@littlesunbear sometimes, just sometimes, even nice people have (gently) to put their foot down. This is one of those times. Choose *your* restaurant, invite *your* guests. Maybe offer to take your niece out for a “special” day with you another time if you are fond of her, so she doesn’t feel obliged to come.
And I wish you a wonderful birthday.
The Irk and Vex rule
@davidallengreen what I need now is the ability to search for irk and vex posts so I can be irked and vexed to my heart’s content.
@Curator that is wonderful, I wondered why I had to tap to see political comment. For the sake of us newbies, I’ve just found the little exclamation mark in a shield icon that accesses the warnings when I post.
@roxanadaneshjou excellent news. Following
@nature. Thanks for the tip.

Fascinating development now that @Nature@twitter.com has set up a Mastadon account. Will the #science community be moving over? Remains to be seen. https://sciencemastodon.com/@nature

It is sad to see #Twitter go the way it did. For many users who make their #introduction here this is not easy. A lot of lifeblood went into it #Twitter which may still turnaround. But these are highly non-linear processes & #mastodon #twittermigration may just take off.
So how to deal with this emotionally?
For me, #poetry helps and provides some consolation to remind ourselves of the bigger picture.
"Steps" by Herman Hesse.

Politics
Rishi Sunak was told of Gavin Williamson’s abusive texts - and appointed him anyway
Sunak’s claim that his would be a government with “integrity, professionalism & accountability at every level” was fatally undermined by his appointment of Braverman, but is surely now given a final death blow by this?
@SturdyAlex yay! Hello glad I found you here. I was something else on Twitter but I thought a new start would be fun.
