Summer listens while I tell her how we ended up posting pictures of her on Mastodon every day for an entire year.
Today marks one year since we decided to give tooting another try.
My first attempt didn't go so well, so we took a break and tried again. If you have never used social media before, there is a learning curve.
With Summer's support and enthusiastic participation, we have managed to toot for a whole year with almost no drama.
Thanks again for letting me take a minute of your day to share our sweet loving lab and the quiet happenings on our northern California coast hillside.
We will see if we have enough left to say to show and tell for another year.
Love to you all from Grandma, Summer, and her pal.
It's been fun.

You know why everyone is pushing VP Harris today? Because we the people know the scabs are going to try and bring her down and we're tired of it.
@LaNaehForaday @ScottSoCal I don't think so. TFG will not get as much positive press now that the convention is over, he's the oldest candidate now, his acceptance speech is being widely panned, his VP pick is far-right, a conman like TFG, is owned by Thiel..., Harris will attract Gen Z voters & Millennials & most women...
Think of what he could have done with another four. Now we get Trump
"Bidenβs legacy: Far-reaching accomplishments that didnβt translate into pol support."
This was because of lies, propaganda, disinformation, sabotage... by the #media & Republicans, #TFG & their enablers.
"His record includes legislation that'll rebuild the country in ways that will likely be seen over the next dozen years, even if voters did not immediately appreciate it."
Pres Biden has been rightfully compared to FDR. His stellar record will endure.

#AOC To Senior Dem: If You're Resigned To A Trump Win, Retire https://crooksandliars.com/2024/07/aoc-senior-dem-if-youre-resigned-trump-win
@tusk81 I donated today and hope millions more do as well, now is the time to send a loud message, this election is about people and not large donors. VP Harris has my vote.
Trump:
βI think Taiwan should pay us for defense,β Mr. Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek that published on Tuesday. βYou know, weβre no different than an insurance company.β
Is this getting through? #Trump wants #Taiwan to pay for the policy. Y'know, like for an insurance policy. That's very different from paying for weapons.
"Democrats should lean on and reward Black leaders who have been the most loyal and staunch supporters of the Biden-Harris ticket. The Congressional Black Caucus, minus one individual, stayed united and steadfast in promoting the Biden-Harris ticket, and now theyβre fully behind Harris. Black voters, especially Black women, are the strongest base of the Democratic Party."

Keep an eye out for lots of new Fedi accounts with no followers, posts, or profile info. I've been blocking quite a few in the past few days. Now that the #USPol narrative is up in the air, social media everywhere is an especially bright target for trolling, misinformation, and infiltration.
President Biden:
Youβre amazing, President Biden. Even in your departure, you prove presidential. Youβll always been a winner in my book!

Vice President Harris: "I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.β
βI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party-and unite our nation-to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.β
"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."
"And a voter for an aspiring dictator backed by the worldβs greediest fascists and oligarchs and enabled by a stolen and broken Republican Supreme Court is a vote for your vote never to matter again."
Nope. It has to be Harris. Black voters and women are the base of this party. I was on a Biden phone bank training and it was 60% Women and 40% black volunteers. They don't hand it to Harris it's game over.
