@StillIRise1963 Certainly one of them. Online shopping was another. Yeah, it was convenient. Convenient for monopolists. America's decline didn't start with Amazon, but sure has helped decimate cites and towns across America. We don't talk about either. Which is partly why I believe so many young progressives can only talk about human rights and power differentials. It's really all they hear about from thought leaders, today. The Fediverse "might" change that. Might.

I sharted, tbs.

Today in 2014, Orunamamu died in Calgary. For decades she worked as a teacher before retiring.
After her retirement, she began traveling around North America, using storytelling as a performance medium, saying storytelling demonstrates the humanity in every culture.

Listen,luvs . I'm going to "like" a toot I read.
The writer should know their toot was read. It's the least we can do for each other in my opinion.
How many times have you read toots about people that feel they are not being seen or "no one reads me so why bother?"
So yeah, I'm liking toots and if that makes me not cool or old ..well, okay..and by the way I still say pocketbook too.

Americans are understandably excited about the #TrumpIndictment
Just want to say that in #Malaysia, we have prime ministers who ARE in prison, WERE in prison or HEADING to prison.
You can say that we're highly experienced in the field of sending our leaders to jail.

Malaysia boleh! 😆

@ScottSoCal Gotcha. The Dispatcher books are still great stuff. I recommend giving them a read if you haven’t.

#NewYork! All out against #MTG and her far-Right lapdogs!

Emergency Noise Demo - New York is louder than Hate Speech!

There was a young actress from Vegas
She was brazen and totally shameless
So when down on her luck
For a couple of bucks
She’d show you her Coriolanus

The neighbors dropped by 😳

It would be a shame if people who were prepping to cause trouble today as a result of Trump’s indictment were to be boxed in by cars or found all 4 of their tires flattened.

Just a real shame.

#ElectionDay Heading to the polls to get my 'I Voted' sticker. Well, in about 1-1/2 hours.
I like to stop in on my way to work.

A strong next generation is precisely what Republicans don't want to see in the young

They want murderously insane child soldiers like Kyle Rittenhouse, not inspirational & smart children like Amanda Gorman

They want a next generation as simply consumers, not citizens

They want underpaid serf labor hopelessly mired in apathy & despair

They want addicts, to violence, to rage

They want the next generation saddled with debt; student loans & mortgages

They want a Nazi do-over

Blame It on the Brain

@ScottSoCal By the way, have you listened to The Dispatcher books on Audible? Read by Zachary Quinto. They’re fantastic.

@ScottSoCal @adhdeanasl we’ve had an Aeropress, some beans, and a hand grinder in our bugout bag/quake kit ever since the big Ridgecrest quakes in ‘19.

@ScottSoCal We have a French press in the cupboard and an extra maker in the basement, but our only grinder is electric. *makes note to find a hand grinder*
