So... bc I've been moving away from Twitter I'm not using Tweetdeck. Which means I'm seeing trending topics for the first time.

Folks... there's been a trans topic trending just about every single day. Is this personalized for me? Is it the norm? Has it been a particularly trans-heavy Twitter topics week?

If this is even close to normal I am newly dumbfounded that this story has recieved as little attention, and as piss-poor coverage, in the mainstream press as it has got.

It’s -32C with -43 windchill
YEG if you see anyone out there in distress dial #211 and touch 3

The big news is not that a committee of Congress has made a criminal referral urging that the DOJ prosecute a former president. The big news is that the committee has compiled overwhelming evidence that the former president has committed serious crimes. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-news-about-the-january-6?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=365422&post_id=91755428&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Does your favorite resister still not want to leave twitter? Funding and legitimizing an alt right, authoritarian site isn’t reason enough to leave?

Then remember how twitter collects personal data—then sells it to nefarious governments? Governments who kill reporters and citizens whenevs?

6) Westerns think there is a fever and antibiotic shortage now? ➡️Wait until China’s production is diverted from exports! Here—people rushed to a pharmaceutical factory to buy ibuprofen because it is completely sold out elsewhere! Dec 18, in #Zhuhai City.

This picture was accidentally taken with my iPhone 13 Pro. Being out in the country I wanted to take advantage of the lesser light pollution and get a clear image of the stars—only to get photobombed by the Milky Way. #photography

Streets are pretty empty around me, the Auntie who helps me clean, her husband is Trash Uncle (sorry! We do descriptive names, he is the sanitation man for the community) got COVID😢 I was able to give them ibuprofen and an extra SPO2 meter, he's ok but 50 so I'm really worried😞

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

@AliceVie @silverspookgames 🤷‍♀️ if I see anyone punch down on people showing off what they make be it single people or brands I’ll mute or block them , Mastodon needs more of everyone and everything and less gatekeepers with too much time on their hands that want to force their way onto others
