uncomplicated is my middle name. unfortunately, hardly, is my first.
I took this photo on the beach today.
It reminded me that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
There really is.
My daughter worries about me running around in an inflatable costume. Today she wanted to be sure that I understand the gravity of politics right now. She asked that if I plan to protest in costume that I bring one of them with me so I have a support person just in case.
I had to gently tell her how much I appreciate their concern and love but that if I didn't understand the stakes I wouldn't even consider spending my retirement years dressing up as a chicken or cow. This is one of many things I can do. There are also things I can't do. I think my appetite for naked bike riding is nil.
I have always understood the risks of living on the same earth with the kind of people running our country.
I've dealt with small ignorant humans all my life. I will not let them see me be afraid.
We will win. Maybe not tomorrow, but we will prevail.

Honest and sincere idea for Mastodon and other Fedi clients: optional pagination of feeds.

I'd love to be able to specify "show me ten toots and make me click a button to show me the next ten."

The amount could be a variable. But the effect would help the mental health of a lot of folks who use these programs.

Just as an option to counter infinite scroll.

So, I got an opportunity to buy #Rush tix presale today, my dudes, the tickets were $900. Per ticket! And that’s not even the vip package. The vip package was an eye watering 3k.

Y’all, that’s fucking insane. I wouldn’t pay that much if the concert was an unholy rite that brought Neil back from the dead. 900 fucking dollars for a concert ticket. Get out of here with that nonsense.

Zo, dat is ook weer duidelijk.
@fembot I stand by the words I wrote. If you don't like them, feel free to find other words to read.
Trump’s next target.

We did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳

Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶

#ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.
