#Introduction
Name: Addie
Country: USA
I’m a TV director working the #amnewsers shift. For fun I like retro PCs, old video games, and general nerdery. Which is you know why I set up my own Mastodon server lol.
Commercial: "... people assigned female at birth..."
Dad: "Why don't they just say women?"
Me: "Because some women are assigned male at birth."
D: "Why?"
M: "Some are born with a penis."
D: "That happens to women?"
M: "Remember Sophia from OITNB? The actress, Laverne Cox, is a woman who was born with a penis."
D: "Oh. [pause] Yeah, that makes sense."
M: "Congratulations, you're ahead of 99% of the population."
Time to go across the hall and direct 6a & 7a! @wcco@twitter.com #amnewsers @TVDirectors@twitter.com
@violetblue you ever feel like you’re the only one who takes things seriously still? (Hoody from @vkc’s collection lol)
@vkc so I’ve gotten a lot of good comments about this today at the station. Only 1 from an IT person lol. (And yes I still have a mask on at work unless I’m by myself.)
Time to direct the noon on @WCCO@twitter.com #amnewsers @TVDirectors@twitter.com @PauleenLe@twitter.com @JosephForecast@twitter.com

@vkc Debian!!! Nice. I run that on my desktop. And servers.
So when are you gonna cover the “local” Linux distro aka the oldest active distro… Slackware?
Seriously, Patrick Volderking was a student at Moorhead State when he birthed the distro.
They lifted the mask mandate again. Oh well. I’ve so far avoided getting sick (knock on wood) so I’m gonna keep my mask on this time ‘round. At least until I see consistent drops in the numbers in the Cities. cc: @violetblue
Rolling old school on the 9 today. @wcco@twitter.com @AJHilton_News@twitter.com @heatherbrown21@twitter.com #amnewsers @TVDirectors@twitter.com
A bunch of the monitors in the control room & studio were acting up this morning... The floor director and I determined it's because it's Friday the 13th and Mercury is still in retrograde. @TVDirectors@twitter.com #AMNewsers @AJHilton_News@twitter.com
Tell me you work in the Midwest, without telling me you work in the Midwest. I'll go first:
