Spouse thinks he will get 50% of my royalties after the divorce because "he supported me." Yeah, no. Let's talk about the tens of thousands of dollars you spent on sex workers. Or as you call it "misappropriated marital funds."

I see that @[email protected] has made it to Mastodon. I have suspended it from religion.masto.host, and will suspend any other content scraping bots I become aware of.

Thread readers scrape content without the consent of the creator, move it to a website outside of the creator's control, and sometimes monetise it, as discussed here:

We’ve reached that time of year where it’s dark by 5:30 and I just want to hibernate
Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
Trans rights are human rights, click boost. 

Hashtags are great and should also be used liberally -that's how we find stuff we're interested in, across the fediverse. HOWEVER, Hashtags [can be difficult for people with visual impairment or ND people] so please use them [most of them] at the end of your post, in a hashtag block, not scattered throughout. One or two are okay.
Edited to add: CamelCase is more important for screenreaders!

Next Twitter Announcements - A Bingo Card

Since I was joking about this with two friends over text message about the poor decisions that the new head of Twitter is making, and I asked "Is there a bingo card?" and one said … | Cogito, Ergo Sumana | Blog by Sumana Harihareswara, Changeset founder

In Finland, all new PhD holders are given a traditional PhD Sword & Top Hat during a Conferment Ceremony. The sword & hat symbolise the freedom of research and the fight for what is good, right and true.

So many people are having a bad first experience with Mastodon because they're using the official app which is lacking features, doesn't allow image uploads randomly, has random slowness, and doesn't give you easy access to the two most active feeds where you can find people (Local and Federated).

Please switch to Metatext, Tusky, or Tooot for a better mobile experience (or even use a browser).

Out of the >15k users that joined this week, over 11k are on the official apps.

TERFs aren't welcome on Mastodon. If you're upset by this, I'd like to invite you to this one small instance which you'll really enjoy. It's called amontillado.cellar and it's great, just follow me down these steps
