I can't believe my hobby turned into a small business, and all because of the amazing Mastodon community of people who truly bring the change they want to see. Jewellery isn't even my main thing. Music is but it's getting increasingly harder to make a living from music. I'm going to but not there yet. Your messages, boosts, music and jewellery purchases especially at this heartbreaking time for an Israeli neurodivergent artist deeply positively impact. Thank you,

my dad, whose small Mississippi town didn’t get much news about the struggle for Civil Rights (and the news they did get was biased against the strugglers).
Still, they and their families DID celebrate their histories in ways large and small—in storytelling, and food, and /2
This #BlackHistoryMonth, I’m thinking about my forebears whose celebrations of their own histories were less “official” and more fraught—like my mom, whose ragged hand-me-down books in segregated schools bore the slurs scrawled by students who got them when they were new. And /1
"New reporting from Politico reveals that President Joe Biden has nothing but sailor-mouthed contempt for former President Donald Trump behind closed doors, calling him a 'sick f--k' and a 'f--king a--hole.' "
Trump's aide says to him, "Sir, I had a dream you got your parade.
It was miles and miles long winding through Washington DC.
Joyful Americans lined the route, literally in the millions. People were laughing, cheering, playing in the street.
You were riding in the most beautiful carriage."
Trump asks, "Was I happy?"
The aide answers, "I don't know, sir. The casket was closed."
I gave #linkedin an honest try, for a year or more, in terms of finding #work.
It's a cesspool of #toxicpositivity and fake job postings.
Now I'm asking, with all urgency -- to anyone who has anything #tech to offer, please consider a guy who has:
- 30 yrs of experience
- out of work for 20 months
- 3 kids, one of who is coming up on her first birthday
- a track record for secure systems
- a month left before being evicted
So, Trump had a secret room, and he changed the lock on its door as soon as he found out that DOJ was looking for stolen documents.
And then FBI failed to search that secret room. Why?
Because, as we learned in 2022 that the great majority of FBI agents are at least sympathetic to the insurrection.
GOP just passed a bill to deport the undocumented for DUIs. I don't drink, but this bill does not make us any safer.
•The national undocumented rate is 3.5% per State.
•MT, WY, & SC's rates are .5%, 1.1%, & 1.8%, respectively.
•MT, WY, & SC have the highest rate of drunk driving deaths.
Even the Cato Institute admits, undocumented immigrants "do not affect overall drunk driving deaths."
150 Democrats voted NO on this bill. My opponent Bill Foster voted Yes 🙄

These #Texas #traitors don't seem to be aware that the #Constitution explicitly prohibits member states from leaving the union. There is no legal mechanism for Texas to declare its independence from the #UnitedStates. So, what we're talking about is armed rebellion, and criminal charges for those who participate. These people are all about law & order until abiding by the law is inconvenient to their desires. Then, they're freedom fighters. 🙄

@TCatInReality Thomas Friedman is famous for giving Bush 6 months to get the Iraq war working right, again and again for years.
He's not insightful, and he's not trustworthy.
Friedman is no ally
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.
