A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.

If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

Nothing more than than an attempt at gaslighting on a massive scale.

My little #Robin friend spent most of the morning singing up in the trees. He came down for a snack very briefly, but had to go back up and sing some more. He's a Robin, it's his job.

Reading descriptions of the #Russian army in #WWI and I’m struck at just how much you could copy/paste and still find it relevant today. #history #militaryhistory

Happy New Year! I hope that Elon Musk goes bankrupt soon because that would be really funny.

A Republican voter in Long Island when asked about George Santos “well it’s not like he murdered anybody” 🤔 so 🤔 that is how low the bar is for GOP voters. ? Damn

I hate when I’m reading a book that I’m finding “meh” and can’t decide: push on and hope it gets better or cut my losses now.

She writes,

"A software developer at the inauguration told New York Times reporters Jack Nicas and André Spigariol, 'Lula’s inauguration is mainly about hope…. I hope to see him representing not only a political party, but an entire population—a whole group of people who just want to be happier.'

Seems like a good note to start 2023."

Heather Cox Richardson notes that while defeated dictator-wannabe Bolsonaro is in Florida palling around with Trump, fleeing Brazilian investigations, a 33-year-old garbage collector, Aline Sousa, representing “the Brazilian people,” presented the presidential sash to Lula da Silva at his inauguration and placed it on him.

I do not miss Twitter even the slightest bit.

I do miss the people who haven't escaped yet.

What kind of scumbag lies about the death of his mother for political gain?

Sure he's @GOP & they always lie but @Santos4Congress

Have you any decency?

As I approach the 10th anniversary of my own mom's passing, THIS ⬇️ may be his most disgusting lie yet

Greetings Mastodon! I love nature - particularly #birds - and create art inspired by it. At the moment I'm mostly a #printmaker using the #linocut method. I also use colour pencils, embroidery and gouache when I fancy it. Have a look on my website: http://www.katiefuller.co.uk

My mother passed away 20 years ago today. I remember it as if it was yesterday. I had to take her off of life support after some freak illness.

She had a quick wit, an infectious joie de vivre, and never ending questions.

Hug the ones you love.
