@TundraWolf I like to call the regular kind 'dirt leopards'.

So I try to hop to a furry oriented server and can't migrate my account because this instance is defederated as I suspected it would end up being. Fantastic.

'Don’t get stressed about which server you choose, you can always transfer your account to another server later.'

'Let's have a look what's in the local timeline on the instance, maybe it's improved since the last time I poked about...' *Spam, spam, crypto, some sh*thead posting about gold prices and Tommy Robinson* Alright, time to look at relocating before this instance gets defederated.

As the nation celebrates its 247th birthday, some Native Americans will use social media posts, T-shirts and other messaging to draw attention to three words written in the Declaration of Independence to describe their ancestors: "merciless Indian savages."

A "merciless" reminder of Indigenous history on July 4

Phrase in Declaration of Independence reflects how racism was baked into nation's founding document.

So.

Yesterday, @ABC tweeted a headline that declared that Moms for Liberty were “fighting back.”

MANY people asked:fighting against what? It was an example of both sides-ism and normalization par excellence.

After lots of people objected, they removed it.

NEVER forget that your voice matters. And that the voice of the people can have real power.

@davidgerard I bet he's the type of person who calls themself a 'classical liberal' as they want to be a social conservative and still get invited to parties.

@wawik It's right wing July 4th where they're celebrating colonies that weren't founded by colonists and can't be described as such, and weren't all white people but were all white people who just had black and native friends who worked for free 365 days a year but also didn't do any work for rich people from wealthy land owning families that kept them as slaves. The same men escaping the horror of being ruled over by a rich person from a wealthy land owning family, for jesus, who they all loved

Apparently it’s 8 years today since I discovered that adding googly eyes to the tap on a wine box makes it look like Shaun the Sheep.
