I have finally given up the fight on Twitter. Misinformation is rampant and I truly cannot stomach anymore retweets of MTG & Trump.
I am a graduate of Central Michigan University with a degree in Hospitality Management. I am very anti GOP extremism. I love music-classical to metal. I love learning about astrophysics, crows and birds of prey. Especially my son’s hawk-Neil Patrick Harris Hawk. Neil assists my son with keeping the crows out of Portland.!

Meet Alaska State Representative David Eastman. Republican.

He wants to know how much money fatal child abuse will save the state

Here’s the quote, "in the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it's not good for the child, but it's actually a benefit to society because there aren't needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of that child's life?"

Republicans never get to say they are pro-life. Ever.

Keep Turkey & Syria and the surrounding nations in your prayers. Early estimates are 2600+ dead and scores more injured. This is being called the worst earthquake to hit the region in 500 years.

I'll be vetting and posting legit fundraisers as soon as I possibly can.

The fediverse has come this far despite being very capital-constrained.

What if that constraint were lifted?

If you have a project or idea (for- or non-profit) that helps build or grow the fediverse and would benefit from funding, I hope you'll apply here. Thank you!

I’m done dealing with Twitter. I haven’t deleted my account just yet-I want to find the awesome people I follow and those who follow me. I am impressed with everything I’ve read so far from Mastodon users.

Oath Keepers' founder Elmer Stuart Rhodes has been found guilty of seditious conspiracy. That's a start. What about the higher-ups--including the highest higher-up--who helped incite the day's events? Weary eyes turn to special counsel Jack Smith.
