Sorry for the brief break between episodes, but don't worry because we have a new one for you!

In this week's episode we talk about anxiety, mental health, therapy, and how the podcast almost doesn't get made each week because of those things. We also talk about Dippin Dots. Sorry Henry Cavill.

If you or somebody you know is going through a lot and you're concerned about them, please reach out to a professional for help. We joke and laugh a lot on our podcasts but we also know the seriousness of mental illness and know it's extremely hard to ask for help sometimes. Please find the courage to talk to somebody.

We do proper introductions and talk about what we do in the Mindly.Social community along with talking about reactions to our first podcast episode from last week. We discuss important Mastodon topics such as #AltText, hashtags, the search function, and why boosting is so important. Additionally we introduce a new segment called "Toot of the Week!" where we highlight 2 posts we took notice of this past week. We also do a callout for anybody willing to join us and discuss important issues on the Fediverse. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time for Henry Cavill.
