Harris voter - don't complain to me if you weren't.

Quit Xitter, came here. Love the idea of social media not controlled by a corporation.

I follow art, history, science, #Esperanto, #MardiPatisserie, and capybaras.

I try to contribute to political action here, but end up very grumpy.

Also, I "won" this: šŸ† for answering a Perl programming language question posed by another user. I display it with pride.

Trump is full of sh!t.

That’s it. That’s the toot.

Full moon Nissan 15 5786 05:12 IDT

The Jewish #calendar is lunisolar, aligning phases of the moon with annual seasons. The #fullmoon falls in the middle of the #month.
As a #spring festival, the #Passover full #moon occurs shortly after the #vernalequinox

I was talking to my local town arts centre about establishing themselves on the Fedi.
I know that Mastodon is just one way, but it's the way I know most about if they need guidance. So with that in mind I welcome suggestions for a good, stable, well established arts server, with good moderation and human screened application vetting?

深い息 (Fukai Iki), Deep breath, by Masato Kawahatsu.

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

Meet Malik El Arab Al-Zubeyda. Yes, that's his actual name. We adopted him, so no, we didn't choose it.

Malik is a Saluki: technically a dog, functionally a cat. 23 hours a day draped across the sofa. Silent. Elegant. Deeply uninterested in your commands.

On his walk he transforms into a long-range missile. Off lead, it's mostly fine. But the moment he spots a hare, a wild boar, or a field full of bulls, you stop existing.

Very loving. We adore him.
