@stavvers there’s a weird sort of desperation to it. it’s like twitter died and bsky is its bedroom which has been kept exactly as it was just in case it ever comes back

How many #Scottish #teachers have made the move from twitter/whatever-it’s-now-called over to Mastodon? It doesn’t feel as if there are very many of us here, but I’d be keen to see more accounts…

Please boost to increase reach - thank you.

Lauren Boebert is a total hypocrite. #LaurenBoebert

People get so defensive about their post-Xitter social media, which I find incredibly silly. All of these services are too new to come to any meaningful conclusions about them. And only 2 of them promise open ecosystems. Supporting any that don’t is reckless, uninformed and selfish, imo. Just because some friends are there, is no excuse to gravitate toward another fascist-enabling, closed social media nightmare like the mess we’re all running away from.

Fuck Lauren Bobert. All these articles written about a fucking moron make the authors fucking morons.

Musk’s X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called https://arstechnica.com/?p=1968789

A lot of conflict in the Old West might have been avoided if cowboy architects had simply made their towns big enough for everyone.

To properly prepare us for another introspective #caturday, let us meditate on some cat names given to them lovingly, we assume, by their servants.

Foucault named his cat Insanity.
Derrida named his cat Logos.
Camus named his cat Cigarette.

Dear journalists:

You continue to pour your work into Musk's business. You are supporting him. You are helping him.

You are doing this despite his demonstrated contempt for you, despite his support for extremists -- and, as of today, his rank anti-semitism (effectively blaming Jews for his vile site's loss of advertising)

I know that you believe you get value from being "where the people are" -- but sometimes principle requires sacrifice.

So much is at stake.

Largely forgotten until now, between 1933 and 1945 hundreds and hundreds of Jewish women and men performed individual acts of resistance in Nazi Germany.

Jews of all ages destroyed Nazi symbols, protested in public, disobeyed Nazi laws and defended themselves against insults and physical attacks.

Hello to a new smol fren in my backyard pond. Reminds me of some of the best advice my dad ever gave me: That snake (or spider/toad/caterpillar/etc.) is more scared of you than you are of it.
