As a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, I believe that decentralization and the federation of the internet will lead to stronger unions and a more cohesive progressive presence in politics.

The world is changing, baby. Join the utopian revolution of tomorrow: all you have to do is be kind and spread postivity.

I've officially deleted my Twitter account after today's news. I kept coming back cause of some of the friendships and content, but it's over. Fuck it, I'll do the same with Reddit before they become a publicly traded company.
The outrage over security from TikTok might be taken a bit more seriously if we didn't just watch Facebook admit to enabling Rohingya genocide, help to manipulate the 2016 election, cause massive PTSD to its own employees, and face zero meaningful accountability whatsoever.

I like how when we're trying to get #Medicare for all and student #debt relief there's all this handwringing about "who's going to pay for it" and "it's not fair to those who made sacrifices" but when a bank fails...

"Actually, all that money was fake. We just need to adjust this ledger with a few numbers and boom! It's like it never happened! Carry on, citizen!"

Let me just come right out and say it: I love Bernie Sanders.

I love Bernie because he has more guts than any politician I know.

Hell, he has more guts than just about anyone I know. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-i-love-bernie-sanders

Why I love Bernie Sanders

He doesn’t stop

I'm fascinated (if that's the right word) by conferences (including ones about #disability !) refusing any hybrid or virtual access as many return to in-person (often with little mitigation, as if the last years never happened).

Tbf, args against virtual options seem to repeat standard anti- #accessibility excuses: too much money, too hard, loses too much, not enough demand, our people don't want it, etc.

So, what makes the justification to refuse all virtual access for conferences ethical?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Some days it feels like my ADHD is under control, and others it feels like I’ve got AD4K

Here's one difference between #Mastodon and #Post (I'm not a fan of Post): I posted (at Post) a question about how something works over there. I got 2 "thumbs up" but no answers.

If I do that here, I get a wonderful onslaught of suggestions, replies helping me through the issue.

This has been a public service announcement.

What’s good Mastodon!? What do we call ourselves? Mastos? Mastodoners! Doners? FEDERALISTS?? Please tell me we are federalists. I would love to reclaim that word.
