My son told me that I am bigger, fatter and older than any other mommy and that I win.
At least I have that going for me.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter reconnaissance for an attack on an alleged North Vietnamese-controlled village at My Lai.

As the ground attack developed below, Thompson realised he was in fact witnessing something something else:

A massacre.

He decided to act. /1 🧵 #history #histodons

Apple's choice to distinguish an incoming Facetime call from a regular voice call by displaying a full-screen video preview on your phone's screen is actually a pretty smart #ux decision.

Speaking as someone who just narrowly avoided blindly clicking the "Accept Call" button and flashing my elderly mother, I appreciate it.

#Newsom wants to transform #SanQuentin using Scandinavian model

“What’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 — 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”

You were born naked. All clothing is drag.

@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.

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.

@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 “argue with her ideas” as if they were presented in good faith, as if the anti-“wokeism” 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.

Posted in 2023, not 1953. Please do not describe your trainees by their physical attributes. Pretty, smiling, young have nothing to do with aptitude.

@ScottSoCal thanks for the follow. Read your bio and just stumbled on this photo of one of my favorite books by John Scalzi.

I turned 35.

l have served in elected office since the age of 25.

As a public servant, I wake up every morning, doing what I love and loving what I do.

A life of meaning is the birthday gift that keeps on giving.
