"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

Twitter, at the moment, is like going to a holiday get together with your family. Yeah, there are some cool people there and you get to see some folks you miss and have interesting surface-level conversations with them, but there are also racists and fascists and someone trying to rope you into a pyramid scheme.

Mastodon is coming home afterwards and meeting up with your friends and decompressing with people you choose to hang with, in pajama pants and a hoodie.

In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”

The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail #HistoryRemix

From the Archives: Wear slacks to court and go to jail

On Nov. 9, 1938, Helen Hulick, 28, wore slacks during a court appearance to testify against two men. Judge Arthur S. Guerin rescheduled her case, asking Hulick to return wearing a dress.

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
Good to see some of Australia's alternative media making its way onto Mastodon #auspol @theconversationau
