Mastodawn

One thing I do dislike about the official #Mastodon app is how it’s all driven towards either mastodon.social or .online

The default button signs you up on mastodon.social and when pressed ‘login’ the two instance suggestions are only those two

That makes it unnecessarily harder for people on our instance for example to easily get started on the app

As more universities agree to immigration enforcement on campus, students are fighting back

Of the colleges that have entered into partnerships with ICE and CBP since last year, only St. John’s University in New York has backed out

Do I believe in the existence of faeries? No, I am a being of logic and science.

Will I step into a ring of mushrooms without leaving a gift of song and/or a gift of milk, bread, and honey? Abso-fucking-lutely not! Do you think I have a death wish or something?!

My mother legally proved that Father’s sister & her husband embezzled money from our family for years. My uncle was a founding member of our parish & church elder for nearly 50 years. Mother asked me why i attended services in #dtla & i said do you think people want to see us at church? I am a reminder that a dead man they respected was a thief & stole from his wife’s Family. He made them fools & I remind them of that. My mother hadn’t even considered that…(1/2) #greek #saintsophiacathedral #LA

The most pernicious lie that conservatives promulgate is that the government is the enemy. “I’m here from the government, and I’m here to help,” claimed Ronald Reagan, were supposedly the most terrifying words one can hear.

But in a democracy—and yes, the US is a democracy—the government IS the people. We literally shape it into what we want, and when we want competence, we DO get competence. We have incredible competence in NASA, in NOAA, in FEMA, in NHTSA, in NIH…the list goes on. Denying that isn’t only cynical, it is factually false.

Those who seek to smear “the government” are smearing democracy itself; and they’re insulting your intelligence. Beware people who call everything “waste” and destroy these engines of public service. They are trying to replace the government—our common good—with something they can profit from, which is invariably far worse.
