Watching the response by many cis folks to twitter and the Antisemitic FART/TERF Wizard lady, it's become increasingly clear to me that the level of allyship a lot of them are willing to engage in is "I'll do anything to protect Trans/Queer/Jewish/Black folks that doesn't stop me doing whatever I want to do, and is less than a minor inconvenience. Ideally it should be fun, like parties and parades."

*Sigh*

Cis people need to do better.

Someone just called me a pompous snob.

I was so flummoxed, my monocle fell right into my shark fin soup.

Saying women can’t choose to have abortions unless we’re raped is telling us we don’t EARN autonomy over our own bodies until a man violates it.

Decided to quit caffeine and discovered something very interesting without it: Did you know that every single person is extremely irritating?

On 15th April 1945 the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated. Some 50,000 prisoners including around 3,500 children died in the camp of hunger, disease or physical violence. Those who died included Jews, Czechs, Poles, anti-Nazi Christians, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti. When the camp was liberated soldiers found thousands of unburied bodies.

When we come to the Carpathians, we definitely buy cheese horses. It is very tasty. There, according to tradition, it is placed in the Easter basket. In the Vinnytsia region, we bake a cheese casserole. Today I will assemble the basket and show what we will put in it.

Not to brag, but I just put together an IKEA bookshelf in record time ... 3 years, nine months and 27 days.

This afternoon I had a text chat with an Apple sales rep named Laura, asking for help figuring out how to trade in multiple computers to buy one. When she was done helping me, she asked if she could say something. Intrigued, I said yes. Here’s that conversation:

I am struggling with relief that a temporary stay has been placed, anger at who did it (Alito) and rage that the pharma lobbyists are the ones now controlling this entire thing. No one gives a shit about the real women and the lives that will be effected by this. #AbortionRights #WomensRights
#SupremeCourt temporarily restores access to abortion pill #Mifepristone .

Greetings #mastodon! This is my very first post on #fediverse. 😀

I recently left #twitter to stand in solidarity with #NPR and @gbhnews.

A still life with a surreal twist. A little nod to Dali's surrealistic work with two pears arranged in a yin & yang pattern. Pairing the two pears alongside the upside down tea mug you then have the recipe for a surreal treat to hang on your wall!

If you're using Mastodon through a computer, there are lots of keyboard shortcuts you can use. Type shift + ? (or just ? depending on your keyboard layout) to see a complete list of all the shortcuts.

You can also type emojis directly in posts by typing a colon : and then a keyword without a space, which brings up matching emoji. For example :sun would show emoji with the keyword "sun".

There's more info on these features at https://fedi.tips/using-mastodon-through-a-keyboard/

This only works for me if I choose who participates. I have many coworkers that I'd like to put MORE clothes on.
