oop. I should come on here more.

I have the same problem with mastodon as I do bsky. I don't get app notifications so I forget it exists.

3 days after being released from quarantine, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins were showered with ticker tape and cheered on by an exuberant crowd in New York City #OTD in 1969.

To summarize: Given that our government and cultures are controlled by a) capitalists and b) religious leaders...it's pretty much a given that ignorance and emotion are the driving forces in our society.

This is what I'm talking about. Link to video:

There's some scammer on tiktok saying they chose to be homeless for a couple of hours, and it's not that bad, and it's completely a choice.

You went on a walk. You weren't homeless

Teachers can only deduct $250 in school supplies on their taxes, but billionaire Harlon Crow can write off his super yacht.😐

Why? Because millionaire politicians funded by billionaires & corporations write tax law for billionaires. We need a Congress for working people—not the .1%

This is yet another reason why my run for US Congress is 100% people funded. We need public servants accountable to people, not corporate funded politicians accountable to billionaires.

It's pronounced "crism."

XRISM, a collaboration between NASA and @JAXA_en, will soon lift off to give us a new look at some of the most energetic objects in the universe—and the X-rays they send through space: https://go.nasa.gov/44vyeQW

WHOOPS 😲 Commission for a private client, from the previous batch!

[ #WorldOfWarcraft #Pandaren #FurryArt #MastoArt #Commission ]

I had two meetings this morning about progressive fundraising for 2024, one about FEC compliance, another on data analytics for voter targeting, and a prep meeting for digitally organizing voters under 30.

Meanwhile, this is the discourse from the REAL STRATEGISTS.

Periodic reminder that if you’re in a hotel where the blackout curtains have an annoying gap and won’t stay closed, the hangars with the clippies are great at holding them together so you can actually get some darkness and sleep.

Instagram's boss says Threads isn't really interested in being a home for politics or news. That alone is an extreme political position. Everything is politics, after all. Nothing is neutral.

Linked all my socials on my profile. I might eventually go back to patreon but I've been feeling uninspired (also I only had one patron so like lol)

I should use this more often. I promise I will!

Don't touch it, it's mine, and I need them ALL.

The downfall of living a half mile from your job is that if you have a snowstorm of epic proportions coming it's hard to say 'oh yea I can't drive in this" bc you only have to go a half mile.

This exactly how conservatives & gender criticals (TERFs) think about a trans person.

Note that there is zero empathy here. Nada. Zilch. Zero concern for her life being taken from her.

Meanwhile, mainstream media wants to continue to debate trans existence, as if we're an opinion to be debated like coffee or tea.

If you're a journalist and not covering what is happening to trans people right now, or wants to air "both sides" of this "debate", then her blood is on your hands too.
