Roof Repair, CSA Shares, Ira, Alexis, and Acorn Art

by Raven

It’s another weekly Facebook summary, featuring more creativity from Acorn, celebrations of well-known communards, and a post I wasn’t happy with.

It started with a repost from Twin Oaks about getting the dining hall roof fixed.

This post did very well (Twin Oaks posts often do), with lots of likes, two loves, and a wow–and almost two hundred views.

The next post didn’t do well and for once I was glad of that. It was a repost from East Brook Community Farm (Glomus Commune’s business) and featured a picture of one of their low income CSA subscribers. In retrospect I decided it wasn’t a good idea to reprint this woman’s picture. She was obviously okay with it being used for farm advertising but I think it wasn’t appropriate for larger distribution. Fortunately, most things on Facebook are ephemeral but that’s why I am not republishing it here.

I think this is a lovely thing that they are doing but, as I said, I had second thoughts about republishing the face of someone who really wasn’t involved with communal things. Therefore, the fact only fifty people saw it was a relief.

On the other hand, while I usually feel happy when a post gets over a hundred views, I republished a post about Ira from Acorn–and because it was about Ira getting an award, and I know posts about Ira do very well, I would have been disappointed if this post got less than two hundred views. I wasn’t disappointed.

As I said, this got 24 likes, loves, and cares, and two hundred and thirty views. I am only surprised it didn’t get more views.

Another well known communard who often gets noticed is Alexis from Living Energy Farm. But it was Twin Oaks that posted about his newspaper write up.

As usual, since there is a picture of a link, here’s the actual link.

This also did well (although not as well as Ira’s piece) with a good ten likes and a hundred and thirty views.

After posting here last week about duplicates I accidentally posted on Acorn’s creativity, here is a brand new repost on Acorn’s artwork.

It got five likes, one love, and one wow, and also a hundred and thirty views.
