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.

Showered and scrubbed now
It's damp outside today but not rainy, I should at very least take a walk of around 30 minutes
but most definitely a just poke along day I don't have any faster than poke along

I love reading The Continent. I highly recommend it for perspectives from African journalists. You can subscribe to it for free on WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.
Text of attached image from todays’s issue of The Continent:
NAMIBIA. Another small fragment of stolen Africa returned.
Finland this week handed back fragments of a sacred Namibian stone that was desecrated by two Finns in 1886.
The two, a missionary and a geologist, saw a stone in northern Namibia that no one was allowed to touch but chipped at it, ostensibly because they wanted to know if it was a meteorite. The fragments eventually passed on to the National Museum of Finland and will now go to the National Museum of Namibia.
Africans have yet to go to Europe and desecrate important sites out of curiosity.
Not that they’d get visas.

No, we do.
What Scott is doing is fine. The rest of the Black folk on here see comments like yours constantly, and don't engage, because it's exhausting to respond, and there are so many of you. And because even if we respond to homework demands to "prove it!" that never turns into any meaningful action by the people demanding that proof.
So we greatly appreciate people like Laurie and Scott. It doesn't change your mind, but it does show Black folk support.

I’m in Chicago this weekend, so no new photos for #caturday. Instead, I’ll post one of my favorite photos of Nevaeh.

So why do you think Mastodon is so white?

Right now, blocks won’t work with third party Bluesky clients because blocks are not currently supported in AT protocol.
It surprises me that this feature is still not available protocol-wide.

Since I broke the story of #Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller's new transphobic dress code in the @TexasObserver, he's doubled down on his bigotry in the media.
For my latest update, I spoke with an employment lawyer, a former #gender law educator turned senior attorney for Lambda Legal, and #LGBTQIA+ advocates about why this dress code opens the department up to serious legal liability, and how decades of precedent suggest it could easily be ruled discriminatory: https://www.texasobserver.org/sid-miller-dress-code-transphobia-texas-agriculture/

He’s so tired. He went on a 3-hour patrol today with no breaks!
Okay, maybe one. 🐊

I just edited my previous post because I felt I wasn’t explaining myself well enough and I wanted to make an amendment.
I don’t know what my life would be without Mastodon’s post editing.
