Good Morning Mastodon!
From 3 years ago, and found in my archive. It seems more pertinent than ever.
I suspect @cstross will resonate with this.
I obviously need to go take a break from Mastondon. The stupid and incendiary shit some people post just for likes and anarchist props are really pissing me off.
Wishing the kind and thoughtful among us on here a great weekend! See you next year! XOXO
I feel like this hits the crux of the matter. Techbros don't want LLMs/AI because they're “new and exciting", they want it because it's a profitable grift that hasn't yet been regulated—and the thrill of stealing from artists who achieve more than techbros can ever dream of adds a fillip, I'm sure.
Yo guys adding a few hashtags (my interests)to try and find y'all I lost when I burnt my account 🙃
Preciate if y'all could boost.
I just post random fun shit so if y'all like the same follow me and I'll fw you fo sure.
Love Jaden ❤️

When a parent supports their child with gender-affirming care, conservatives insist the state and not parents decide what's best to protect kids.
And, now that Roe was overturned, when states decide to permit reproductive freedom for women, conservatives who once insisted states decide are now advocating a national Federal law against abortion.
Follow the bouncing ball of hypocrisy--all the way to the ballot box next November. Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. #VoteBlue

[No white reply guys, please. I'm venting - probably about you. Just shut up and listen]
Mastodon is full of white moderates with "polite" excuses for racism and racists. "Polite" excuses for supporting a genocide. "Polite" excuses for state violence against Black, Indigenous, or Arab people.
This bullshit is exhausting. And it's infuriating that few white people can see what's going on. Because this abusive polite-white racism and white supremacy is often invisible to people who don't experience it themselves. Or they benefit from maintaining the status quo of systemic racism.
But online and offline life are not disconnected spaces.
Systemic racism is driving the apartheid state of Israel to murder and terrorise Palestinians. Systemic racism is being used to excuse this genocide. Systemic racism resources IOF. And white-polite people around the world enable this violence to continue with no consequences.
But back to Mastodon....
Systemic racism is keeping Mastodon from being an inclusive, safe, anti-racist space. White-polite racism is stopping Mastodon from being an effective space to advocate for Palestinians, and to condemn the apartheid regime of Israel.
Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.
Fuck white-polite

Syrian sources: Israel bombed 2 airports tonight:
- Damascus airport
- T4 military airport
During the attacks, several anti-aircraft missiles were fired at the fighter jets and the Air Force returned with another wave of attacks and destroyed a large number of anti-aircraft systems.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
