qoto.org also hid the delete account button, wow, go figure

incels belong in cells

whelp, qoto.org supports pedophiles and nazis, time to go. fedi sucks

fedi still sucks

qoto federates with a lot of child pornography instances and nazis

it's actually not funny, it's just really sad and frustrating

even funnier is that steven banon still has their support, and he's still manipulating them lol

the only people who don't like aoc are the one's steven banon is still laughing at because of how stupid and easily manipulated they are. his own words lol

i like aoc

some mastodon instances have a setting which groups new posts into a "show new posts" button, which prevents the timeline form moving while you're trying to scroll and read, does qoto not have that?

i've recently taken a more direct interest in lojong. it's a practice that helped me a lot with g'mah, and it goes hand in hand with zazen or other types of meditation and practice as well.

specifically i enjoyed tonglen, which is a practice of sending and receiving by meditation. the meditation is to use the deep and slow inward breath to take in suffering and transform it into joy and on a deep and slow exhale we radiate joy back out. it's a practice that focuses specifically on raising our capabilities for compassion

the practice is used to strengthen resolve in normally uncomfortable situations. something like being in the presence of someone on their death bed and feeling uncomfortable so you don't know how to behave or what to say. or like me dealing with g'mah and her dementia.

there's some cool reading about lojong and tonglen around the internet. i ended up picking up a book from the library that was decent, but the language felt alienating sometimes, so i didn't finish it. but i kept reading around the internet and watched a few talks by pema chodron.

why is there no longer a translate option in fedilab?

made a ghobi chana masala today. didn't feel like making naan, so i just went with some jasmine rice i have. they didn't have basamati rice at the local grocery, but the brown jasmine rice is healthier anyway

the people of the world are uniting and rising. the revolution is not being televised. iran, iraq, pakistan, spain, france, ecuador, haiti, bolivia, chile, rojava, lebanon, hong kong, palestine, u.s., england, ireland, brazil, algeria, egypt, sudan, honduras, peru, indonesia, russia, netherlands.

it's incredible to see so many people stand in solidarity with each other and share their experiences with the world, but also actively taking on the challenge of resistance, pursuit of self determination, and standing up for what's right.

many of these protesters are met with extreme forms of violence by police, official military, paramilitary, or state funded gangs. there have been many casualties and wounded, but a lot of progress is being demanded, won, or taken

cyberpunk is now, and many people are fighting for a better future. many of the protests around the world are centered around anti neoliberal imperialist policy that is destroying the earth, our home. there's a lot of outrage against constitutional, economic, or law enforcement policies as well.

i stand with the rising people of the world. i'm so proud of them, and they inspire me and make me feel proud of who i am and have been too.

i'll be around, just getting settled again

sweet home fediverse
