This is where your book bans lead.
This is where your "Don't say gay" policies lead.
This is where 300 anti-lgbt bills introduced nation wide this year lead.
This is were your criminalizing trans lives and care leads.
This is where your unchecked gun culture leads.
This is your where overturning of Supreme Court cases ends.
This is where staying quiet so as not to start a fight over Thanksgiving dinner leads.
Our blood in the streets once again.
Fuck all of it

This US #Thanksgiving, many of us will find ourselves explaining #Mastodon to family and friends. Gods, help us all.
Shadow Diplomats: The Global Threat of Rogue Diplomacy
A first-of-its-kind investigation by ProPublica and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
____
Corrupt, violent & dangerous appointees, including those accused of aiding terrorist regimes, have turned a system meant to leverage the generosity of honorable citizens into a perilous form of rogue diplomacy that threatens the rule of law around the world.

It's great to see so many publications exploring the Fediverse. We should give a tip of the hat to @restofworld who also have set up their own instance for Mastodon! (In fact we're pretty sure they beat us here :)
Lo voy a repetir porque es extraordinario. Un toot en francés, se dice "pouet". Y es la onomatopeya que usamos para el ruido de una bocina o cuando apretas un patito de ule! 🤭
Hay hasta una canción de Bourvil sobre esto (super misogina en todos casos)! 😂

I get in trouble when I criticize VAR on my big Twitter account so I can shout into the fediverse about it instead 😇
Someone go get Mark Hamill. We can’t leave him on the dark side.
Mastodon is perfect for GenX because we’re all just roaming from house to house totally unsupervised and unless something goes really wrong nobody cares #GenX
First time experiencing major world event watching mastodon stream… following #worldcup hashtag 👀⚽️
It's the weekend, and we're taking some downtime, but we wanted to get this instance going before the World Cup (just in case!)
We're exploring the best way to use Mastodon as a publication, including setting a policy for the use of CW and photos. We'll always use ALT text.
This instance is administrated by @oconnell, feel free to reach out to them (or toot @kitoconnell for faster response).
Thanks for the warm welcome, y'all. You'll hear more from us next week. 🤠 #Introduction
I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.
Self explanatory statements below. I have a theory on this.
Please boost if you take part
Thanks
