@Andydrewz please don’t call us “mastodoning mates” - if my wife ever catches this line I’m busted.

My heart breaks for the victims of the Colorado Springs shooting, but AOC isn’t here for hollow expressions of sympathy.

After Lauren Boebert offered “thoughts and prayers” to victims and their families, AOC was quick to call her out for her own culpability in the violence.

On point as always, AOC.

Read what she said about Boebert here:

Shamima Begum is a British citizen who was brainwashed and trafficked as a fifteen year old to Syria. She lost three children in an Isis ‘marriage’. She should be allowed home, have her citizenship restored and be rehabilitated with her family.

Disturbed by reports of Black Mastodon users—Black women in particular—having negative experiences on this app, including being randomly banned for discussions of racism. Some of these users will not come back. All will share their experiences. The answer is not to condescendingly lecture them on “how the fediverse works,” as if their experiences are inevitable, nor to swear to do better next time. (There may not be one.) It’s to do better now lest the reputation of this app be cemented.
October was full of rainbows. This one over Shieldaig Island:

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. RT if you agree 🌳

Ready for the #worldCup? You will need the ultimate excuse when your team is (un)expectedly defeated. The one and only Brian Clough gets it in one.
People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!
