Durham County, North Carolina serving 32k students just passed extremely strong school board protections for trans students!

This came after a wave of anti-trans candidates lost, including school board candidates in NC.

I’m not sure if I want my child reading this book “The Holy Bible”

It contains stories about rape, incest, homosexuality, murder, and many other adult situations.

It is also a blatant attempt at indoctrination. You know, that big scary word Fox News uses all the time.

This is a formal request from me to artists across #Mastodon and the rest of the #fediverse: please, promote the ever-loving heck out of your creations. Share what you love, what you're making, and what you're selling.

I don't have that much cash, like ever, but I can totally buy a few things every month and am totally cool with supporting people in this space.

AND HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER 51

Went to a new doctor this morning for a routine checkup and I'm proud to say everything went well, until I backed into the emergency button & sirens went off and everybody started running out into the hallway.

Man, Kyle Rittenhouse hasn’t aged well.

Over the past week we've seen a noticeable uptick in men joining, following dozens of accounts presenting as women, and then messaging them directly.

Some appear to be real people, some are fake accounts with stolen identities.

Either way, this is stalking and harassing behaviour, and we have zero tolerance for it.

For those affected by accounts we fail to catch, please report them. We _will_ take action, and you'll help keep the community safe and welcoming for all.

Diolch.

This is actually my 2nd Mastodon acct. I was never able to regain access to it or figure out migration so I'm starting over w/ a new #introduction

I am a #Freshwater #Algae ecologist! I study algae and their macromolecules (mainly #FattyAcids) as a way to learn how human actions affect #Biodiversity and #FoodWebs. I work at a #PUI #SLAC where in between all the teaching, I mentor #Undergraduate #Research students on freshwater and other ecology projects!

#thoughts about blue bird-

So I haven't posted anything on the bird site or done anything except randomly look at a few posts.

So today someone linked to a story. I clicked over and was reading some of the comments. This was a post about wearing masks, and one man said how he had cancer and that he was still wearing mask.

The hatred, ugliness and utter vitriol coming from his fellow tweeters? In just a few short days I had forgotten how revolting it is over there. Glad I left. #twitterhate

Story of my life.. 😂

Meanwhile over on the #birdsite, even the Oregon and Washington Bureau of Land Management’s social media team is trolling Musk. 🤣

Apologies, the typing intern responsible has now been fired.

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨​

Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are fighting, which is exactly what I wanted for Christmas. 🎅🙏

I see there's chatter about creators being discouraged from posting their shop links and promoting their art for sale etc. on fedi.

Most of the pre-influx userbase of the fediverse chose to come here because they're tired of corporations and capitalism. They are very eager to support indie creators and very receptive to seeing shop links, Patreon/Ko-Fi links, commission sheets, etc.

I encourage our members to share their shop links liberally. People want to support you here. 💜
