@Sarahw @quay @indri This seems like concern trolling. I should hide any discussions of racism because a hypothetical Black woman might not want to read that? I’m sure Black women follow me on here and I’m pretty sure they are aware that I discuss racism. If this hypothetical Black woman didn’t want to read about racism I’m pretty sure she would just skip social media because BW are one of the most targeted groups around. Highlighting racism is a public good.

POLL: If you've been on #Mastodon for over a week and used it each day, how likely are you to go back to using Twitter on a regular basis?
Boost for a larger sample size please.
@DJWhite Too many friends that have kept me from being homeless, etc on Twitter for me to not stick around until it implodes. I have enough ADHD for both equally.

maybe printer doesn't work cause you only show up when you need something and then do nothing but talk shit behind its back. do better.
Finally figured out how to get feeds from other instances. Yay. Now I have so many things to look at.

Insect, but weirder than most
Friday Flyday!
Here’s a Richardia hammerhead fly from an Ecuadorian cloud forest.
Well, my server is nuts it's 65k...

I can, too as it definitely is abused. I just am trying to think of a way for me to address boosts, especially if I want to continue / get back to more science and medical outreach.
Great take on the nature of public opinion on the stock market.
Beautiful take from Jonathan Nicholson from HuffPo DC coverage, who has been blue checked for years, since we've been mutuals.
OK, toot (man I am not into that language) character limit? 500 characters?
Eli Lily, Bird Site, and Fake accounts causing billions of $ in damage
A fake Eli Lily account tweets that insulin is now free and stock loses immense amount of worth. I'm not commenting on the morality of insulin here. The issue is the legality — can Eli Lily sue the Bird.
Blue checks have always inferred authenticity, so suddenly introducing parody might not protect the Bird according to law people. I think this is amazing because Elon deserves all the suing & fuck Eli Lily about insulin.

@War_Kittens Fully agree - the additional info provided in a QT makes it easier to understand threads on topics I may not be familiar/comfortable with. (Not saying topics should always be comfortable, but that seeking comfort often flies in the face of empathy and anything that challenges that tendency is good, even if unpleasant).

To inaugurate our brand new Mastodon account, we're gonna tell you everything we know (and don't know) about MASTODON VAGINAS. As in the extinct animal, obvs.
@swetland
My dude, I know that I, personally am a bigger asshole than most people. A lot of my friends would agree with that. I am absolutely willing to CW some politics and certain things like extreme violence. I'll even CW fandom stuff and some filthy minded things.
However — when we start getting into to things like eye contact and other, "It makes me uncomfy," situations, that is falling into the not my problem category. I'm trying to be nice about this but, how can people think that we should cater to that kind of denominator?

That's quite an opening:
"Defective host defenses later in life are associated with changes in immune system activity. The means to correct immune defects to ensure immunity in the elderly are undefined. In this study, we found that CD8+ T cells, which are necessary for anti-tumor immunity in young mice, are not required to eradicate the same cancers later in life."

Forgive me, Father. It has been several months since I last lived mas.
I mean there's a 3rd party guy doing it at #fedified. But I'm sure you know that one of the points here is that it's not supposed to be a two tiered system, etc.
I really don't know the answer how to even go about it because there's no overarching management of servers.

Imagine silencing or blocking masto dot social and depriving users of me tooting "Buttplugs" constantly.
Like why even bother with social media at that point.
