When I was posting over at Saudi-government-funded Twitter, I routinely included outbound links to things I thought other people should see, and got minimal engagement. It turned out that Twitter was actively demoting my efforts to share my sources.

Here, I add links and regularly get dozens to (less often) hundreds of boosts. Because the fediverse is not about deciding things for you (and me). It's about us deciding for ourselves. Which is as it should be.

Good rule.

My relationship with my brain be like

Our crow, she visits us every day to pick up some peanuts.
She often waits in front of the window and gives us this look...

For all you non-native English speakers out there, “read” is pronounced like “lead”, and “read” is pronounced like “lead”.

Oh, so funny. 🙈

Meet Twitter's New CEO

@StefanThinks I am SO ready for this!

Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

And I’m back in the capital.

The counteroffensive for which this publication is named after may still be a ways off.

Ukraine is waiting for more equipment from its western partners, Zelenskyy said.

The best part of waking up is a Robin in your cup, hope you enjoy:)

Have you ever been called to serve on a jury? (I haven't - and I'm really annoyed about it, even though everyone says it's really boring.)

I love pushing the abstraction in my macro work. It creates a fun modern contemporary style. What do you think?

Unhand me, woman!

I remember being in the third grade and there was a math problem that had the wrong answer in the book. And the teacher told me to come to the board and show why it was wrong, so I did. And she was like, “You are correct, good job!” And I was so proud, and told my mom about it when she picked me up. But then also this realization hit me, “Wait, these books can be wrong???”

Kill two birds with one stone? Why do you hate birds so much? What did they ever do to you?

I bet Jessie's girl had a name, Rick Springfield, maybe that was your problem.

MAGAs praised the expulsion of Dem TN lawmakers for “lack of decorum” after they loudly protested the murder of children at a Christian school—& now after subsequent protests in response to subsequent mass shootings—MAGAs claim Dems didn’t protest loudly enough when children were murdered at a Christian school.🤔

This is what it looks like when MAGAs politicize the murder of innocent children for cheap political points, rather than activate & demand justice to ensure children don’t die in vain.

I feel seen.

The #txlege is trying to sneak in voucher bill #SB8 Mon after attempts to move it without a hearing were shot down. This time, they've added measures for more high-stake testing. This is what is at stake: @TexasObserver https://www.texasobserver.org/voucher-program-arizona-privitization-public-schools-disabilities/

I made this poll for important research purposes. Please boost so it can reach a wider audience.

Over on #birdsite, the hate group American College of Pediatricians claims they have been subject to a cyberattack when actually they just left 10,000 private files in a completely unsecured Google Drive. Aka they cyberattacked themselves: https://nitter.nl/ACPeds/status/1656630733966909441#m
