@GottaLaff @KlasfeldReports Thanks so much for sharing Klasfeld's tweets - allows me to follow the proceedings w/o having to visit Twitter.
@shoq @cgerrish @davidslifka @elipariser Yeah, that’s the biggest problem I have with any of these overarching analyses of Mastodon/Fediverse — not what “we hoped for”? Who’s we?
I don’t think the people on this platform are united in one common goal— a lot of people have very different goals, and that’s a *good* thing because it will lead to more innovation
are y’all following this situation in Montana? Twice now, Republicans in the state house have silenced state rep Zooey Zephyr, literally cutting her mike off midsentence as she called them out for their bloodythirsty antitrans bills. #lgbt #anonymous https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/zooey-zephyr-montana-transgender-lawmaker-silenced/
🇺🇦One year ago Mr. Musk announced he would purchase Twitter. As a result I began this central depository of media involving Ukraine for Mastodon. I am humbled and moved that our community has grown to over 51,500 people in the first year. My hope is there will be no reason for this channel’s existence by next year. All of you are why Ukraine will win, and our children’s children will speak of Ukraine with pride. Thank you all for giving your time and attention to Ukraine. Slava Ukraine! #Ukraine

‘As the food warmed they sat quietly around the fire wrapped in their cloaks. Thick clouds covered the stars and nail-paring of a moon; the only light was the dancing red and yellow of the flame.’
SPEAR is wonderful – congratulations @Nicolaz

@historyofpunkrock Where and when I grew up, the radio choices were mostly disco, oldies, or AOR. So I listened to AOR. I heard "Rock Lobster" my senior year of high school. It was a revelation that permanently changed my musical tastes. Still love that song.
@historyofpunkrock I hear "45 years ago", and I think, "during war times, right?"
Then I remember I'm not a child in the 80s-90s anymore.
And then I remember that I am old.
