Many of the journalists Elon suspended today on Twitter are here on #Mastodon. Please follow and boost:

I'm convinced that there is a direct correlation between extreme wealth and an increasing inability to relate to fellow human beings on even a basic level.

Cool cool we automated away artist's jobs but we still have to fold laundry

My email drip this week focusing on Stocking Stuffers (1 per day for 5 days - today is day 2). I would love to move away from the Christmas theme next year, any ideas? Maybe a year end wrap up or looking towards the new year instead?

Drag Queens. My take. People recently are against Drag Queen story-time. Why? Story-time is not a performance in a nightclub. Story-time is performance for littles. Drag Queens are consummate performers and their talent can enchant and enliven the littles. I am a retired librarian. Story-time is hard. Performing for the littles, presenting books with just the right amount of enthusiasm takes talent. The professionalism and talent the Drag Queens are donating at story-time is priceless.
