Due to recent events, a lot of people are joining the Mastodon™ Network™ leading to a lot of discussions that may get overwhelming at times.
Thankfully, Mastodon™ has a solution to hide specific topics: word filters.
First, open the settings in the sidebar of your genuine Mastodon™ instance. Then scroll down until you see the item "word mutes".
Here you can add topics you don't want to see in your timeline. Feel free to copy the topics from our screenshot for some reasonable defaults!
@pluralistic PSA: The IRS actually has a program called VITA where they provide grants and training for volunteer tax preparers to assist folks making under $60k in filing their taxes for free. As long as you meet the income requirements, they can handle some pretty complex tax situations. It's been a few years since I volunteered, but I recall one year when the organizer sent us a summary showing how many millions of dollars of tax refunds we had processed that otherwise would have gone through these predatory companies. It was a good feeling.

This map, released in May, is one of my favourites from 2022. Surprisingly, I haven't seen any commercial products that use it yet even though it comes with a free commercial license.

Experimented with aforementioned microwave bread recipe again. This time I added a packet of yeast.
Flavor leaves a ton to be desired(though I didn't add sugar or vanilla this time). The texture got better, though it's not fluffy in the slightest.
After cutting it open, I noticed some air pockets had formed, which I thought was peculiar. After having tasted a piece, I went back to it and had a mental image of a pot pie.
Perhaps I can try and use something similar in the future to make a microwave pot pie with a can of soup as the filling????
I tried a second piece with butter, and it made it a lot more tolerable.
For those who care attached are the screenshots of the nazi who was banned from QOTO some time back and started a hate campaign by pretending to be LGBTQ ally "calling us out" but just made up lies... he did this over the course of many months and ultimately is the source of the problems that snowballed and led to all this to begin with.
I will do a write up on this soon.
