I do not know why it is called the United States of America. There is nothing united about the way this administration is governing.
United, they are tearing families apart.
United, they are justifying violence.
United, they are telling lies.
United, they are asking us to doubt what we can see with our own eyes.
They are united, yes, but toward harm rather than humanity, toward cruelty rather than love.

I’m currently visiting relatives and staying at Thorness Bay, and I decided I’d try something from “Scoops” . I went with a "Signature Sundae" - and let me say that it was proper nice… considering I hate Ice Cream and avoid it like the plague: that should say something!

(No doubt my IBS will make me pay for my hubris in the coming hours! 😅)

[Musk Reposted Meme Calling Americans Who Use Federal Programs the Parasite Class.]

Americans who use federal programs still purchase things, pay for rent, go to the doctor, own cars, pay for gas, etc.
All these things go back to the system that keeps society in America going.
Low income people, disabled people, LGBTQ, POC, all still keep society going.
It's crazy how they just don't see that. Or refuse to see that.

My having PTSD provides a job for my therapist. Amongst all her other patients.
My back issues, provide work for my physical therapist.
Same thing for my doctor, nutritionist, and dentist.
I may not work as much as people who are greedy and lack common sense.
But my ailments provide work for people who need to make a living. All of us keep the world going.

🏈 Game Day! 🏈

I’m not too invested. The whole thing feels like modern-day slavery to me, with the players being treated like assets, not people. 😔

Still, if you’re watching, who are you rooting for? Drop your picks below!

Most of us enter the New Year with optimism and end up being disappointed.

Maybe we should be pessimistic at first, then we wouldn't be disappointed.

@noellemitchell I don't know the reasons for the shutdowns, but I think that now that Mastodon is becoming more and more popular, some admins are realizing that the whole thing is too big for them. What started as a little side project with open registrations quickly turned into a "full time job" with costs explosion and massive amount of unattractive stuff like content moderation. So the friendly place as it started is now exhausting for one or a little amount of persons.

All the newbies with their new instances hopefully know of what they are doing. You need a concept to be sustainable, especially when the registrations are open to every one. If there was more transparency about what the financial and staffing situation of this instance is, some users would already look for another one or get involved.. More instances should be operated by associations or NGO's and not just by one or two persons.

But we will see how it goes on.
