stop someone from signing up and paying for their first (and last) month.
Do better.
