All Nazi/fascist = report and block.

Things that give me hope:

Abused and neglected animals can not only learn to trust again, but become outrageously goofy and loyal companions, just from a little love and compassion.

Abused and neglected humans can and often do this too, and choose to raise their offspring better than they were raised.

Add to the list anything that sparks hope and joy for you, no matter how small.

Another bookstore pulls JK Rowling's books and returns them, after Rowling promised to.use the profits from .sales of Harry Potter books to harass and attack trans people.

Throw them out, build the boycott of Rowling products, books movies.

Two rainbow flags were sewn for the 1978 Gay Freedom Day parade. Each was 18 metres long. The original flags were lost for years. A fragment of one was rediscovered in 2020, and is now displayed at San Francisco's GLBT Historical Society museum.
On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

I got laid off today. Eek!

Sporadic reminder to do a #backup of your #Mastodon account (i.e. request an #archive from your instance)!

Even in the Fediverse servers crash and instance admins turn rogue, and all of a sudden you may be left with nothing but the last archive.org snapshot of your account, so... request your archives, folks!

They say this like they are surprised. I’m always mystified why people use Facebook or exclusively create content for YouTube. It’s like they don’t understand they can yank it. They can control it. They can delete it at any point, and you have no recourse at all.

@stefano A bunch of trans groups, including transgender shitposting and several of its moderators, all got nuked too. They say it was a mistake but have gotten zero word on anything being restored.

@stefano

Somewhere in-between genuine compassion and schadenfreude, there's "brah, you shoulda known."

It's tiring to see people legitimise such terrible platforms by continuing to use them.

I never did understand why people hated donkeys so much - but the new ICE pinatas? I could go "to town" on those 😂
@DigitalTaoist @glasspusher
Look, if donkeys didn't want to be suspended from a tree and hit with a stick by someone in a blindfold, then they shouldn't fill themselves up with candy.
@glasspusher I don't really get it, though, you don't typically hate the theme of a piñata anymore. It's pretty common to have Spiderman or Barbie piñatas because the kid likes those characters. Doesn't mean at all the kid wants to destroy them, just a fun character to get candy out of.
@glasspusher Nobody even remembers that the traditional seven-pointed piñata represents Lucifer and his seven deadly sins.

@JordiGH @glasspusher

Doesn't matter. It's back to smacking evil.

@glasspusher

Oh look, therapy pinatas.

@glasspusher why they look like MJ tho

@glasspusher

You can only fill them with testosterone supplements and throwing stars.

@glasspusher I guess you have to supply your own face mask for these things

@glasspusher

I'll be THAT guy for a minute.. I get it, but facts are they are still taking people who are legal, and taking illegals in the most cruel manner, who knows how many have been abused or are even dead.

These pinatas are fine, but we can't forget real humans are in peril

@Sfwmson No human is "illegal". Dont use fascists' newspeak

@glasspusher

@glasspusher

"No PD hoes were harmed during the making of this video"

@glasspusher I don't think I could make a piñata, but some years ago, I published a book on Amazon called "The Donald Trump Phrase Book", which translates "I don't know" into 40+ languages as that is all The Donald should ever say. For Spanish, I included the following picture:

@glasspusher

Genial Idea! que vivan esos piñateros!
