Please respect my decision to stand outside the Science Museum in a lab coat, distributing Wanted posters with my photograph on them and warning people to watch out for an escaped clone.

For #Blackhistory month. Because my birthday falls on this important month

Honestly the phrase "post-covid" makes me instantly angry and distrustful of anything you say. We are not "post-covid" in any sense, shut the fuck up and say what you mean.

Honnêtement l'expression "post-covid" me met immédiatement en colère et méfiant de tout ce qu'on dit. Nous ne sommes pas "post-covid", femme ta gueule et dit ce que vous voulez dire.

This is like the DOJ making exceptions for Dotard and the highly classified documents.

If it was me or you, we would've been in prison the day it was discovered.

You guys are being... oooh wait, nope. this is the federated time line.... okay.

Trump's 'stand back and stand by' remark left them jubilant, one FBI agent said.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Ukraine will get the help it needs to regain it's territory, all of it, including Crimea and Donbas.

The lease for the Sevastopol naval base will be over.

Putin's regime will stand trial for war crimes.

Russian oligarchs assets will be sold to rebuild Ukraine.

Putin's enablers in the West will be investigated for sanctions-busting.

Ukraine needs to win or no democracy is safe from the moneyed interests funding an international fascist movement.

@originalspin Especially since the only reason she still works there is so she doesn't love her H1-B visa 😭

Fox News is a dark alley into which facts are lured then strangled to death and never to be seen again.

As promised, mastodon.online infrastructure upgraded and is now easier to scale, mastodon.social is next on the list. Our mod team grows as well!

If you are a person who is new to the fediverse, or who’s returning to explore after a while away, I can affirmatively say (as someone who has been here right from the start) that we’re all glad to have you, and excited to see what you share, and inspired by the new ideas you have for what’s possible here.

Good evening fellow Mastodonians.

Going to try something tonight to see how it works on Mastodon.

Hi, I'm Mike McCue. A lifetime entrepreneur and co-founder of Flipboard. Ask me anything.

Great Blue Heron

Tuesday when me and the dogs exited the backyard for our walk, this heron flew over. I hastily snapped this shot, kind of like of like skeet shooting I suppose. It's not really a good photo but it's a trophy none the less. I'm a live and let live type of guy the only trophy hunting I approve of is with a camera.

Good morning

Charlie has another appointment with the vet this morning. Yesterday, he got an injection. The vet said that it would be painful later. and I could tell that he was having trouble getting comfortable yesterday evening. But when I said let's go outside, he seemed to forget about the discomfort. He gets one more of those this morning and we're done.

I took the photo of the Gulf of Mexico and Holly Beach, Louisiana.

"What do you feel with a hill and view? Do you look for wings locked deep inside you? Do you ask a question, shed a tear, or make a poem? Or do you just see an ocean? I want you to see what I see. Or if not, for you to show me what you perceive. My journey isn't yours, and the source of our joy, is both a lock between us, and a key." - Ana Lisa De Jong

I also want to state: this decision from the joinmastodon.org website makes ZERO instances show up when a user selects the ‘LGBTQ+’ category. ZERO.

We all know these instances require manual sign-ups to prevent trolls and hate accounts from being created.

This decision is terrible.

Please Boost this thread for visibility!!

🔥This is what Law is for. This judge understood the assignment.
By Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern: "In an unexpected order, the judge asked for supplemental briefing about whether the right to abortion is secretly protected by the 13th Amendment’s ban on 'involuntary servitude.' Was this an audacious judicial request? Maybe."

Elon is going to make the bird site unusable. Just make your account here and settle in. You won’t be sorry.

Anyway, now that a ton of journalists are flocking back to Mastodon... you should read my article about how all your articles about Mastodon "slumping" were bullshit. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/08/lazy-reporters-claiming-fediverse-is-slumping-despite-massive-increase-in-usage/

PAST:
Abolitionist believing that slavery was wrong and should be abolished is one thing

Abolitionist believing slaves were their EQUAL is quite another

PRESENT:

“Good white folx” believing that Black folx are treated unfairly is one thing

“Good white folx” believing that they benefit and perpetuate that unfair treatment is quite another
