I just spoke with my specialty pharmacy who handles my biologics, and they told me that the shipping carrier who handles my (refrigerated) injections may be fixing to strike on 1 August. So if you live in the US, and take medications that required shipment/refrigeration, you may want to speak to the pharmacy about refilling before the strike date so you don't have a gap of time without meds.

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter

Seriously though, I’m tired of people starting new social networks with investor money. Those investors want their money back and the entrepreneurs starting the social networks are going to need to pay them back with money obtained from the members.

I want the USENET model back. It was the original Fediverse. Community is an outcome of the protocol.

Whole lotta companies fucking around with their communities for increasing income and are going to find out that their communities are the reason they have any valuation.

I used to live in Texas. I would get so mad at dudes I knew that downplayed the confederate flag, until I realized that their textbooks literally lied about the reasons for the civil war!

Showing them the articles of secession blew their mind. Some stopped rocking the flag. šŸ‘šŸæ

Imagine how much less racist the US would feel if 10% of all confederate flags just disappeared. Disappeared!
