It's not conservatism, it's fascism.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has launched a criminal & civil investigation into Disney, today he signed a permit-less carry gun bill into lawβbehind closed doors with only the NRA present, and he backs a bill to ban abortions after 6-weeks.
And as we published earlier, he's working overtime to put his anti-education policies in place. Under DeSantis, Florida is a testing ground for anti-democracy extremism.

When I was young, I was one of those stupid kids who would swing as high and hard as I could, and at the top of the arc, jump. Yes, I was blind when I did that, too. I type 90 WPM. And no, I don't consider myself an exceptional blind person. I like representation in stories, but I'm not sure I can read this book. It will make me angry or sad. I've liked other Karin Slaughter books, but this one is making me realize painfully just how far we have to go to convince others we are real people.
Would you guys like artwork like this? These works were done as inspirations of friends of mine but Iβd be happy to open for commissions to the people of Mastodon.
Get in touch with me if you would like an artwork done of a family member, or close friends, or even yourself for D&D or such. One of my key themes is mask, so I can also come up with a custom mask for your character as well.
If you reblog Iβd greatly appreciate it :)

Belated #introduction, I'm Dave. I'm an extra-full-stack developer in the Microsoft on-prem tool stack. Extra-full-stack meaning you can give me a credit card and I can give you a working web app including building the servers to run it on. I also play bass guitar, build mechanical keyboards, and spend family time with my wife and dog. I'm a cishet Latino stroke survivor. I'm learning to be a better ally. He/him.
I get it, I'd probably have to be restrained for strangling a customer or two, but for many people it's the way they keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
Someone had to row all those rocks over to that island to build that.
Did you know that an estimated 30% of Ukraine's territory is contaminated with mines and unexploded munitions?
This is why we have launched a project to train and donate fifty explosive and mine detection dogs to Ukrainian authorities; and nine of them have already been paired with Ukrainian dog handlers.
πΎ We're proud to support this important contribution to making Ukraine a safer place for everyone.
@ScottSoCal I read that as vagitude and now it's stuck in my head πππ
The Fortress Of Vegitude. You can put it on that flat beam, above the doorway.
After enduring an onslaught of wild critters getting to my vegetables before I can pick them, I built this fortress last Fall.
A 9'x18' fully enclosed garden. Β½" screen top, sides, and bottom. I was also going to arm it with photon water guns but figured it would be overkill.
I may indeed finally be able to enjoy one of my mortgage lifter tomatoes this year.
Also... I want to give it a name. Any ideas?

Legally stole it. Anywhere in the US, if you're traveling with an excessive - and they get to decide what's excessive - amount of money, it can be seized, under the assumption that you must be a drug trafficker. It's up to you to prove you're not, and even if you prove it, they aren't required to give it back.
I prefer locally-owned stores, when I can - more of the money stays in the local economy. But in SoCal it all seems to be chains. The closest non-chain place I've found is about an hour away.
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.
