Badger State. ♿. Tired. I follow people who are smarter or funnier than me.
Damn Lexington traffic

In #Wisconsin, our motto is #forward. Love to see my state vote the right person in for the job.

But people, you have to do a better job with understanding the referenda.

begging people to stop romanticizing the pre-industrial era
I am really tired of authors writing about historical women's clothing without knowing the first thing about how it was made or worn or laundered or how it felt to wear it. If you can write that much detail about weapons or vehicles or whatever else the hero finds interesting, you could at the very least bother to learn that women could, in fact, draw a deep and comfortable breath while wearing a corset. It feels rather insulting, frankly.

A quick reminder that law enforcement *responds* to crime, but a living wage, food and water security, accessible healthcare, and public education *prevent* crime.

If you want safer communities, invest in people, not punishments.

I am furious. For 10 days, Lakota Sioux have been snowed in and trapped in South/North Dakota. I just now heard about this. People are dying. Many have no heat, they can’t get food or fuel. They are burning clothes.

In America. In 2022. The National Guard was called out, *finally*. Unconscionable.

I am waiting to hear re: donations but this appears to be a start (not sure how quickly the goods can be delivered): https://friendsofpineridgereservation.org/a-blankets-quilts-comforters-donation-drive-for-pine-ridge-reservation/

"We're fighting a losing battle," says Oglala Sioux Tribe's president as the reservation is cut off by impassable roads.

Elon Musk to fake-quit as CEO of birbsite at some point in the future when he eventually wants to

There, I fixed your headlines folks

Infuriating that journos are allowing themselves to take the bait of that non-statement as a policy, when the actual story is "Elon Musk says he isn't ready to quit yet; despite poll saying he would"

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction

Space Karen Sucks

Free speech really should be free. To bypass the new censorship regime at twitter, use this URL shortener to link to Mastodon or other censored destinations.
