Get your helmets and acrylics ready, gays. The War on Christmas comes to its climax in four days!

It’s entirely possible to have a random thought, and not post it, but obviously this is not that time.

My long delayed #intro #introduction #introductionpost (with tons of hashtags) - I live and work in that #London, in the #CivilService. I’ve previously worked in #Australia and #Canada, and so I like to keep up with what’s happening in those countries. I’m a committed #European, #AntiBrexit and I strive to be #inclusive and to boost #MarginalisedCommunities. I love #ReadingForPleasure, #travelling, #NFFC, #MCU, #Strictly and #GBBO. I’ll add more stuff later! #BlackLivesMatter #BlackMastodon

@Buideach @Gnomester210 L O L mine goes out for her last walk anywhere from 8 o’clock to 930 but if I happen to take her out at 6:00 PM then she goes to the stairs and barks at me because don’t you know it’s dark out and time for bed. #JoinIn

A rando in my mentions aggressively insisting there's no eggnog in the UK wasn't what I expected today, but that's the fediverse eh

There is an extraordinary kind of comedy in users that joined _this month_ telling people who have been on here for more than four years that they're "in the wrong place"

President Joe Biden told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukrainians β€œinspire the world,” before the two leaders began an Oval Office summit that was his first known trip outside his home country since Russia invaded in February. bit.ly/3FKtbRK

2021: Twitter loses $221,409 on $5b revenue.

2022: Musk adds $12.5b debt onto Twitter balance sheet, which costs $1.5b to service.

Expects revenues of $3b, instead of last year's $5b.

Genius.

Taliban banning women from going to school has nothing to do with Islam. (Even in Saudi women have been attending college for decades.) It's 100% about controlling women the same way GOP banning reproductive freedom in US is not about Christianity, it's about controlling women (FYI no Muslim country, except for the Taliban regime, has banned girls from getting an education. What the Taliban is doing is an insult to the principles of Islam!!)

I love how many folks here that society stigmatizes and rejects are on here finding community and celebrating each other. I dig it. Still dipping my toe in the waters for safety before I share fully me, but so far so good.

I'll get there in time.

I am #LookingForWork. Unfortunately, I joined the ranks of those affected by #TechLayoffs last week, very suddenly and unexpectedly.

I'm a #SoftwareEngineer with over 20 years experience in the industry. I've worked primarily with #PHP, #JavaScript, and #TypeScript, but can also handle #Python and #Java in a pinch. I also have some experience with #AWS, #Docker, and #Terraform.

My resume is here: github.com/elazar/resume

Boosts and leads are much appreciated.

[RT @RiegerReport]
BIDEN: The United States stands with the brave people of Ukraine, we stand with you, you've been a great leader, and ... we have a famous thing that occurs once a year, we pick the man of the year in "Time" magazine, you are the man of the year in the United States of America.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, Zelenskyy thanks Biden, Congress and the β€œordinary people” of America for their support of Ukraine. apne.ws/FSwbakD

Our Gods are practically self contained. They feed themselves, water themselves, worship themselves, you won't even have to clean their cage. They're the easiest Gods you'll ever look after, suitable for a beginner, a novice, a child, your grandmother. Try our Ancient Eldritch Gods today.

"Appreciation from my heart and the heart of Ukraine" to you and your leadership, President Zelenskyy, speaking in English, tells President Biden.

@drfunkybutt@mastodon.online The world is clearly not flat. I can see a hill from my house.
The world is lumpy.

@rooster
It's possible they're not actively blowing you off they may just not be able to verbalize how they cope with it. They've dealt with it their entire lives. I'm sure they've developed all kinds of coping mechanisms at an age so early they didn't consciously think about it, they just did it.

I came out as gay in the late 1970s, in Utah. Yeah, I had to cope. No, I can't explain all the ways I cope, they've just been a part of me for decades.
