Shucking oysters and clams in Tomales Bay, California.
This is the first time I’ve shoved my clam and oyster knifes in my jersey pocket…glad I didn’t crash and impale myself. My sweaty kit now smells like the sea.
The best bike rides are the ones with interesting destinations…even better when they’re a little bit off-the-wall. #cycling #california
Rep. Elissa Slotkin has #Russia thread too, ends this way:
While any challenge to Putin’s dictatorship is historic, we should remember: #Prigozhin & #Wagner are not good guys coming to liberate Russia & make it blooming democracy. Remember, Prigozhin troll farms & influence ops targeted US elections in 2016.
US posture at this stage shd be watching events closely, assisting our #Ukraine allies in exploiting any battlefield opps, & staying flexible & alert at an unpredictable moment in history.

Claiming that a commitment to openness requires giving Meta access to your posts, that you somehow must cooperate with them or allow them into your community is another of those occasions when it’s obvious that someone doesn’t understand that freedom of association also includes the ability to choose not to associate – and that freedom of association is, if anything, an even more important right than freedom of speech. It’s the freedom not to have to listen.

Oh. Reach out #reddit admin about "what next steps will take place" if I don't reopen.
The lights aren't on anymore. I've left.
I was the creator & sole mod of most of my communities. We aren't "stewards in a position of trust with our users." We made a house & invited users in if they liked the way it was run.
I still mod a few #fannish reddit comms close to my heart in the hopes I can find a decentralized self-hosting option to redirect them to. I want my own damn house. #redditblackout
