I literally got up long enough to get my coffee cup from beside my easel. I guess this is Athena’s way of telling me to go start packing instead of reading the internet. 😂 #catsofmastodon

Well, we’ve gone from light, to moderate, to “heavy rain” here in Ventura County, CA. So far, it’s just like any rain here, but it’s only 2 pm.

We’re still in a relatively safe area, so I’m not too concerned. And yes, thanks for your advice, but we’re prepared and understand how to deal with flooding, wind. #HurricaneHilary https://zoom.earth/maps/radar/#view=33.928439,-118.926575,9.6z

Does anyone here remember the 2010-2014 global protest era? #15M? #OWS? #GeziPark?

All these protest movements used Twitter to communicate and mobilize their efforts. Now it appears all the visual material and links related to these movements are gone:

#BREAKING: 66 year old woman & #LGBTQ #ally shot for displaying a #Pride flag in her store. She had 9 children & was considered a pillar of the community who stood up for #equality, #love & #justice. And hatred killed her😢💔

Mastodon is actually far more engaging than Twitter was back in, say, 2011-12. Went back and checked some of my tweets from back then and some got like 20 impressions, and I was covering the US Senate.

@Benblades @RollingStone
He signed bibles. Donald Trump went to a church and started signing bibles when they were thrust towards him. He could have chose not to, he could have thought about it for a second and realized the profound arrogance and sacrilege of the moment, but no, he signed bibles for his fans.

He is literally the closest person I could imagine to the Antichrist. He is the unchrist like figure (rapist) that leads the Christians with hatred in their hearts, even more astray.

@IdahoLark Good point.

A 66-year-old mother of 9 was murdered by a deranged wingnut who was incensed that she had a pride flag outside her store. Her blood is on the hands of every right-winger who hasn't condemned their movement's relentless attacks on the #LGBTQ community.

@ai6yr Rode my bike up to the top of Griffith Park at dawn when it was still dry. Got this shot of the first band of rain moving in over downtown. (And by the time I arrived home I was very wet.)

Too many people are in denial that Republicans have already started the killings.

I talked to two friends who have Threads last night. They say it's absolutely dead. Nothing is going on.

Millions of sign-ups, zero engagement. It's like Google+ all over again.

I'm not on Threads and have no desire to be there.

I just wanted to let you know that Mastodon is still winning in so many ways, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.

Climate change will affect us in ways we can’t imagine. We must end fossil fuel subsidies and new drilling now.

The person I cherished more than any other, @nova , died unexpectedly late Wednesday in a climbing accident.

I have no words, only despair. The light in my soul is gone.

Joe Beda @jbeda and Nivenly are posting announcements. Others will also.
