Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Experiencing my first minutes on Mastodon. :) Not sure what to expect, but we'll see.

Hi. I’m Sam. This is my first post here. I’m a sign painter in Boston Ma. I draw and paint everything by hand without the use of computers. I’m hoping to connect with some artists and makers like myself.

Have we finished our mourning? Because we need to move onto community defense organizing. Don't be a "Good German". We can't be "Good Americans". Now is not the time to keep your head down.

A lot of liberal folks spent the past few months warning of coming fascism or authoritarianism. I hope that they understand what that means and that it is coming. Fascists do not share power via elections. If you're holding onto "get through the next 4 years" drop that delusion now.

As more people are abandoning X, again, perhaps my short introduction to Mastodon might be of use, if you'd like to share it with your friends?

It’s my birthday today and the grief is hitting me hard. Mom always sent me flowers on my birthday and the absence of that today is like a hole in my heart.

I suppose these milestones get less ouchie over time but…oof. Yeah.

My daughter just left the house at 9pm to meet friends.

How did we do that

@ambercadabra Days? No. Years? Definitely.

Ever say something stupid and then spend literal days obsessing and torturing yourself over it? Just me? 🙃
