● Resistance is to be the proverbial thorn in your family’s back, the rebellious black sheep, the unsubmissive voice of reason and confrontation.

@Iwalkalone All of us have our own ways of engaging with public discourse. I did not expect so many people to follow on to the Mastodon platform. But now that there is a community of settlers out here, the question is of consolidating the settlement and making it a better outpost of free speech.
