The question for every Republican shouldn’t be whether or not they intend to support Trump. The question should be for how much longer they intend to belong to a white supremacist political party dedicated to overthrowing the constitution and installing a theocratic autocracy.

That is the question. That’s the frame. Everything else is delaying exonerative nonsense.

If you haven't already, would strongly recommend pinning an introductory toot to your profile. If you have particular images or video or audio you want to feature, they can be attached to pinned toots.

Also, pinned toots are automatically "backfilled" so you never have a blank profile on any server.

To add a pinned toot:

1. Log in with a third party app or through your server's website
2. Go to the toot you want to pin
3. Click ⋯ and "pin on profile"

You can also pin several toots at once!

Not to sound like woke radical lefties, but we are very much against terminating the United States Constitution.

We need a new political press almost as much as we need a new Supreme Court majority.

I just love this.

Like with early Twitter, I'm going to follow folks that follow me until they are a problem or that policy itself becomes a problem.

I generally prefer organic growth in network, but when stuff goes semi-viral, that pulls in a bunch of people, not all of whom are up for the wide array of what I talk about.

I don't actively care about follower count as a number. I mostly like haven enough people to talk with that are interesting/interested.

I have never in my life learned from another person’s mistakes, I would literally let a giant wooden horse into my house right this second.

Mastodon is the last social media platform I’ll use. If this doesn’t work out I’m going back to chain emails that threaten to murder you if you don’t forward them.

It's a frosty day out there on this sixth day of #ArtAdventCalendar, so here's one I call "Snowy Owl on a Mini Wheat."

I thought I had built myself some bookshelves. Clearly I was in error. I built catshelves.

Rim-Lit Red.

During the winter months in Scotland, when the sun remains low in the sky, it can cast shards of light through a woodland, lighting parts up, leaving the rest in shade.

Here I used such light, and exposed for it (not the overall scene as my eyes were seeing it) to get this effect, showing just the illuminated rim of the squirrel's fur, and nothing much else.

Thanks for all the fantastic comments, likes and boosts on my images. Very humbling. 😊

It’s time for snuggles 💜

It seems to me that over the past 25 years, people just caved and said, "In order to fight surveillance capitalism, we have to join the surveillance capitalist hellscape that is Big Social—otherwise no one will know we're against it."

And to be real with you, I get it. I've been there. Hell, I once worked in the belly of the beast.

But I finally got the courage to quit it all.

And you know what? Once you make it to the other side, it's nice.
