As an AIDS widower these past 30 years, I remember when Peter Staley and his band of outraged queers made noise to get our community's plight noticed and celebrate him today with extra joy.

Today's #ScottishFolklore topic: Brownies/Broonies 🧹

You might recognize the term “brownie” from the rank in Girls Scouts, but do you know where the scouts got that name? Folklore! They were named after a story called “The Brownies” by Juliana Horatia Ewing, which was based on Scottish folk tales.

A brownie in folklore is a domestic fairy that tends to attach itself to a family, and help them with all sorts of work.

What to say in a first Mastodon post! The plan will be to be sharing photographs from my world, my loathing for all things promoting BREXIT, my passion for Scottish self-determination, blogging a bit as the Grumpy Git Abroad, supporting the Ukraine in the war against Russian aggression, and any other random thoughts that come to mind!

Give her what she really wants this holiday season. Death to the patriarchy, an ancient tome of curses from the forest witch, the hearts of her enemies, and deep pockets in every dress and pair of pants.

Please boost if you’re still masking indoors (in public places)

Don’t forget to boost toots you like to spread them across the Fediverse!

YOU are the algorithm here! ​✨

Combine prismatic window foil, a sunny spot on the sofa, lucky timing, and this fluffy bugger. Voilà - Rainbow Cat.

This December The Communi-Tea Pot is doing our first ever Holiday Cheer Drive and the rules are simple. We want you to find someone in your local community who is need of help and help them. We don't care if you take gifts to kids in the hospital or volunteer at a soup kitchen, all we want is for you to spread some cheer. Finally, we would love to hear about what you do. Take pictures, tell us about what you did, and make sure to tag The Communi-Tea Pot. Happy Holidays and Good Luck.

when it comes to masto, i don't think it's coincidental that these cries to "keep mastodon weird!" are cropping up at the same time new and old PoC users describe their experiences with racism.

specifically, Black masto users describing their experiences with antiblackness

on a visceral level it's offensive, but also heinously high school. the idea that if you fiercely gatekeep who is allowed in and scare away those who you assume "wouldn't make a good fit" then you create a hermetic seal

Road trip time means #Dutchbros time!

We talk about the circular economy, but a key part of it needs to be construction, how we build, starting with using existing building stock and employing low carbon materials and methods to make them fit for purpose. It's the best use of carbon. Really interesting piece from Bloomberg on recycling buildings and changing our mindset about the built environment. #Cities #Japan
