@bea I'm on the bus!! XD

@vahnj the bus to coffee?

@bea that's one way to look at it LOL

@vahnj @bea
Here is an interesting essay that draws parallels between social media and the historic coffee houses!

I think Mastodon is even more like this. With each instance cultivating specific interests I can definitely see expert communities forming instance preference and mingling with casually interested individuals..
Also it mentions how coffee became the beverage of business. :D

@Irick @bea hah, this is actually really cool

@vahnj @bea
It's one of the upsides of getting really easily caught up in a research clickhole. I have all these weirdly interesting articles floating around in the back of my head. :)

@Dorbulyu coffeeeeeeeeeeee

@vahnj I'm probably going to get more once I get my car back 😰
