My Twitter account is no longer permanently suspended, but now it's locked unless I delete a specific tweet that billionaire Elon Musk doesn't like

@gwensnyder I'm a twitter lurker
I am shy
I held on. I doomscrolled. Kept onto my fave journalists once they talked about doxxing yet ngo and chaya weren't going away
I walked
For some reason I feel safer here
Well see

@ScottSoCal @kskilesstudio Ah yes, thanks for taking the time to engage. I am happily lurking for the moment, trying out federated timelines, hashtags, etc. Had not discovered notifications though, so had missed all the people following me and some replies. That's fixed now :)

I’ve been making festive tree decorations which suit my sense of humour. All that’s left to add is the ribbon loops for hanging. #crafting #sewing #gingerbread #festive #festivefun

Nintendo has strayed so far from its roots.

DO NOT TOUCH would probably be a really unsettling thing to read in braille.

“This is not just about political disagreements. We’re talking about violent rhetoric... The lack of basic information literacy — you’re seeing members of Congress treat YouTube videos from foreign countries as if they’re gospel. All of that is really, really alarming… it’s like looking into the mouth of madness…
You’re seeing people unspool… all in service of this authoritarian goal, which is completely disregarding a democratic election.”

It's raining men because the aliens are returning the abductees in the most compelling way possible.

I can't be the only one who hates that Elon claims he has autism.

I wish society would stop letting these ppl claim they've got autism to explain the fact that they are just horrible fucking ppl.

Can I say fucking on Mastodon? I just did. We'll see what happens.

russians hate the west so much, the west should really stop forcing its products on them

Google should stop all its services in russia: Gmail, YT, Google docs etc.

Microsoft should shut down Office 365, windows etc.

Apple should block iOS there

I can go on, and on, and on.

Floof found this teeny little Christmas tree and wonders if it tastes like mint.

Imagine being invited to a party and it's the coolest party you've ever been to. Doctors, Scientists, Photographers, Journalists, Artists of Every Type, Tech People, Chefs, Bartenders, the list goes on and on, they are all here, they brought their pets, and some really good weed and a bottle of something nice, and everyone is sharing interesting things about themselves and society.

AND Y'ALL, I'VE BEEN ON HERE A MONTH, AND NO ONE HAS SEXUALLY HARASSED ME, NOT EVEN ONCE! No MAGA dude has called me little lady and tried to explain my beliefs to me. If someone thought I was incorrect about something, they just made intelligent points about it and moved on.

Can we keep it this way, pretty pretty please?!

My favorite trick as a lighting designer is to turn on 50,000 watts of stage lights and convince an audience they are looking at a dark room. #Stagecraft

Hello Mastodon! I'm Brian Klaas - an associate professor of global politics at University College London, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and host/creator of the Power Corrupts podcast. I'm originally from Minnesota.

I'm also writing a newsletter on Substack called "The Garden of Forking Paths."

And yes, that is a lemur on my shoulder...I spend a fair bit of time in Madagascar for research.

A long time ago I visited Auschwitz. The guide was a former inmate who had a number tattooed on his arm. I saw the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of belongings. Beware when a group or groups are singled out as a “problem”. When Texas wants to compile lists of trans people, it rings a terrible historical bell. People say don’t be hysterical. People said that in 1933 too. We should know better. #politics #uspol #uspolitics

I went to the zoo. It was terrible because there was only one animal and it was a dog.
It was a Shih Tzu.

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

What a hero
