War is that thing that's instigated by people who don't represent the people they are ostensibly fighting for. Most folks just want to live their goddamn lives and like, eat good bread and play with their kids. Why the fuck won't the disgusting men who rule the fucking world do this stuff?

I have a rainbow welcome sign outside my house. It says that we welcome all people. Over the last few weeks, there’s been people riding by and screaming “fuck your sign” and “get a new sign.” And last night my house got teepeed. It’s so fucking weird how mad some people get about other people’s kindness

my 8 year old wants you to vote and boost this. it’s really important to her. I am not joking and she sincerely expects at least, uh, 384 votes. and this is kinda her first ever fedi post, so do it for her!!!

So today @Teri_Kanefield put up an analysis of the problematic legal issues surrounding a gag order for Trump >>> https://law-and-politics.online/@Teri_Kanefield/111133028862927449

Rather than learn from Ms. Kanefield's vast expertise in these matters, some responses gave vent to their anger against Trump by accusing her of taking his side etc.

Listen up. Mastodon is not a cheering squad. Most of us value honest in-depth facts, even if uncomfortable, and we treasure those who contribute their time and expertise to keeping us informed.

A year ago today, a friend of mine took his own life. Outwardly things seemed fine. He had just sent me a picture of him and his wife kayaking at a state park, with beautiful scenery all around. When we got together for martial arts he always appeared happy and well balanced. But internally he was struggling with profound sadness and despair. I wish I had known. I wish he knew how much we all miss him, and how his absence diminishes the world.
