Ego doesn't know wtf he's doing.

Further proof. The 'genius' is only successful due to his non-involvement in his biz. It's the clever managers figuring out ways to distract him, so THEY can do the WORK.

It’s over.

NPR leaves Twitter.

The news organization that legitimized the (now) alt-right platform has had enough.

The logical move is for journalists to come to Mastodon

If you dont think the Dobbs decision is having real life or death consequences every day for women in America, I can assure you, as a psychiatrist with no specific OBGYN collaborative care hours, im seeing multiple cases monthly where it's absolutely the case.

Writing off forced birthers from my life like the Nazis they are helps me stay consistent with my values and not accept these grave injustices.

Do recommend.

If anyone has a secret mobile phone hidden from an abusive partner, remember to switch off or put in airplane mode etc as described below, or the phone will be activated with the loud alert on the evening of 23/04.

Please share this to help keep others safe

The alert will say:

“This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.

In an actual emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe.

Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information.

This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”

Mobile phone masts in the surrounding area will broadcast an alert. Every compatible mobile phone or tablet in range of a mast will receive the alert.

Your mobile phone or tablet does not have to be connected to mobile data or wifi to get alerts.

You can opt out of emergency alerts, but the government advises you should keep them switched on for your own safety.

To opt out:

Search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’.
Turn off ‘severe alerts’ and ‘extreme alerts’.
If you still get alerts, contact your device manufacturer for help.

11 April 1945 | American forces liberated the #Buchenwald concentration camp. Among liberated prisoners were those evacuated from #Auschwitz.

Between 1937-45 the Germans imprisoned in this camp almost 280,000 people. Over 56,000 of them were killed. https://www.buchenwald.de/en/geschichte/chronologie/konzentrationslager

God strikes out at Elron's Starlink satellites.

Solar ejections threw FORTYNINE of Elon's satellites out of the sky, dashed them into the atmosphere where they burned to cinders.

Wake up Elron, you wont be getting such strong warnings often. God hates white supremacists.

I'll give you one guess as to what kind of weapon was used in yesterday’s mass shooting in Louisville.

“The russians have already occupied twenty #nature reserves in Ukraine. They are turning parks, where rare species of animals and plants are supposed to be protected, into hunting grounds, mines, and parking lots for tanks. The survival of #wildlife is another important reason why Ukrainian lands should be freed as soon as possible,” - Andrii Yermak, the head of the Office of the President of #Ukraine

Recently I have also become #uap curious https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo

Currently I'm paying a lot of attention to the invasion of Ukraine, the pandemic, the rise of fascism, disinfo, cyber badness, and how to tip the environment toward species survival. Send cats.

NO! (screams at app that paused at .1 miles for no discernable reason)

@ScottSoCal Cool happened to me and now I know I am not the only one #hacks

my mom once told me that i feel like an alien that came on earth and can't blend in with humans well.

while i am certain that i am native to earth, i find that...there is something about what she said.

i don't really belong to any people.
i am kazakh but due to the consequences of cultural imperialism and the fact i grew up in a russian speaking neighborhood, i am largely detached from my culture, even despite trying to find it again

i don't belong to the community of english speaking people either because i am a foreigner, i don't speak english well, and in general, our social experiences are so different i simply fear i will always be an outlier.

i don't belong among average people because to them i am too weird. or too radical. too gay. too strange. i don't belong among my family because they are queerphobic. i don't belong to anybody irl because people who even claim to be allies are not actually allies.

not to mentioned im neurodiv and socially awkward and anxious.

i don't know what my home is.

Our country grieves the victims of yet another senseless mass shooting, this time in Louisville.

2023 has seen more mass shootings than days.

This cannot continue to be our reality. #GunReformNOW

Where the fuck does one move as a trans person in Europe these days? I know that, technically, a lot of countries are oh-so transfriendly. But I also know that under the surface layer, that is often utter lies and bullshit. And I am so fucking over it.

ETA: Boosts welcome! I always forget to say that 😊
