Someone I personally know once said: “Can you truly say you’ve lived in a place if you can’t speak the native language of that place?”
Do you agree with them?

It is fascism.
At a journalism event I asked about using the word so journalism can cover and explain it. I was told that we can't call fascists fascists because it would put off the fascists.
This is fascism. Those who refuse to identify it are not doing journalism.

@minego @pathfinder @dave @hellomiakoda I gave this an awful lot of thought over the years. Maybe this is Buddhism finally seeping into my skull, but I’m starting to feel it’s far easier if I stop classifying people as “friend” or “acquaintance,” etc and just see them all as fellow primates. Maybe I’m tired of all the complications that compartmentalizing people brings…I dunnow what I’m talking about. Ignore me. 😅🙏
@pathfinder
@dave @hellomiakoda Looking back at my life I realize that at almost every point I had one actual good friend.
I just don't have the energy for more, and that person has always been someone I don't have to mask around.
There have often been people I'm friendly with, but only actually see because of the situation (school, work, neighborhood, etc) but never more than one actual good friend at a time.
Just a heads up: I’ll be moving this account on over to Beige.party. Thank you for your ongoing patronage!

@servelan I’m surprised they’re even bothering with a recall.
