Imagine how shitty you have to be to get booed by people who are still willing to pay money to go see Dave Chapelle

In the process of trying to burn down a powerful site for information and discourse, he inadvertently pushed us all towards a better one.

Thankful for his misstep. Let the brightly burning, inflammatory, attention seeking narcissists have their playground. It'll be empty soon enough.

@kathygriffin this is a beautiful, haunting piece. “It's frustrating for me because Chappelle, Joe Rogan, Kanye West and Elon Musk; none of them have ever been canceled or erased, they need to calm down. Do they need clarity on what this looks like when it's real?” So well said.
I know something about what it’s like when people take a photo out of context and run with it (the subject of a book I just finished after 7 years of writing). I’m wishing you the best, wherever you land.

I do not like that site of birds
I do not like its awful words
I do not like what it became
I do not like its cult of shame
I do not like intrusive ads
I do not like the vapid fads
I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm
But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down

Never did do an #introduction post so here goes.....

Communications is a thread that runs throughout my life.... as a kid I wrote letters to summer camp friends, I found that love of communications fueled my education and work.

I'm a #publicspeaker and communications strategist, and keep the audience front and center. #Southern girl who has lived outside her geography a long time. Hates cold weather. #Podcast is Grounded by the Farm groundedbythefarm.com. Also goes by JPlovesCOTTON.

It's gone. My #Birdsite account is deactivated and will be fully deleted in January.

It was a fine start, but the community I've ended up building here has been far more meaningful...and with far fewer fascists and chasers.

Thanks for giving me a new home, Mastodon.

Look, if I set a limit and I inform you of that boundary and then you continue to cross it despite me asking you politely not to, I'm going to block you without apology. I'm bummed though. I joined here one month ago today, and that was the first time I had to block someone here. It seems with the influx of new people from #TwitterMigration, some of them want to come here just to argue? That's not why I'm here. Going to post some pet pics now✌

My non-legal advice: if your actions facially meet the elements of the crime in the group chat name, change the group chat name. https://www.afr.com/companies/financial-services/ftx-s-inner-circle-had-a-secret-chat-group-called-wirefraud-20221213-p5c5sx (h/t @mmasnick )

One of the bf’s newish employees told him today that Elon Musk and Ron DeathSantis are teaming up to abolish mRNA technology used in Covid vaccines. People in this red village suck but they assume everybody is red so they just talk and talk. Now. I hear some weird stuff pretty much daily and I have to put it here because there is no where else to put it.

COVID-19 has erased two decades of life expectancy growth in the US. Yet, leaders are still trying to gaslight us into believing that the US had one of the best responses to the pandemic.

Society is capricious and irrational about when it will pay for the novelty of human labor over automation. We'll pay for a human to make us complicated coffee- that could be easily be automated, but not want to pay the exact same human to sketch our portrait or sing us a song.

Not smart to argue with someone who has zero fucks left.

@sandofsky After a Twitter session, one feels dirty and filled with the venom created by
monetized "angertertainment."
After a Mastodon session I want to go to the library and learn more about Roman Aqueducts.
