@callmejake I saw a true meme:
Mormon missionaries are the Catholic school girls of gay porn. That horrifies me more than a little, as a recovering Mormon who married a guy who was a missionary (and is also a recovering Mormon.)

[best read with a French accent]

β€œI am so very sorry sir, without a reservation, there is simply nothing I can do for you.”

@rbreich While we're helping Ukraine defeat invading Russian military, I'm not going to get too worked up about the military budget. Particularly not when it's overshadowed by the $10T tax cut the GQP gave to the wealthiest 1% of the country, while their wealth is growing exponentially.
Taxes are going up on the poor and middle class, while they dropped into the basement for the oligarchs.

@ScottSoCal @georgetakei Would hate to be the new CEO who has to try to actually make the company work while Musk is constantly forcing them to do every ridiculous thing that pops into his mind.

This is your year non-trans folks. This is the year

to be the one to call out grandma for misgendering your non-binary cousin,

to call out how fucked up your uncles transphobic jokes are, or

to tell your mom that her excuses for deadnaming someone aren’t good enough.

It’s time to make this your problem. How are you going to stand up for trans people this holiday?

The first part, that you apparently missed? The part that said "chances are"? That's saying it's statistically probable, based on Idaho demographics, that her past behavior was consistent with the majority - in Idaho's case, the overwhelming majority. I did not say "I know for a fact".

"The right to vote is exactly that: a right. Not a reward that must be earned, not a privilege that can be revoked. In a nation founded on the promise of representative democracy, voting is one of the most sacred & fundamental rights we have" - @johnlegend@twitter.com

Pretty much this. Musk doesn't have to be in a CEO position to keep pulling strings just to see what unravels.

Average power use for my house is ~25KWH per day, I deliberately got a larger system because I anticipate adding a couple of BEV vehicles in the near future. Probably 1 electric-only and 1 plug-in hybrid. 2 days before the shortest day of the year, I'm still making more power than my house uses. I wonder what it'll look like during the summer?

#muskolini embracing the antivax bs is classic propaganda. If you followed me on Twitter you know my son is autistic and I did my best to fight the antivaxers for a long time. In the early days it was the far left promoting that bs. Earned my first Twitter timeout for telling Jill Stein to go fuck herself. Rinse and repeat what works is their playbook. Their playbook is dangerous and deadly to actual lives and democracy.

Sorry, we accidentally wrote β€œFree speech, no restrictions!” when we actually meant β€œFree speech? No, restrictions!”

Dear neurotypicals,

Please don't make me guess your intentions. I will always guess wrong and I'm tired of it.

On wednesdays we wear pink... 'cause I might have put a red sock with the whites.

new server, new #Introduction! Hi, I’m Kate. I live in #spokane, WA, which is my hometown. As a teenager I moved to Germany and spent about 12 years there, in Hamburg and Berlin. All my formal education was in urban planning and design, but I also did a lot of neighborhood-based organizing for housing justice and against fascism. These days I’ve somehow ended up as a full-time community organizer assisting communities that are dealing with all the consequences of white nationalism in the US.

In one week I have gone from "ugh Mastodon looks complicated and too technical" to "I want to become a tech reporter so I can write about this, also I kind of want to found an instance?"

Say what you will about Elon, he's getting women into STEM
