The climate organization I volunteer with would like to start moving our videos off of YouTube for obvious reasons. I'm looking at #PeerTube It would probably be more than we could handle to install our own instance. Does anyone have a PeerTube instance that we could hop onto? We have a lot of content.

My sister who has IssuesTM only realised reading to babies is important cos her baby got a free book a month through a library scheme. This is in spite of coming from a reading family and loving reading herself (at her more-functional times).
While Sister doesn't parent Nephew now (he's with a lovely guardian), Sister has good memories of reading with Nephew and passing on her own love of reading.

The US #economy added 64K jobs Nov. But the๐จunemployment rate jumped to 4.6% -->the highest since Sept 2021.
Only๐จHC & CONST were hiring.๐จOther sectors are flatlining or laying off workers. ***There have been almost no job gains since Apr.***
The BLS wrote,๐จโFed govt employment declined by 6K, following a loss of 162K in Oct.โ
๐จWage growth is also cooling off: Wages grew 3.5%, which is above 3%, but not by as much as in the spring."
