In the dead of night, WI Republican lawmakers just defunded the Child Care Counts program. Sen Kelda Roys said the decision will make even more of Wisconsin into a childcare desert. The program has funded more than 22K child care jobs & helped 113K children since 2020. It'll be devastating for needy families & the state’s economy: #GOPHatesChildren #GOPSabotage https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-child-care-subsidy-budget-9218b9a132e89749546a27d3120c2c8d

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.

2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.

3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.

N.B. If while searching for the glade you come to a boiling river of blood, you have gone too far.

The lighting setup -> the result

I'm going to have a salad for lunch. If I don't tell The Internet this I don't get points.

And I don't want to have just the two parties either so I'm working to make it so every American votes using Ranked Choice which I think is the only way to break their hegemony, but it's going to take time.

If we allow Republicans to gain more power it becomes even harder though and will end up taking longer so...vote blue in every election and especially in the primaries to pick the most progressive candidates there.

The cult of hate

Reddit is warning volunteer moderators they could be replaced if they keep popular subreddits private to protest Reddit's plan to charge for API access. https://www.pcmag.com/news/reddit-ceo-threatens-to-boot-moderators-who-back-blackout-protest

I'm so tired of having to keep track of which way electrons are flowing

Negative? AND Positive?

Conductivity AND Resistance?

OhmyGod!

@SecularJeffrey I can help you out with the last one.

Conductivity is always maxed out as resistance is futile. Now lower your shields and surrender your ships

@actuallyautistic Reading Unmasking Autism at the moment and my mask is very much my special interest right now. I'm starting to think that my mask might be just broken - After decades of masking and not getting much out of it, I feel that I just can't mask anymore in 'friendly' social situations.

But I also don't feel safe being myself. This has led to a total halt of all social activities for a few years now. Anyone else have some insight or experience with this?
