So here's my Mastodon #introduction

I'm based in Australia and build digital communications plans. My background was TV so I'm someone who loves the power of story.

I was a Twitter original and believe in the power of social media.

I'm here to see if this is the network for me. Threads has left me a little underwhelmed. #SayHi

Handing over information about people to nazi government officials is called INFORMING. This is already happening with transgender Americans.

Awhile ago I saw a post mentioning @clarkesworld a magazine I didn't know anything about. Nothing strange about that, I'm usually not particularly clued up. It mentioned something about subscriptions via Amazon ending. I got curious and bought a digital copy, and realised how much fun short fiction can be.
Magazines need subscribers so we can get that fun fiction. So, now I am one. If you can, subscribe to a magazine and help not just them, but other readers too

People that fear seeing themselves as animals are often prey to dealing ineffectively with the fact that they ARE animals, so the animal parts of their nature are mismanaged and neglected.

For some, it can be scary, but once you have dealt with it, you feel more at peace with yourself.

A house stands on its humble foundation, not on its gables.

One notable aspect was the differential treatment between crack cocaine and powder cocaine offenses. The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, signed into law by Reagan, established significantly harsher penalties for crack cocaine, which was more prevalent in low-income urban communities, predominantly impacting African-Americans.

Archaeologists uncover a prosperous little town that rose to prominence in 1200 BCE, after the catastrophic end to the Bronze Age. Just another hint from history that civilizations don't collapse -- they transform, and there is always a place where people are trying to do better. #archaeology #history https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/documenting-a-maritime-mercantile-community-through-surface-survey-porto-rafti-bay-in-the-postcollapse-aegean/483FC2DB7F9E3F8AB70242A0B2B30080

This website is well worth a browse to pick up some gorgeous, usable art for yourself, or as a gift.

Portugal decriminalised drugs in 2001 and subsequently treated drug abuse as a public health issue. Between 1999 and 2016 deaths from overdose fell by 92%.

If Westminster refuses to even consider this approach then future deaths are on their hands.

Interesting fact of the day:

The TASER is named after Taylor Swift, and the name is an acronym for "Taylor A. Swift's Electric Rifle"
