@ParanoidFactoid i get that now. but i can't change that and am not going to bother signing up somewhere else at this point

@mattsheffield just found out the fediverse doesn't show all the replies to a toot. that's dumb and hardly useful for a twitter replacement. at least on my server i see 0 comments on most post. just about to give up. they don't use mastodon bc it doesn't serve the function you get with twitter. quick, massive amounts of information dissemination. and yes, that unfortunately comes with nazis and such

Abortion pills case

"Abortion rights advocates delivered a stark warning to the Biden administration’s top health official in a private meeting last week: It’s time to take seriously “fringe” threats that could wind up blocking abortion access across the country.

Never mind that mathematics was developed far from western lands, to the point that we now study algebra, or الجبر al-jabr, developed while Europe was mired in tribal warfare.

It’s a vicious cycle: if you believe that everything you see was invented by white people, then you believe that white people invented everything, because each set of false information reinforces the other.

Wypipo, open your eyes! Here’s a popular meme image of just a few things invented by Black people, and the full list is so much longer. This list is so long mastodon won’t let me put the entire text description in the alt tag, so I’ll add it as a reply to this post.

@nytimes you don't need the scallions/cilantro/garlic or lime. why make the easiest thing in the world so complicated?
