@Bradley_JF @Npars01 I disagree that your potential is limited if you wear a mask. I almost think that is a silly thought, no offense. The opposite is true in my way of thinking.

If folks would mask, it would be safer for everyone and it could expand your potential because you might have more cool and caring people in rooms with you. It would not be forever, either! In fact, the whole pandemic would be so much shorter for everyone if we could do little things!

@mog7546 “First CBO score of the new Congress is here.

Says that the GOP IRS funding bill would reduce spending by $71.5B and reduce revenue by $185.8B.

Net deficit increase of $114B.”

A man shot & killed a 13-year-old Black child named Karon Blake in Washington, DC—claiming he thought Karon was breaking into a car.😳 Police confirm Karon was unarmed.

Police have not yet ID’d or charged the shooter. Karon is the 426th person killed by gun violence in 2023.😓

To all the fine Mastodonians with hearts not filling with hate… for all you fine folks staying in your lane and not bothering or belittling or conspiring against anybody.

Please enjoy this photo of my mixer w/ Snickerdoodle dough on the paddle as your well-deserved escape on a postcard from Utopia.

I want to show my gratitude for you guys & remind you how much I appreciate w/ a picture of something about cookies or cozy-aroma meals.

Thank you for being up to all good as much as possible. ✌️🥹♥️

Reporters will continue reporting straight-faced that the GOP's top concern is "the deficit" even as their openly-stated #1 top policy demand is to add $100B to deficit by cutting IRS enforcement.

Quoth the raven: "Screw this."

Failed dictators who plot coups are more welcome in Florida than gay kids.

ICYMI, Glenn Greenwald was compromised by the same group of ratfuckers that netted Julian Assange a decade ago — including and especially Peter Thiel and Eric Prince.

I'm trying to get better at asking for what I need. I have been going through a few #challenging situations very recently, and I could use a boost. No, not that kind of boost. An #EmotionalBoost. I know few of you know me, but if you have any sort of #support to throw my way, even as a stranger, I'll take it.

Attached is a #ComicStrip I created on stripcreator.com many years ago. I felt it was kind of relevant to the situation.

Thanks in advance for the #whack.

I am genuinely interested in what those thousand words are.

Arthur just couldn’t quite get used to working from home.
