I don't understand how people can look at the world and not realize the future is manifesting right in front of them. Their fear blinds them to the beauty erupting from the hearts and minds of kind and compassionate individuals who just want to be free to love and express themselves.

It's truly mind boggling when a person's life consists of division, pretense, hatred, fear, ignorance, pride, malice, and greed; but they somehow delude themselves into thinking they're heros.

@EubieDrew Using appropriate hashtags can keep a post alive and in the conversation for a long time. I have heard blind users ask that we keep hashtags at the end of the posts for the sake of screen readers which always verbalize "hashtag."

@joshtpm The worse the bird-place has become—and it has been a visible day-by-day devolution into exactly the kind of hate-filled hellscape its owner assured its advertisers wouldn't happen—the more the decent folks are voting with their feet, so to speak.

And Mastodon is currently the best alternative for those of us who just want to chat, share stuff, get some news, and interact peaceably with one another. (Which is all most of us wanted at the bird-place, for that matter.)

Ok, the game is over, thanks to almost everyone who played:

- Friends and people who who joked along
- People who did not know and were confused but polite
- People who did not know and were very excited to explain it to me anyway! Some of you did a good job, all of you proved a point, some of you laughed along when you realized what was going on

Sorry no consolation prize to the people who got mad or told me I couldn't have been co-author of the spec once they found out, but at least in this one context you provided comic relief to everyone

please boost this message across the network as far as you can I think it's really about time someone explained activitypub to me

Not that I expect this toot will have a big audience of cishet folks, but this ones for them.

Ahem... TRANSGENDER AWARENESS WEEK IS NOT A FUCKING CELEBRATION. IT LEADS UP TO A DAY WHEN WE MOURN OUR DEAD. PLEASE LEARN THE FUCKING DISTINCTION.

How would you describe yourself politically?

Please vote, comment, and BOOST (very important)

Thank you.

It is simply not right that Miss Universe is always from this galaxy.
