Relationship advice: inhale helium before arguing

Reminder to NOT play #Wordle tomorrow (08 Dec 2022). It's a small gesture, but easy to do. Unionized workers are risking much, much more.

Asking for the removal of the Constitution is not a conservative move.

It is a fascist move.

I remember a time when respecting the Constitution was something every citizen would look up to and respect.

The fact that something like this is even suggested is both concerning and infuriating.

Never forget that when #Seoul, Korea removed the #Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream and a 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it completely transform the city’s public life & economic success, but when combined with public transit improvements, the vehicle traffic congestion actually got better.

The traffic got BETTER!

If you have followed me for years, first on Facebook and then other places and now here, I want to say thank you. My existence has been ruled by these insane algorithms for a decade now, so it feels great to be in a place where there is no algorithm.

Looks like me when I make an effort to dress up.

Amazing to me that "Armed terrorist cell attacks power grid, plunges region into darkness" isn't bigger news, but let's be clear: that's because they are white.

The NYT coverage of this is shameful.

The United States Department of Homeland Security has issued a Domestic Terror warning to the LGBTQ+ community. Let that sink in for a moment. If you're Lesbian, Gay, Queer, or Trans in America right now, your life could be placed in danger.

Stay safe. Be alert. h/t Victoria Bohmore

#gop has its collective head on backwards

“Democrats have done a pretty good job of picking issues that motivate their base and that have wider support among the public. We need to be doing the same thing." according to Sen Lindsay #Graham

Oops; I think you got it backwards. We, the people, are motivated and you work for us. We pick the issues. You listen.

How is 2022 already almost over?

Uh-oh, trouble in Christian Nationalist paradise!

Now that MTG has finally denounced Trump's best buddy Nick Fuentes, he is not handling it all that well. His bitter rant is a must-watch, friends.

Tuesday was a bad day all around for Donald Trump, so enjoy this recap as we watch the walls continue to close in on him. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/there-is-no-joy-in-trumpville?sd=pf

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” (1/4)

At age 4, I was classified as 4c, enemy alien, even though I was born in the U.S. Within a few months, the internment of our community was ordered by FDR with broad support from the American people, who turned their backs upon us. We lost our homes, our businesses and our freedoms. (2/4)

It has been my lifelong mission to tell the story of the Japanese American internment so that we remember and do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now, I am bringing that story to the UK from Jan-Apr in a show called “Allegiance” based on my own experiences. (3/4)

If you are in London early in 2023, I would be deeply honored if you came to share in this storytelling by joining us at Allegiance. Thank you.

"Mastodon isn't more like The Dumpster Fire so I don't think it's going to succeed." is a strange thing to say coming from people who just left a dumpster fire.
