As usual history has erased the truth. It was #JoanMastodon, not #JohnMastodon. She is the one who de-extincted the giant woolly beasts of the great plains using DNA culled from a single tooth! Joan rode upon the back of the greatest tooter of them all to San Francisco, where a herd of ancient Pleistocene mammals defeated the Bad Car Man! Long live Joan! Long live Mastadonity! #noxp
@annaleen
Of course, we can't neglect the contributions of #JoMastodon, whose revelation that they were non-binary rocked the old-boys' network, helping secure the victory of #TuskOverMusk.
@annaleen
Whoa, I just checked my notifications; it looks like #TuskOverMusk has gone moderately viral.

@annaleen
I decided to try to visualize the #TuskOverMusk hashtag using an AI image generator, but most of the phrases I tried were a little too complex.

The closest I got was "an elephant destroying a car" on craiyon.com.

@annaleen I think this may be a superior timeline, but it's going to need a lot of attention.

@annaleen I'm here for the t-shirt.

NTM the moment when one finally gets to the distribution table and all of the XXL, XL shirts are gone - but plenty of S, M shirts are still available.

@ruggledome Joan always makes sure there are as many XL, XXL, and XXXL shirts as you need
@annaleen She is thoughtful/careful that way. #Leadership
@annaleen @ruggledome The Maiden of New Orleans will ensure necklaces for one and all.
@annaleen History students will be comparing and contrasting elephants-through-the-Alps and mastodons-through-the-Rockies for years to come.
@annaleen The Legend of Billie Joan! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ
@annaleen given the source I suspect the real issue is that reporter was deadnaming Joan and getting her pronouns wrong.

@annaleen I had to locate the original targets for hundreds of dead links, but I finally found this image of Joan Mastodon holding the newly manufactured federatium core that powers Mastodon to this day.

#JoanMastodon

@sarahc @annaleen I absolutely love #JoanMastodon! When she was still at a research institution, well, I heard she ran her lab like a worker's coop, against all the traditions of academia
@lizzard @sarahc she made sure all her postdocs had health insurance and supported unionization for graduate student researchers
@annaleen @lizzard @sarahc
I bet everyone in the team got credited for their research instead of just the principal investigator!
@sarahc @annaleen apropos, as the server admins are asking that we continue โ€œbearingโ€ with them
@annaleen I was hoping someone would say it was Joan. Excellent job.

@annaleen

Joan was the one dropping the comets as Erth* formed, creating the biosphere. After that she shaped the mountains using glaciers. That made the home where the original Mastodons roamed.

* In Joanโ€™s early days the planet was called โ€œErthโ€. She copied the โ€˜aโ€™ from โ€œJoanโ€ and made it โ€œEarthโ€ because it looked nicer to her that way.

@annaleen I embrace mastodonity but not toxic mastodonity. Just want that out there.

@annaleen I wish they would stop deadnaming her -- Joan transitioned years ago. But what do you expect from the right-wing media?

#JoanMastodon #JohnMastodon

@sue Joan Mastodon says trans rights!
@annaleen
...and long live the Pleistocene Era!
@annaleen sounds plausible in todays world
@annaleen This has potential for a longer uh non-fiction story ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜
@annaleen Joan was great in Shameless โ€ฆhad a thing for tooters then, too (โ€ฆdifferent Joan, you say? Are you sure??)
@annaleen this place gets more like Tumblr every day and I am here for it.
@annaleen I've heard of Pope Joan. a relative?
@annaleen @Firlefanz How well I remember her. Her hair was wild and her face shone with the joy of victory. All hail #JoanMastodon!
@annaleen this earned a follow!!!
@annaleen Preserve the Mastriarchy!
