Staying on twitter because you need the income is an extremely poor long term plan because it will only continue worsening over time

The longer you wait to build a community elsewhere the harder it'll be when you finally have to because twitter can no longer sustain you

"Oh well thats easy for you to say you have 5000 followers on mastodon"

1. Yes because I took my own advice and aggressively invested in other places immediately when the writing for twitter was on the wall

2. I had two and a half times that amount of followers on twitter, AND I'm poor enough that we couldn't run heat all winter, AND I was still on the tail end of a nervous breakdown when I moved here. It was not "easy", but it was necessary, so I did it, because that's how it is on this bitch of an earth

Enjoying the view. #Fanore #Clare #Ireland #Ocean #Cow

North Dakota republican politicians just looked their constituents in the eyes and said, "We don't have money in the budget for your children's lunches but we have a bottomless pit for our Mimosas". DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE! #politics #news https://newrepublic.com/post/171716/north-dakota-senate-votes-increase-meal-budget-rejecting-free-school-lunch-bill

I have in my entire career so far treated zero complications of mifepristone, and maybe a half dozen from medical or surgical abortion overall. I have treated thousands of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) overdoses, scores of diphenhydramine (Benadryl) overdoses, and dozens of baclofen (Lioresal) and alprazolam (Xanax) overdoses. I’ve watched people die from aspirin overdoses and aspirin-related bleeds. This judge in Texas is a disingenuous lying scumbag.

It's honestly weird that, as a department chair, I'm held to higher standards on financial improprieties than a goddamn justice at the Supreme Court.

James Tapper reports tnat French and German tourists to Britain have declined significantly after Brexit. He writes,

"The decline is not just down to the issue of passports – Brexit has also battered the perception of Britain as a welcoming nation for tourists."

Indeed. The go-it-alone approach is simply not feasible in an interconnected global community. Brexiters shot themselves in the feet by pretending they needed no one but themselves any longer.

“After a GOP lawmaker was accused of sexually assaulting 15- & 16-year-old girls he had taught & coached, he was made chair of the education committee.”

It's now TWO YEARS and 93 since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Indict trump for Jan 6!

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Check this guy out.

Speaking as an anesthesiologist that's spent more time in labor and delivery than most non-obstetricians will spend in their lifetimes, I cannot stress this enough: innocent people will die if mifepristone is outlawed. And it won't be in a few weeks or months— it will happen within hours. Judges should not be practicing medicine. Full stop.

This image was taken last year at Holland Ridge Farms in Cream Ridge, NJ. They don't have an opening date yet. The tulips still haven't reached full color yet. Hopefully within the next week!

Relax time.. 😊

Hoping Mastodon can help me... I'm looking for someone to translate a single sentence from English into Hindi for me. It needn't be someone with experience in translation, but it's important that they have experience writing and speaking colloquial Hindi, and can translate this sentence in an everyday, informal style. It should be a fairly quick thing; I'm happy to pay for an hour of someone's time upfront (and more, of course, in the unlikely event it takes longer).

Titus Canyon Exit

After taking a very enjoyable, somewhat nerve-wracking drive through Titus Canyon the road comes to an end. No this isn't the end but seems to be as you approach the walls that are near vertical. Titus Canyon changes from a beautiful wide canyon and finds its way through a seemingly vertical wall. It turns into a slot canyon that barely fits a full size truck.
