"Transition almost automatically involves social decline." (Mine Pleasure Bouvar Wenzel)

I don't know. I see lots of siblings struggling. I've always been a lucky squit. So I try to use the influence and life I have to help others.

That's what community is for, innit?

I'm sick and tired of being unable to gig, or even go to gigs, due to the lack of COVID cautious events with sensible mitigations (masks, LFTs, ventilation etc)

I'm not the only one, and I know such events are starting to happen in the UK and elsewhere.

Thinking v srsly about putting sth together locally, but first I need to find out more.

So if you know of any COVID cautious music events anywhere in the world, please let me know.

(Pls boost?)

You know what I wish the more human-centered tech conferences would do right now?

Open up special tickets and speaking slots for scientists whose work is getting axed and whose fields are being obliterated right now. I bet you anything this would bring some radical insight to your audiences and incredible energy to your stages.

I can advertise this for you through my social science networks. I am seeing scores of brilliant young social scientists with years of relevant work grieve right now

Do any of my follows/followers have an influence on tech conferences? This is a brilliant idea from Dr. Hicks.

Elections are like public transit: If one bus is going directly to the concentration camp, and the other bus also goes to the concentration camp but takes longer and has better scenery, you get on neither bus and burn down the nation.

Why is my home feed suddenly full of randoms I don't follow, and how do I fix it?

Hi everyone. This is an uncomfy thing for me to do the past few posts. My mother just passed away by suicide. She was my caregiver and I relied on her financially. I just put in an application for disability. As such, I haven't been able to eat so my family member entered my mom's cat into a pet contest. I need the prize to support myself until I get disability

This is urgent. Please vote. #Cats #cat #CatsOfMastodon

so just don't, white men. Normalize saying things like "I hadn't considered that" and "you have a good point" and practice accepting that you aren't the smartest person in every room. Consider that what other people are saying might have merit before opening your fucking mouth. Pay fucking attention to your ego.

A very merry fuck you to everyone who kept telling me "we can't do x y or z because we can't risk giving Trump an excuse to invoke martial law".

Bitch, he's a fascist. He doesn't need an excuse. Fascism is the excuse. This is "if I'm good, maybe he won't hit me" energy.

Fuck that. Become ungovernable.
