BREAKING: The U.S. Senate passes the Electoral Count Reform Act in the omnibus spending bill. The legislation aims to prevent a repeat of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and now heads to the U.S. House. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/u-s-senate-passes-electoral-count-reform-act/

Like Malcolm X, Nina Simone was a passionate activist and dedicated to the Black liberation struggle. She posed in this photo very intentionally as an homage to Malcolm. 🖤🙏🏿 #BlackFriday #BlackMastodon #Mastodon

I'm making friends with as many of them as I can: the Age of Cats is coming 😳😂😸

@ScottSoCal @RickiTarr I convinced grandpa ~2015 to get a Prius when we needed to replace the van grandma used to drive. It’s a 2009 hybrid, and for a guy who’s been a farmer his whole life driving mostly trucks, I was happy he ended up loving it.

He passed this summer, and it’s still holding up under me, but I’d love to upgrade. Unfortunately, can’t get an EV bc I’m in rural nowhere and nearest charging station is 1.5 hours away 😬

I do check in on Twatter sometimes but it has become a shithole social media company. It’s a cesspool and I’m tired of the aggression. Some people say to stay there and fight, but we’re fighting with morons who will never change their minds, with Muskovite fanboys, and with bots. Democrats need to work with every outreach possible, but it’s exhausting.

That’s the toot.

The whole idea of the town square is that it belongs to the town. No one should be able to buy it. And honestly, they can’t.

Twitter isn’t really the town square, any more than Facebook is or MySpace was.

We are the town square. It goes where we go. No one can buy that.

Oh good the fractals are here

you’d think she’d look happier

"When it comes to individual decisions, masks are among the most low-cost and most effective steps that can be taken to broadly reduce transmission of a multitude of viruses."

As my personal call to wear #masks in order to protect yourself and others and to battle the #Covid pandemic, I've changed my profile pic to show my favourite mask.

It's a Draeger X-plore 1930 (FFP3). This mask comes in two sizes. Could be a bit cheaper, though.

For me at least, getting onto @Mastodon and appreciating the structure of the platform and the tone of conversation has made these other pop-up social networks (Twitter replacements) totally unattractive. No, I don’t want to move up on a wait list by “referring 5 friends”; no, I don’t want to be part of another Jack Dorsey project; no, I don’t want to be part of something with weird completely top-down control. Mastodon broke me for other platforms.

This pic gives me goosebumps!

Wish I knew who the photographer is.
