*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon

This is the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Train that is wheelchair accessible and takes you deep within the San Juan Mountains of the Rocky Mountains. https://www.durangotrain.com/

Spent 8 hours on this train excited to see something usually only able bodied campers and hikers see.

Those who follow me on The Bad Place have heard me repeat this a thousand times, but once more won't hurt.

Election security is incredibly complex, full of seemingly impossible tradeoffs. But disinformation about supposed "rigged" elections is perhaps the most serious threat to election integrity today.

The best defense is to learn how elections actualy work! Becoming a poll worker is a great way to do that

Also, this National Academies study is a terrific resource:

The Holocaust did not begin with killing; it began with words.

Genocides do not start with mass murder. That's where they end up.

Genocides & other mass atrocity crimes begin with words - specifically, with powerful people dehumanizing a minority.

Once they are seen as less than human, anything is possible, even mass murder.

πŸ‘‰ You can speak out loudly today for the rights of others, or you can stay silent & wait for tomorrow, when your rights will be taken away too.

In case you need a cute dog pic. This is Baxter, a 7 month old miniature Aussiedoodle. He’s just as sweet as he is cute!

Too much outdoor work today to contribute much. But just for grins, here's a shot of a sleepy afternoon at the corral's salad bar. L-R: Jazal, Rose (Jonah hiding behind her), Matinee.

I have to make myself stop and look every now and then just prevent frustration with property development. There is SO MUCH yet to do, yet it took months just to get far enough (water, clearing, corral, shade, etc.) to get the equines home.

this is what people have been using for groups: https://a.gup.pe . Perhaps the feature will be built into Mastodon in the future. In order to have one click access to the group posts, I create a new list, name it the name of the group and only put the guppe group profile in it. It's a workaround but it's been working well for me.

Russia is destroying a portion of its strategic nuclear arsenal merely to create decoy missiles because, as more Western air defense systems arrive and Ukrainian forces get experience taking down drones, the percentage of successful strikes against meaningful targets is rapidly decreasing. That stinks of desperation. It smells like end game.
WOW: In China protesters are chanting: "Don’t want dictatorship, want democracy!” Wishing them the best but fear for their safety. Of course if Trump were in office he would side with the Chinese leaders against people seeking democracy. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/26/china/china-protests-xinjiang-fire-shanghai-intl-hnk/index.html
