Open mic jam last night at #Capitola Cork and Fork to benefit the small businesses hammered by #California #storms over the last few days. Capitola was my late mom's favorite beach town and I was happy to go play there and take pics and help lift some spirits. The wharf and esplanade were smashed up by 25-foot waves that tossed huge redwood trunks like matchsticks. It'll be a tough time getting back. (Waterfront damage photo by Samuel Thaler.)
I gave up 15 years on Twitter and 22,000 followers. I used my anniversary to invite others to follow me to Mastodon, and I pointed out that every tweet is a donation to Musk. We know what he is and what he's doing. He gave Michael Flynn his account back on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.
I started my #Twitter exodus as a boycott against Musk. Now, I'm thrilled to be here. I miss a few things, but Mastodon is just built better. I feel like it makes me (and you) better, too.

I've been researching how ancient civilizations cleaned their butts after pooping (I'm writing a book!) and y'all, the Ancient Greeks were SUPER punk rock. They used bits of broken ceramic like a scoop (don't worry - the edges were smoothed out) and sometimes THE BITS OF POTTERY WERE INSCRIBED WITH THE NAMES OF THEIR ENEMIES.
They literally wiped their butts with their enemies' names. I am in awe.
