Picked up the upgrade! Extremely happy with it. Don’t believe the photos online. This blue is dark and deep with a matte finish. No hints of purple or extreme shine. #iphone #iphone17promax #blue #deepblue #iphone17promaxblue

We need to REJECT FALSE NEUTRALITY.
Silence = complicity. Neutrality in oppression always sides with the opressor. We will keep repeating Zionism is not Judaism. Stand with anti-Zionist Jewish allies. Zionism is anti-semitism.

Simple Plan and Avril Lavigne concert in Fort Lauderdale. It was such an amazing experience seeing my wild youth live on stage. There’s something magical about watching the artists who once soundtracked your loud, messy youth now standing on stage, a little older, a little wiser, but still burning with the same fire. #avrillavigne #simpleplan

Even as the world turns its back, Palestine rises—not just in resistance, but in song. Through the rubble, through the pain, through a genocide meant to erase them, the Palestinian people answer with music. #Gaza #PalastinianGenocide #genocide

Trump administration shifts FEMA staff to ICE during hurricane season:

Congressional oversight is non-existent and public pressure is useless against corruption in government. Already vulnerable communities are at greater risk because of the reduced disaster response. Politicising FEMA or any agency is #corruption at its worse.

Dozens of FEMA staffers involuntarily reassigned to support deportations

DHS said the moves won’t hinder disaster readiness, but current and former FEMA officials said losing that many people will hurt an already much reduced agency.

Your mind plays tricks—anxiety whispers, fear amplifies. But just because it's in your head doesn't mean it's true.

The storm in your mind isn’t reality. The weight? Temporary. The ‘what-ifs’? Most never happen.

Breathe. Step back. Look around. Reality is probably softer, kinder, and more hopeful than your mind lets you believe. #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

Had a great dinner with my partner at an authentic Thai restaurant. I wish @Mastodon would allow location tags, and or at least basic stories. Really excited to start using this platform. #padthai #thaifood #ftlauderdale

After years of corporate algorithms deciding what we see, I’ve migrated here to the fediverse—where *people* matter more than profit. Let’s see how this goes! #PrivacyMatters
