An Auschwitz survivor Hédi Fried passed away today at the age of 98.

Hédi was born in a Jewish family in the Romanian town of Sighet. In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She was liberated in Bergen-Belsen. In July 1945 she came to #Sweden with the Swedish Red Cross.

Hédi Fried became an author and psychologist dedicated to spreading the message of the importance of democratic values to combat xenophobia, using her own experiences as a #Holocaust #survivor.

The history of #Auschwitz is also the tragic fate of over 232,000 babies, children and teenagers deported to the camp where they were murdered or imprisoned. We honor & remember them today.

Some 232,000 children up to the age of 18 (216,000 Jews, 11,000 Roma, at least 3,000 Poles, over 1,000 Belarusians & some Russians, Ukrainians & others) were deported to the camp.

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.

It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.

It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.

Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.

Why are food prices continuing to increase?

The four largest food companies control 82 percent of beef packing, 85 percent of soybean processing, 63 percent of pork packing, and 53 percent of chicken processing.

Corporations are raising prices because they can.
