It has been less than two weeks since he parked his two-ton ass on his s...
"Giving Rohan to Sauron will guarantee peace in our time" says White Wizard.
Vows to stop Halfling immigration. "They’re poisoning the blood of our country", says the new Wizard-King.
Vows to fight, "The Enemy Within." "We will find the students of foreign Elves and Wizards and deal with them harshly" said incoming Secretary of Homeland Affairs Wormtongue.
If you park at North Piha, check under your car before you leave in case you squash a kororā 💙 (Luckily my partner did, so our neighbour came down and kororā now at bird rescue)
I always have to check under my car for Sunshine Kitty, who likes to relax under there. And possibly other animals too, because opossums like to vibe with the cat too!

Seems like there’s a mass exodus going on from the bird site… are there are handy lists of covid cautious, disability and/or chronic illness accounts to follow?
A number of people have told me they want to leave the bad place but are afraid they will lose their communities if they make the leap.
I see bluesky have starter packs that are helping connect people - wondering if there’s anything similar here? Would intro posts with hashtags be the best way for newbies?
Trying to be cognizant of people‘S limited spoons and fear about learning new platforms - while also encouraging them to come to healthier happier places!
@FediFollows @FediTips this is great! Thank you! Do you have a list of chronic illness, disability and Covid cautious accounts? If not - would you be interested in doing one?
first post on this platform. I realize I cannot truly be open to say what I want on conventional social media anymore since the Nov 5 vote. Looking for like-minded individuals interested in democracy, freedom of speech, rights for everyone

Several folks asking who runs this, sorry should’ve included the link originally: translifeline.org/
That’s the info including all their privacy stuff. Unfortunately many hotlines in the US are run by Christian orgs that promote conversion therapy. I hate this is needed. 💜

This particular org is run by and for the trans community. That’s why it’s the option I share. I hate that we can’t even trust crisis resources not to hurt people more.
Practitioners of nonviolent struggle have an entire arsenal of “nonviolent weapons” at their disposal. Listed below are 198 of them, classified into three broad categories: nonviolent protest and persuasion, noncooperation (social, economic and political), and nonviolent intervention. A description and historical examples of each can be found in volume two of The Politics of Nonviolent Action by Dr. Gene Sharp.
Welcome, weary travelers! If you are new in these parts, allow me to introduce myself.
I’m a #Mastodon utility for iOS and macOS. You can enter any Mastodon server and see things like registration requirements, rules, custom emoji (even grab them for your own use) and which other Mastodon instances they’ve blocked. I even have some cool privacy tools to hide your device from server admins.
I’m free with no ads but I also have a Pro tier with no subscription!
Hi! I’m Mastowatch and I can help you find and inspect Mastodon servers. Whether you're new to Mastodon and just need help finding the perfect instance or you want to look up details and statistics about your favorites, Mastowatch can help you find …
PSA: If you're finding the news hard to handle right now, you can use Mastodon's filtering features to hide content that includes certain keywords or phrases. Navigate to the Preferences section on your profile and then select "Filters" and "Add New Filter." You can also control what you see on Flipboard — here's a quick guide to how our For You feed works and what you can do to tune it.
Looking to rebuild as I make the move to using Mastodon and Bluesky on the regular. Anyone in the #WritingCommunity want to trade a follow for a follow, I'm game.
Oh! And watch for some of the hashtag...things like #writerscoffeeclub and #wordweavers and #writingmonth and...I'm sure there are more but my nerves are shot and thinking isn't working tonight.
yup yup, thanks for the reminder. I have those. I've been here for a while, but spent most time on X. That's changing now, so here and bluesky are my go to online communities.
To anyone who voted for Trump (which is likely not many, given who follows me here)... here is a list of things none of us want to hear from you loud-ass motherfuckers over the next four years.
-Price of eggs/milk/bread/fruits/vegetables. -Price of gas. -Price of new technology or tools. -Price of your medical bills. -Loss of your work benefits or bonuses. -Loss of your job due to budget cuts. -Loss of your social security. -Your friends, coworkers, or members of your own family being deported. -GoFundMes after your uterus-bearing family members die from lack of reproductive health care after being raped, or after an expected pregnancy goes bad. -Complaints about not being able to utilize IVF. -"I didn't think this would happen to me" -That you were arrested if you tried to join protests. -That 911 services dont work when you call them for medical emergencies or fires. -That your non-straight child, trans son, trans daughter, or non-binary offspring was beaten/murdered because of who they are. -Contaminated drinking water -Destruction of national parks -Complaints about endangered animals going extinct. -Warmer winters and blistering summers. -Increasing tornado and hurricane activity. -And more.
None of it. I dont wanna hear a single fucking peep out of you on social media. This is what you voted for. Dont get loud about that just because you didnt think the leopards wouldnt eat your face. You were warned many times over.

For those who did vote for Kamala Harris, including Republicans who voted for Harris, putting country over party, we have a long four years ahead of us. Stay vigilant. Build/seek internal community. Learn homesteading. Learn gardening. Learn survival skills. There are numerous resources online for it. We are a communal species. Throughout human's 12,000 year history, we have either thrived together, or died alone.
