Dear New York Times,
Forcing women to give birth against their will is โ€œbig government.โ€ Protecting an 88-year-old program like Social Security isnโ€™t. Whether you agree with Biden on the fine points, itโ€™s obvious that heโ€™s trying to save rational, democratic government from the ongoing fascist assault. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s so disheartening to see the Times adopt the cynical framing of the fascists, as this headline does.

There are some really kind people here, that constantly make me go to someone I love and say "look at what this person said about my song, that's so wonderful and kind..." and smile a lot. It's not an easy time for me, so I just want you all to know your support means a lot to me. Thank you โค๏ธ

About ten years ago a flying squirrel snuck into my house and spent a few hours playing hide-and-seek with my cat. Anyways. Here's the best photo you're likely to ever see of a flying squirrel hiding inside a #sunmicrosystems E4000 server chassis. #retrocomputing #mammals

Minimizing it also relies on the pile-on urge. "Oh, this is new and hot - I must be part of it!" leads to "Oh, this is old and tired - time to abandon it." That will work with a segment of the population, but not all.

Zelensky hugs BBC Ukrainian reporter at news conference

During a press conference, a BBC Ukrainian journalist rose to her feet and prefaced her question by saying she would like to give #Zelensky a hug, but would probably not be allowed.

โ€œWhy not?โ€ Zelensky responded, before vacating his lectern and offering a warm embrace.

Hello everyone, I'm new to mastodon because I'm sick of FB which is gladly deleted ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I'm excited and overwhelmed but dunno how or where to start lol ๐Ÿ˜†

Selfie, eye contact 

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 theyโ€™re not responding because theyโ€™re clearly too embarrassed about the super weird stuff that happened in the dream?

While the GQP screams about censorship.
Maybe you could start the meetings with a big chart, showing them how the 1st amendment actually works? They seem confused.

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.

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 โ€˜danceโ€™ above the water.

"If I said this on Twitter, Iโ€™d probably get suspended, assuming of course, anyone was paying attention to what I wrote."

I don't have the authority to do this, but just so you know you've been heard:
