This is Joshua Collins' campaign platform on Trans Rights. He's a socialist trucker running for our 2020 congress in Washington's 10th district (Olympia to south Tacoma), and I am in love with him.

elsewhere in a thread of imagined attributes of fae, I added:
Human language is compelling music to you, all rhythms and melodies. As such, you can mesmerize/lull a human by speaking a version of their native tongue that sounds like it should make sense, but is a half-step removed, like concrete poetry read by a radio announcer. However, you often miss information imparted to you via language because you're nodding your head, tapping your feet to its music, ignoring entirely its intent.
uspol, Trump, native Americans
Today I learned that last week, breaking with a 29-year-old tradition that dates back to the first President Bush, Trump refused to declare this November to be National Native American History Month.
Instead, he declared it National American History and Founders Month, *explicitly* focusing on historical white men.
I've said it before, but seriously, fuck this shitty, garbage man and his shitty, garbage administration.
Here's a flow chart of how the fediverse works.
You don't ever see all of the fediverse from one instance. The vast majority of what you see is people followed by people on your instance.
Hashtag searches are limited to that, too.
So if you want to make your bit of the fediverse good, you have to:
1) Boost cool stuff to all your followers on other instances, especially if they contain hashtags;
2) Use hashtags.
