I want a revolution that welcomes people in.
I want a revolution that honors shared humanity.
I want a revolution that values difference.
I want a revolution with room for joy and creativity.
I want a revolution that nurtures & connects us as much as it protects us.
I want a revolution that makes space for both love & rage.
I want a revolution that leaves no one behind.
I want a revolution that is willing to learn & transform.
I want a revolution that says, when you are ready, join us.

Meanwhile if you are Welsh, now is the time of year where a skeleton horse might show up at your door and challenge you to a rap battle.
If you lose the horse comes into your house and drinks your booze.
Merry Christmas from Mari Lwyd!

QT discourse
I honestly don't understand why people want the QT ability, basically to start a new thread using someone else's words (and adding your own).
Why not just reply in Public mode? Your followers will see it, and you'll be part of the conversation. What's the disadvantage?

160 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln sent a bereaved young woman an extraordinary letter about how to live with loss https://www.themarginalian.org/2016/10/24/abraham-lincoln-fanny-mccullough-consolation-letter/

Our friendly vixen, Lopa, has started showing up again - must have been the cold weather keeping her away. I took this close-up of her last night. #fox #NaturePhotography #wildlife

TIL: There is a cursed color in the Kodak ProPhoto RGB color space which, when converted to sRGB using pre-August-2020-Security-Update Android's image conversion routines, causes an integer overflow and a crash due to a rounding error. Some dude accidentally created an image (https://www.flickr.com/photos/gaurav_agrawal/48746079687/) which contains the cursed color on a single pixel. In 2020 if you set this image as your desktop on a Google or Samsung device, the device would brick & lose all onboard data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXKvwPjCGnY
