No makeup and a little bit of stubble because I need a better morning routine, but we've got spring-like weather this week (it'll get cold this weekend), so I went with a spring-like top.

You ever have a dream with another person in it and, the next time you see them, you keep staring at them and telepathically asking if they want to talk about it, but they’re not responding because they’re clearly too embarrassed about the super weird stuff that happened in the dream?

Social media is a powerful tool with the potential to amplify both positive and harmful messages.

As a Member of Oversight Dems, I will utilize every opportunity to question social media executives about their plans to combat disinformation campaigns and hate online.

People who don't speak a word of German are far too confident in their ability to assassinate baby Hitler if given the opportunity to time travel.

Took the dog for a walk this morning.

Every so often, patience is rewarded. For 30 minutes I watched this tricolored heron fishing in a canal. He would be very still, tense up, then take wing & pounce on the fish. He then ventured down by a reflection of a yellow blossomed tree and I captured him in a ‘dance’ above the water.

The Washington Post now flags journalists' profiles as verified on Mastodon.

#LoseYourIllusions 🙈🙄😿😹

I’m kinda wishing Mastodon will eventually break the stranglehold Twitter seems to have on writers. It’s almost like people are too afraid to give up, and lose their followers. I have a fraction of followers here, but still get more #Engagement. Anyway, rant over. If I said this on Twitter, I’d probably get suspended, assuming of course, anyone was paying attention to what I wrote. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #twitter #writers #wip #migration #cats #catsofmastodon

Man: Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.

Man: (nervously) Look, it’s . . . it’s a metaphor . . . I never meant to . . . overfishing . . . it wasn’t supposed to happen . . . please . . . I have a family . . .
Fish: This ends NOW!

“Don’t play the wizard game from the lady who doesn’t respect my humanity,” and “Don’t buy chicken from the people that want to exterminate people like me” seem like such a low bar for people who are supposedly allies to clear.

Yet here folks are.

The volume of people telling vision-impaired users "fuck off, your engagement doesn't count" by skipping image descriptions is starting to get depressing again.

A rare sighting of a North American Albino howling shitgibbon...
