This is a plug for self-pity. I have to go to the hospital today and go under general anesthesia for yet another procedure on my vocal cords. The good news is I get to come home today. I am trying anything to get my voice back to a close to 100% as possible. I am accepting applicants has deliverers of pity in the comments below. :)
@JoshuaHolland Chaya Raichik, who posts as "Libs of Tik Tok" on Twitter, has blood on her hands, and she revels in it.
1933βWhen Hitler came into power, Berlinβs thriving gay community became the target of Nazi brutality.
Fast forward a century, note the echoes of Weimar Germany - rhetoric against drag and trans culture resulting in brutality and violence.βBette DangerousβπΌ

ICYMI, Amy #Coney-Barrett is in a literal #cult called People of Praise that enforces the concept of β#handmaidsβ which brutalizes all girls and women into subservience.
Importantly, every person in Coney-Barrettβs cult is bound by their β#religionβ to listen only to βthe coordinatorsβ β which is a group of five old white men β for their instructions.
Not the Constitution. Or even the Bible. The fucking βcoordinators.β

@georgetakei With the actions he's taken in running the birdsite, it seems like he belongs in a nuthatch. It's like he's decompensating on a global scale.
@buitengebieden I'm _so_ happy to see you here! πβπβ

The Dutch population is 17.5M, the US population is 331.9M. Assuming the same costs (which they aren't, because our healthcare treatment costs like-for-like are WAY higher) means $359B more in for-profit healthcare, meaning the investment class gets more money. Which is exactly what the system is supposed to do - make the wealthy even more wealthy. The problem isn't that we can't do the math, it's that our system has entirely different priorities.
@benjaminwittes Members is the Derp State, talking about the Deep State.
@MitchellA Why not philosophy? You're a gorilla, you hang out all day, just spending an hour or two to gather food for yourself. No distractions, no TV, no radio, no books. What else are you going to do but think about philosophy?
Grateful to earn a 25,000 strong Mastodon network.
Not simply because of the size of this growing community, but because of this growing communityβs compassion and commitment to justice. Iβm hopeful one day this platform will be 1M+ strong, but only if the commitment remains to lead with justice above all else.
Much love yβall. Thank you. β€οΈβπ½
@ifilljustice They should be focused on this, but they'll "both sides" it until it's a gray blur. They're more afraid of being painted as liberal media than they are of a coup.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
