ooooh since I can't post elsewhere... Anyone that's on here that lives in or near NY... Several of us have regular leftist get togethers at a bar in NYC and it's always good times.

We are having one of our get togethers on Saturday 1/26 at a bar in the East Village in NYC. I don't post the location publicly, but if you're interested DM me for info...

@MissJules5x Will @PattiTweets be doing tequila shots sashaying on the bar while rejecting all those RWNJs from Staten Island who hit on her again?
@TheXclass @PattiTweets LOL that would be fun, but we usually down the prosecco and white wine 😂
@MissJules5x Prosecco could spark aggression. I hope no one talks politics. lol
@PattiTweets
@TheXclass
You're supposed to come to NYC and hang out with us.
@MissJules5x
@PattiTweets I'm there a lot during the week. I'll definitely need to drag you out. Hopefully, you'll make me miss my plane. @MissJules5x
@TheXclass
LOL! Probably.
@MissJules5x
@PattiTweets So you gonna hang out here with us in Twitter Heaven or are you returning to the mortal world?
@MissJules5x

@TheXclass

I'm hanging out here. I'm scaling my usage of the Twitter way back.

@MissJules5x

@TheXclass @MissJules5x

Can't say I love the usability of this site though.
Following people is a task, ffs. 😕

@PattiTweets Yeah, I know. But you're following the cool people already. ☺
And the founder likes to reach out to @MissJules5x for feedback.

Twitter was even more raw when I first started there.

@TheXclass

This is true. Twitter was raw. I really loved tweetdeck back in the day then Twitter bought it and ruined it.

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets Yeah. I used Uber Twitter on my phone in the early days of "Apps" which was so cool and then Twitter killed that, too. @MissJules5x
@PattiTweets Is there bickering and petty personal vendettas happening over there, still?
@MissJules5x

@TheXclass

Yeah... I'm not entirely clear on all that happened. I was dm'd on one issue regarding Tom Joads Ghost (whom I know) and then some b.s. with MG and Lumpy at Actify and they broke up.
Apparently neither man is on the left enough -- idk and nor do I think that's true.

@MissJules5x

@TheXclass @MissJules5x

What pissed me off is:
My Patreon for Actify was transferred to a *new* account. Um, no.

@PattiTweets I think I read that wrong initially. I'm definitely current on any of the personal battles. Love MG and Lumpy to death. Hate to see conflict there. I don't know Tom.
I hate that ppl can't have political differences and remain friends.
@MissJules5x

@TheXclass
It is sad about Lumpy and MG. I'm very disappointed.
I know what's (or who) is behind pushing.
Whatever. I don't think I can get them off that platform.

Jules knows Tom.

Bickering over who is or isnt more in need is the base of the disagreement.

I mean... really?

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets The demands for absolute purity within a group promoted tribalism and that's a tragedy. I blame Group DMs for that. It was never the same after those became standard. Amplifies the echo chamber effect.
@MissJules5x

@TheXclass

YES!!!! I am not in any groups anymore period.
I left the #MAHA thread (not sure if youre familiar) and slammed the door on that too.

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets *Definitely NOT current. Yikes. @MissJules5x
@TheXclass
I know what you meant, lol. Somehow!
@MissJules5x
@PattiTweets You still get me ♥ @MissJules5x

@TheXclass

Same! ❤

Is Paul Knox over here?

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets No. Pops is prolly at the Whole Foods produce section or roaming the park trying to find a date. Lol. Haven't heard from him. @MissJules5x

@TheXclass

LOL!!!!
Oh okay.

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets I do miss hitting Pops up with that and the Costanza gifs. There used to be humor allowed over there. @MissJules5x

@TheXclass
I'm not kidding when I say it's not the same since you left. We used to have a good time. Now, it's... not entertaining at all.
I will catch you later. Heading out to do errands and visit dad. Xo❤

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets It's safe here. As you know, 🎶 All my exes live on Twitter.... That's why I reside on Mastodon. 🎶

Enjoy your Saturday with Dad! ♥ Ge@[email protected]

@TheXclass

Basically, MG was making a point of AAs being impoverished due to racism and somehow it turned into what aboutism. And also that racism isnt the core of AA poverty.

Hmmm. 🤔

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets What an ugly rabbit hole. If you can bring MG and Lumpy to my retirement home here, I bet I can fix it. I think I helped raise them both from pups. 😁 @MissJules5x

@TheXclass

Yessss... we grew up together.
It's so true.
I will try.

@MissJules5x

@TheXclass
It wasn't the political disagreements that were the real issue... it was the hostile nature of the convos and that quickly spiraled into abuse, threats of doxxing and constant harassment on and off Twitter.
@PattiTweets

@MissJules5x Yeah. I hear you. The downward spiral of slight disagreements.
But here's what hurts: I spent years fighting the worst of the gun nuts, racists, MRAs, and forced birthers.
They'd try to dox and get ugly. But there were limits that were respected.

The ones who posted pics of my kids, actually doxxed me, got me banned, and actually attacked offline were Dems - mostly Hillbots. Former friends. They took no prisoners and had no limits. Savages. That surprised me.
@PattiTweets

@TheXclass

Yes. We had fun with the gun nuts 😂

When I lost my first account 5 years ago I never made a big presence on there again.

It just went downhill 2015 forward.

Watching you X and then Jules get blasted has really pissed me off.

People are a little effing insane.

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets I looked at my history and noticed that the enjoyable, comedic, and even flirty side of Twitter that served as such a solid distraction from real life ended the moment Trump came down that escalator in the summer of 2015.

The tone changed dramatically. @MissJules5x

@TheXclass

I try to have fun. The fact Trump is on Twitter, killed Twitter. Trump killed fun.

@MissJules5x

@PattiTweets lol. I think Trump coming on the scene just brought the worst out in every else. At this rate Social media, as we know it, will be dead in a few years. Only rich people and the cock roaches will have a platform. @MissJules5x

@TheXclass
@MissJules5x

This guy follows me on twitter amd posts art to me. He's the most fun I have. I don't even smoke weed.
😂😭

@PattiTweets Oh Good. Psychedelic Twitter is making a comeback. 🌿 😂 @MissJules5x
