“…the American people’s struggle is to protect democracy and the rule of law. Equally important, we must end oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just the few.”

Enough said.

View from the Trans Community - On Being a Scapegoat


To keep their place as king of the hill, they must constantly push others down. They must police gender boundaries because the precarious place of manhood is predicated on being not-women, not-feminine. In their view, for men to be men, there must be women, the foil.

@depereo @humanhorseshoes tbh buses are just a stop the evolutionary track between cars and train, they've already begun exhibiting Traincinisation

Amazon pulling out of Quebec 🇨🇦 after employees voted to unionize.

1800 employees affected.

in reply to Downshift 🍁

Jeff Bezos is jealous of Walmart, which invented the global, "I'll take my marbles and go home - and not repay the local subsidies I extorted from you, host govt - if you make me comply with local laws. Don't you know who I am?"

The answer, of course, is yes, yes we do.

in reply to Downshift 🍁

ICYDK Amazon founder, billionaire Jeff Bezos, was in the first row behind Trump on Monday at the interrogation. Trump is attacking Canada 🇨🇦. Now Amazon is attacking Canadian workers.

In solidarity with fellow Canadians 🍁 , I just started the return process for 3 items I purchased from Amazon over the holidays and are still eligible. I'll buy local. I'll buy Canadian.

There's so much that can happen in just two months.

I published this blog post on October 28: blog.elenarossini.com/the-fedi…

Back then, I never imagined that by the end of the year I would be running my own self-hosted Fediverse instance.

I'm feeling so much more hopeful and empowered these days and I need to thank YOU, wonderful people of the Fediverse, for encouraging me to take the plunge and try #YunoHost and #GoToSocial. I'll be unveiling my new instance soon. For now, THANK YOU ❤️ ✨

Cancer is the No. 1 cause of death among firefighters. In 2022, the World Health Organization categorized firefighting itself as “carcinogenic to humans” due to the sheer volume of chemicals workers come into contact with on the job.

And despite recent attempts to shield firefighters from inhaling smoke filled with toxic chemicals, the crews working to contain LA’s firestorm lack adequate respiratory protection

Deciding when to leave can be lonely, also when it comes to X!

But one can also coordinate and act together: 60+ German universities leave X 👋🏼

Painted my in-laws house before Christmas as a present. I own a small painting business and had my 3 lads on the job. Looks great and not 1 spec dropped. On Christmas Day the in-laws told me the job took too long and didn't like my workers. I just emailed them a bill for 1200

So, this has been in the works for a while, arguably most of last year. I intend to transfer my personal ownership of the Mastodon trademarks and assets, incl. copyright over my code, to the Mastodon non-profit, and transition to a different role at the organization.

@midtsveen
> @Gargron Thank you for creating Mastodon, a platform where I can freely share my views

@Gargron certainly deserves credit for creating the Mastodon software and leading the project infrastructure built around it. But as I'm sure he'd agree, the platform that Mastodon is currently the largest part of - the fediverse - is the work of hundreds of dedicated people. Many of whom worked unpaid (maybe still do), and all of whom deserve our thanks.

For a start, we also need to thank Evan Prodromou and the StatusNet crew for creating OStatus. Also Matt Lee and Mikael Nordfeldth for forking StatusNet to create GNU social, which the original Mastodon was designed to be compatible with.

Not to mention Christine Lemmer-Webber, Jessica Tallon, Erin Shepherd, and Amy Guy. Along with Evan, they led the W3C group that wrote the ActivityPub spec. Which allowed the fediverse - including Mastodon - to become what it is today.

A TED talk given by Jenny Chase @solar_chase on how incredibly cheap #solar really is, how it‘s changing places like #Pakistan, #SouthAfrica and #California, and how it’s almost impossible to get good #data on the distribution of solar (even Germany and Spain install more solar than they report in the official data). ted.com/talks/jenny_chase_sola…

California Wildfires!

This feels like Day 100 already of mankind's fight against the flames!

January wildfires are abnormal in California; this is their 'wet' season. The face of Climate Change in 2025.

Hello Frendica


California checking in. Looking for new social media after deleting Facebook. No more free content for fascists!
Let's talk nature, bikes, GenX retirement, music, and global events.
in reply to Green Hombre

Well, I didn't quit my FB account yet, but definitely looking for alternatives. Also joined mastodon today (it's X alternative). Hi from across the big pond.
