Countless of people are having to flee because of the climate crisis. The time to act is now. We need to get informed, speak up on climate justice and migrant justice, and support vital organizations like IOM. The Greta Thunberg Foundation supports their important work with people displaced by the climate crisis in Pakistan & Somalia.
IOM is helping people to find a way to stay, adapt and move when there is no other option. You can also support IOM here: https://t.co/dCeTmVQryX

I know it's vain, but I do notice likes on drawings I post. I don't expect any comments (what's anyone supposed to say to a drawing anyway?), so the likes/favs at least show that some people have been reached and then felt inclined to show their appreciation.

@filippo The problem as I see it is that the first people who truly jumped ship, abandoning twitter completely years ago, were the most politically extreme and personally oddball, and now they feel that they are the real mastodon users and the rest are johnny-come-lately posers. (I opened an account on masto when it was quite new, but there wasn't enough network effect to keep me here until Recent Events.) We on twitter heard about ridiculously overblown personal dramas on masto every now and then between these most hardcore original users and it didn't encourage us to jump in. And now that we're here, they're not happy to be reminded that most people see many features as pretty desirable with some drawbacks rather than absolutely horrifically unthinkable. I don't see a general satisfactory answer to this culture clash - the hardcore aren't wrong to want what they want, and I don't want to advocate for a purely numeric approach where whatever the largest faction wants trumps all other concerns. But I do think there are some people who need to realize that what they want is either not to be on a social media platform in the first place, or to abolish the NSA, which is a bit out of scope.

Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language...

Trying some Animal Line Drawing, from the book by Peggy Dean. #MastoArt #drawing

I’ve only ever used Twitter via 3rd party clients and I believe the API had certain delays. That’s why I’m absolutely delighted when the odd “like” notification here pops up almost immediately after I’ve hit “Post”. Magical! 🪄✨

A new report has found that John Durham’s investigation was a mess, and that he even leaned on sketchy Russian intelligence to get into a George Soros aide’s email. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/john-durham-sketchy-russian-intel-1234669178/

Cannot stop laughing— all that time that QAnon was going on and on about how Durham would be the one to exonerate Trump on some specific date (date kept moving), he was investigating Trump’s financial crimes, tipped off by the Italian authorities and with Barr’s approval.

People moaning about different servers in Mastodon and why it’s all so difficult.

Dude, you’re building a website with npm install, yarn burp boop and webpack on a 56 gig docker image, but yeah sure.

39 mass shootings in America in the first 3 weeks of 2023.

Firearm injuries are now the leading cause of death among people younger than 24.

2,070 unintentional shootings by children under 18 from 2015 - 2020.

This is what American exceptionalism looks like.
