With all the negativity of the current news cycle, it's easy to forget that most people are basically decent.
Here's a little story about what happened to me today. I couldn't fit it into the 500-character posting limit, so put it up on my blog.

Another attack on transgender rights made by English media.
And also a even more implicit attack on Scotland .

4 years ago they tore down the empty factory next to my work and stopped irrigating everything, but the trees in the old parking lot lived on. With no people around, birds flocked to them, and filled them with nests.
Last week, a crew with chainsaws came and cut down all the trees. They're going to build condos, and the trees were in the way.

I donβt know if itβs just my experience, or more general too, but Iβm noticing more journalists on #Mastodon posting breaking news. Which is a very good sign for the future of the platform.
Iβm genuinely at the end of my patience with Twitter.
I have literally had a Law and Order episode made about harassment targeted at me on Twitter. My tolerance for it is extremely high. But something has changed about the character since Elon took it over.
The level of trolls are out of control. Every conversation is toxic. And itβs changing me in ways I donβt like.
I need to dedicate more time to Mastadon.
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.
