Trauma survivors crave honesty and authenticity. We have had to fight for our ability to think clearly and know who we are. It’s cost us greatly. We aren’t willing to engage with those who do not honor that.

@therobburgessshow Even if he’s not the CEO, he’ll still be the owner and the new CEO will have to do what he says, so it’s six of one, half dozen of another.
Postscript: With respect to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s conspiracy theory, @gorskon very recently posted a nice article on how NIH grants are actually selected for funding.
This might not be obvious to current Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp users:
Meta is in trouble -- their very survival is at stake.
Their venture into the metaverse is costing them $10 billion a year -- and it's highly unlikely that it will have mass appeal any time soon.
But at some point, this entire stack of cards will come crashing down.
We must *listen* to these real concerns & the very different lived realities of ppl who are disabled. COVID has only confirmed what we've known of the ableism rampant in all policies & attitudes.
I mentioned the unfortunate death of Terry Hall yesterday, and now his longtime bandmate Horace Panter has the sad background of what happened. Cancer sucks.
The Iranian government has executed two people — Mohsen Shekari and Majid-Reza Rahnavard — since protests erupted in September.

It’s not too late to cancel your Christmas travel plans. If your family is mean to you, cancel. If the weather is too dangerous, cancel. If you don’t want to catch a virus, cancel. You can just stay home. I love you. ❤️

I find myself becoming increasingly more annoyed at people who are both selfish and ill informed. I remember back when folks would sheepishly answer "I'm not into politics, because it's boring" but now every asshole who has an ICDC College certificate of attendance thinks that they're Tip O'Neill, except they're going to lecture you about how vaccines are satanic before trying to cure themselves of covid with cat pee and essential oils.
For anyone wondering, I'm still unable to access Twitter until I delete this tweet, which is factual journalism that doesn't even break the location rule Twitter enacted a few days ago. The account isn't marked as suspended anymore, but I can't use it or see tweets from people I follow. Using Mastodon exclusively for now and actually really enjoying it.

@lindyli All public officials at all levels should have to produce their tax returns before they can run for office.
Well it looks like I'm going deeper into the #fediverse.
For a long time I've been wanting to abandon goodreads (because Bezos sucks too) and it looks like #Bookwyrm is a great alternative.
So I've joined, but I'm lonely there. Hit me up fedifriends!
Republicans warn that revealing Trump’s taxes will lead to demands for Supreme Court members to release taxes.
My response? Yes. Please!
ALL Govt positions that are #taxpayer funded *should* be accountable to the public and #transparent.
#SCOTUS makes decisions that USE our tax $$$. For example, things like school vouchers for some private, religious institutions. Why should they enjoy secrecy about finances??

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.
