I would have changed servers already, if it weren't for the "can't migrate posts" thing.

Might have to get over that.

You're pretty today, Houston.

This is such a good and evenhanded and true piece. I hope Masto peeps take it to heart.

Huh. Today I learned the Americans With Disabilities Act always considers #bipolar to be a disability, even if/when Social Security does not.
I prefer "neurospicy."

I've collected some #Mastodon 🦣 #instances to help with the #TwitterMigration focused in #inclusion, #accessibility and #minorities. They look like safe spaces for most of us. I'd appreciate the boost and new recommendations to add to the list:

Self-talk is more important to mental health than we realize. Those of us who grew up in abusive families tend to take on brutal self-talk in adulthood. And you don't even have to be a product of abuse for negative self-talk to impact your mental health and confidence level. What you think, you become. If you're trashing yourself mentally, your life will reflect that in some way. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. Would you say such things to your loved ones? Be gentle with yourself.

Have we got an instance, or a fork, or bots or service out there somewhere that is aggregating weather alert and weather chasers, maybe?

I'm missing my weather tweeters, they were fun, informative accounts.

Same for Provincial/national/US national/state parks accounts.

The best burn I ever heard was my grandmother talking about a person she didn’t much like, saying β€œshe knits like she has friends to give all those scarves to” 🀭🀣 #Knitting
