We’re going to defederate from the following large instances at the end of the month due to their refusal to cut Meta’s Threads app off from the fediverse:

• mastodon.social
• universeodon.com

The was first recorded by Lead Belly in the 1930s in a song called "The Scottsboro Boys," about the dangers Black Americans faced traveling through states in the Deep South. The original line was "best stay woke," as in, "remain aware of the dangers of racism."

Black communities shortened the term to "stay woke," over time, and eventually added "woke" as a state of being--or constant awareness.

thru legislation, McConnell killed my family. Nazis had a name for that: MURDER BY BUREAUCRACY
