No, FEMA isn’t giving California wildfire victims only $770
No, FEMA isn’t giving California wildfire victims only $770
Posts spreading on social media claim that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is only giving California wildfire victims a one-time, $770 payment. But that’s false and misrepresents how disaster help from the federal government works.www.rumorguard.org

Introduction
Hi. I'm new here. I'm a writer, political activist, and educator. I'm a #DFL officer (#Democrat) in Minnesota, and an Indivisible co-leader in a couple of #Indivisible groups. I tutor students in #SAT and #ACT prep, and select areas of science. I have a novel out there somewhere (In Search of Sungudogo), and I'm working on others.
My substack is Auspicious Subtext auspicioussubtext.substack.com…

It's not broken, it's just realllly slow!
Managed to at least get it to have the queue getting smaller, but it will still take 16 days before it is caught up (after that everything should be on Mastodon immediately)
But I'm still hoping we can speed this up..
like this
Dark Mode V3 of my Friendica FB Facelift user stylesheet. If you're using the Firefox userContent.css make sure to wrap all of this in @-moz-document domain(friendica.world){...} (or whichever server you're on). Otherwise copy+paste into the Stylus add-on for Firefox or Stylus extension for Chrome or the Userscripts extension for Safari. Then in your Friendica Settings - Display - Theme pick "Frio" and under Settings - Display - Theme Customization either pick "Dark" or "Black." Note that the dark mode version does not use a custom schemestring.
The Stylesheet:

@kmh Excellent! Just a tip: Friendica allows code formatting, which makes readability better, while also escaping the code (depending on markup language, some sequences or characters, such as asterisk and underline, could accidentally be parsed as bold/italic).
I don't fully remember which one is the valid syntax for the web version, I guess it's the markdown one (I'm using an Android app to access Friendica, and the app allows me to set either bbcode, html or markdown):
Bbcode: [ code ]your code[ /code ] (remove the spaces)
Html: < code >your code< /code > (remove the spaces)
Markdown: three grave accents (`) in a single line, then the code, then another single line with three grave accents.
Example:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
}Becomes:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
}Hope this helps!

Requiem for a College - A Foggy Day at SJC - 2017
It’s odd the things that pop up in one’s memory feeds. Like these three images this morning.
I’m pretty sure that these were taken by the Love of My Life (aka Evelia) on an unusually warm morning on this day in 2017 on the Saint Joseph’s College Campus. As can happen in Northern Indiana, the sudden transition from sub-zero temps to above freezing actually will cause the snow to evaporate, making things foggy as all get-out. It can be a beautiful, if somewhat haunting, break to the winter cold.
Regardless, these quick phone-snapshots, which Evelia is prone to doing, were likely of her walk from her car at the Lennane Computer Center, where I had my offices as Chief Information Officer, to the Halleck Student Center, where she would have grabbed a cup of coffee before her classes in pre-law.
In other words, on the surface, a typical uneventful morning in Higher Education, and one that is played out at Colleges and Universities all over the U.S. (and the world).
However, just 18 days later, the Board of Trustees would vote to close this school, and suspend operations of the underlying non-profit organization while seeking ways to keep it out of bankruptcy.
As the newly “official” CIO and soon-to-be member of the President’s Cabinet, I was of course aware of the disaster that was unfolding. And I was indeed doing a lot of crisis-management as a result. But even so, emotionally a part of me was still doing various strategic plan scenarios that assumed an attempt to continue operations, coupled with the belief that, like so may times in the past for this institution, we would somehow find a way to avoid our date with the executioner.
It was not to happen.
For anyone interested in the story about the Saint Joseph's College closure, there is a well-written book out there by Dr. Jonathan Nichols that covers it:
amazon.com/Requiem-College-Jon…
And remember, in the immortal words of Ferris Bueller… Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don't Stop and Look Around Once in a While, You Could Miss It.

Alternative to the Inaugural boycott
Maybe stop virtue signalling about not watching the inaugural. Maybe it's true that we lost cuz we abandoned certain spaces. Maybe Thing 1 on Day 1 shouldn't be to proudly continue to do that.
Let's all go to the nearest sports bar, have some chicken wings and a beer, and take it all in there.

Biden's Farewell Message
President Joe Biden's farewell message is reminiscent of Eisenhower's, in that both warned about a takeover of government by a small cabal of self-interested billionaires.
However, like most things Biden...and I love the guy...he's a little late with his message.
The astounding speed with which the billionaire tech bros and MAGA moron zealots have inserted themselves into the decision-making of the incoming administration is one big difference.
Another difference is that this newer group is into "breaking things," not making things -- except massive profits for themselves.
A third difference is that this group is taking a "whole of government" approach, not just focusing on one department's budget.
Finally, this bunch is introducing us to something worse than an oligarchy. They are bringing us a kakistocracy, rule by the incompetent.
We are in for a rough ride. You can be sure that America's rivals for world leadership will be happy to exploit these transactional idiots. Buckle up. Such a shame. We are becoming Russia, maybe just Hungary, but with the Three Stooges in charge. Sad.
