Mom, wife, teacher.
Grateful for everyone working to give birdsite refugees a place to land.

The #GinniThomas testimony is alarming. She admitted discussing her convos with Meadows in the run-up to 1/6 in real time with her husband, a sitting Justice on #SCOTUS.
Justice Thomas then participated in ruling on a case regarding whether those communications should be produced, knowing his wife was a participant.
I don’t blame Justice Thomas for his wife’s conduct. I blame him for not recusing himself from 1/6 cases. It’s very, very basic ethics. It’s unconscionable.
With each new surge of Mastodon users, I feel the need to point out:
1. Welcome!
2. There is a learning curve here, but most people find it short and not very steep. Play around, explore. You'll get it.
3. Lots of people are willing to help.
4. Yes, it's different than Twitter. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not. But you'll figure it out.
5. With surges especially, things sometimes get slow/glitchy, but they usually get fixed pretty quick.
Be patient.
I’ve had issues with this on Instagram, Twitter, and all the rest of the socials but only after trying four different Mastodon apps did it occur to me:
The hardest user interface aspect to get right is making a ”Follow“ button that makes clear whether you’re already following someone or whether you need to click it to follow them.
Apologies people who think I can’t make up my mind about you. I did want to follow you.
