I'm dead serious.
Let's do a #TwitterWalkout next week.
A day next week where everyone commits to not using the site.
Take away what Musk needs from us: our content and our eyeballs.

*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon

Trip of a lifetime. First time in #Africa when I went to #SouthAfrica to collect dissertation data with my research assistant and attendant. We were on top of Table Mountain in Cape Town. It was #BlackJoy for me and #DisabledJoy because we were over 3,000 ft up on a mountain and I was in a wheelchair up there. Was an amazing experience.

Is a well-balanced plate of Black goodness: #AnthonyHamilton singing a song about drumming and using what God has given you to make a difference. Y'all know what it is...

Yay! Rep. Lauren Underwood has been elected to a House leadership position 😃
"The last Black female to hold an elected House leadership spot was Rep. Shirley Chisholm, D-N.Y., — an Underwood role model — in 1977."

I was just on a call with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Warnock, and they said that a nationwide phone banking effort over the next week can be the difference in the Senate runoff race. Sign up for a phone banking shift now, from anywhere around the country:

Happy Birthday, Brandi. Buchman. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Thank you for educating us and informing us. Thank you.

Give her what she really wants this holiday season. Death to the patriarchy, an ancient tome of curses from the forest witch, the hearts of her enemies, and deep pockets in every dress and pair of pants.

It would be good for progressive superstars including but not limited to Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Reps. AOC, Pressley, Tlaib, Omar and rest of the squad to establish their footprints in the #Fediverse. Their base is here - they should join rest of us (while maintaining their presence on the birdsite to take on fascists). If they want to consider themselves cutting edge of digital politics they should do this sooner rather than later. #TwitterMigration #uspolitics

🎂 It’s hard for me to admit it. But I need your help. Please follow my soon-to-premier podcast #BookedUp and listen to our trailer.
Let’s prove that I don’t need to be on Twitter to promote the inaugural episode that drops on my birthday — December 4. First guest is Dahlia Lithwick who will talk about LADY JUSTICE, chaos muppets, bobbins, and wearing Ax body spray.

@nathanalbert@mastodon.online Hello sir, as a self-professed comma-queen, I salute you!

I am still floating on air. We theorized that focusing on MAGA extremism would work. We bet the farm on it. The dominant opinion a week ago was that this was a strategic blunder. But we produced the best midterm for a president with this approval rating in the history of the republic. I was just on a call with thousands of Indivisible leaders and the energy, excitement, and sense of accomplishment was palpable. Feeling so damn hopeful right now.

@trinsec THANKS! What a great tip!
Newbie question...I'm starting to use lists (what a GREAT tool!) and want to know if posts from people I follow will be in BOTH the home column and the designated list column, or JUST show up in the designated list. Wow, that was harder to phrase than I had anticipated, thanks for sticking with me!
@DataDrivenMD I agree with @rmayemsinger that the list could be used or not, it's entirely a personal choice. Personally, I like the idea of a vetted list. In addition, one of my instance mods kindly passed me a "fedibloc" list after I received an ugly antisemitic toot, so I could block servers known for hate speech, and it has made my Mastadon experience much better. Thanks for what you're doing!

@AmyMusician No biggie! The important thing to know is that is you ever get trolled, for lack of a better term, you can click on the three dots in the lower right corner of the message box containing their awful message, and you can choose to block them OR the entire server they are on. I think that's the last option, when you click on those 3 dots. My moderator suggested that I block the entire server when I was trolled, and with a server name like "freespeechextremists" it was a good idea. Hope that helps a bit! :)
@freemo You mentioned laptops and I wanted to see if you had an opinion on hinges. I got super fed up at my dell and HP laptop hinges failing in less than 2 years, that I did my research and bought an ACER Enduro last night. It supposedly has the toughest hinges available. There was an incredibly sweet deal on the ACER site that I just couldn't resist - 1T SSD, 16gb Ram, FHD, and an i7 all for $638 with the site discount. I hear that the color profile and the speakers suck, so I may need to ask/figure out later how I might improve those two things, but it felt like there was no other option. Sort of like your LVFS mantra, mine is "hinges before all else"!

One day in the very near future women will run this country. It behooves you to fight for our rights especially regarding the right to rule over our own body. Men will fall, women will rise, mark my words.
