#Newsom wants to transform #SanQuentin using Scandinavian model

β€œWhat’s envisioned for San Quentin is on a different scale. The choice of this #prison is a statement by Newsom about justice reform & about #California β€” w potential not only to change what it means to serve time, but also to create a pathway to safer communities that our current system has failed to deliver”

Definitely not - there's a whole Thing about."Follow Fridays" where you suggest people to follow.

@drfunkybutt I don’t think it’s against mastodon etiquette to recommend people to follow.

All that you’re doing is telling people about another person whose content they may enjoy while simultaneously letting the content creator know that you like what they’re doing.

It seems like a nice thing to do, as long as the intentions are genuine.

Oh, nothing to see here... Rosa Parks in one proposed FL social studies textbook reduced to a lady who "showed courage" and "rode the bus." With no mention of race or racism in the encounter. This is how fear is destroying public ed in FL. #EdScare Http://nyti.ms/3YUGFlj

hi I just realized I never did an #introduction so here goes:

my name is samir and I am a disabled transmasc creative and zine maker. my pronouns are he/him. I am currently in music school and am interested in adaptive music lessons and devices. I also like plants, birdwatching, punk music, and many other things!!

I am a migraineur and #neurodivergent (dyspraxic, adhd, autistic)! Would love to connect with any other disabled/chronically ill and/or queer folk!! Or anyone!!

It’s the last evening with my little shadow. Should make sure I have access to Kleenex.

I signed up for an email account with the Church of Satan so I can receive direct communication from our Dark Lord, Mailer Daemon.

One of my own (very minor) creations. Nearly everyone who has seen it has called it dark, but I see the open door, with light spilling out.

I don't know when that was, but in the 1980s, when I bought my first house in the US, my mortgage interest rate was 16%, and I counted myself lucky.

@samlitzinger

Well, calling something what it is has been problematic.

FWIW, he was spot-on. It was propaganda.

@spocko

I'm sure I've read the first one - yes, just checked, and it's on my Kindle. I didn't know it was a series. I'll have to look at the rest of them.

@ScottSoCal another book series that really understands the media, PR and behind the scenes machinations for big alien questions is the Not Alone series by Craig Falconer.

Ah, yes, let’s please β€œargue with her ideas” as if they were presented in good faith, as if the anti-β€œwokeism” crusade was a struggle over ideas and not a manufactured panic in service of a reactionary political project that seeks to naturalize traditional hierarchies.

Neo-nazis (yes, with an actual Nazi flag) brought guns to a drag show. The local sherriff's office cited the bar for serving one underage person, stalked performers to their homes, and is now evicting the bar. They were fine with the armed Nazis.

I just deleted my bird account. I am equal parts sad for what I’ve left behind and excited for what lies ahead.
