Morning all, back with my news hat on, what global stories would you like to hear about on the radio tomorrow morning? Let me know, please, as some of these might actually make it on air - this is my first attempt to get set up prompts for a programme on Mastodon. 😉 On twi it was routinely easy to find excellent experts to explain certain topics - i think masto will fare not worse, fingers crossed 😀

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic Most people who tell you their problems are looking for you to express empathy, not for you to propose a solution.

Watch from the very beginning of the "racial brawl" and you see it was *everyone* against maga racists. Making it white vs. black is just them trying to divide us. MAGA RACISTS are the enemy of ALL DECENT FOLKS, ALWAYS. #montgomery #fascism #alabama #solidarity

My inner dialogue has drastically changed. That’s what my late dx did for me. I don’t have this unkind internal voice like I used to have. A kinder me is speaking now. A forgiving me voice. How life changing inside my own mind that is. From the inside out…beautiful change that does not scare me for once. #gratitude #autism #adhd #differentnotbroken #internalvoice

If you tell me you’re an alpha I’m going to assume you mean like the radiation: incredibly weak, struggles to achieve penetration, but when it does it causes incredible amounts of long term damage.

Is this exclusively a Canadian game?

Sorry, had to ask.

@dukeoffailure @actuallyautistic I’ve worked in office with teammates who I just barely got along with, and at home for the past 3 years. I, weirdly, feel more like I’m connected to my team when I’m not forced to be physically there with them. If that makes sense.

I made a big step today towards something I don’t really want but I’m so panicked about my life that I had to do SOMETHING.

OK last announcement.

If you live in *Ohio* you should have voted "no" by now. But, if you haven't you still have till the end of Aug 8th! Time to search up your poll site and get going!

(But, don't feel bad if this referendum caught you off guard, Ohio Republicans are hoping no one will show up to vote.)

Vote NO on issue 1. It's a strange constitutional amendment that changes the threshold to make it possible for a small group to veto everything. It's the only thing on the ballot.

The FBI reopened its case briefly against Hillary over her emails just weeks before the election, and Trump didn’t call it “ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”

I'll relay a story a friend of mine just told me.
She was at the store and noticed security had detained a person. They were going through a backpack and acussing the person of stealing cans of food. My friend went up to them and pretended to know the person. She then said "I was going to pay for these items, I must've forgot, let's go pay for them now" security reluctantly allowed her to pay for the persons items and let him go.
$22.00, was the cost to feed someone and keep them out of jail.

@ScottSoCal
So true! I recently ran low on kitty kibble so decided to sub in a few doggy nuggets. They were gone before the actual cat stuff!

Well, yup, it's #Caturday and Kitty Kaze, AKA Kazmanian Devil, is determined to share #DogsOfMastodon Pauncho's water bowl despite me setting up a cute station just for her. Pauncho says, It's all good.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened
