Oh no. One of the many seasonal inflatable comrades that have fallen.

Good morning & lets start the day with this:

Please remember us for more than bombs, destruction and war. Educate yourselves. Learn about Arabs and the Middle East. Learn about our rich culture and history, learn about our food, our desserts, our music, our art. Learn about the talented craftsmen making soap, tapestries, wooden mosaics from the 8th century and breathtaking architecture. Learn about the beautiful and historic churches and mosques. Learn about the nightlife. The extremely lively nightlife that people from all over the world travel to just to party. Our parties. Learn how we party and celebrate. Learn about the beaches and their beauty. The stunning mountains. The serene valleys. The farms. The villages and towns you’ve probably never heard of with the most beautiful humans and traditions. The traditions. Learn about our traditions. Our superstitions. Learn about our people, our community, how we take care of each other and rebuild. Learn about our language. Our beautiful poetic language. Learn about our dancing. Our generational poems sung as mawals at every gathering and concert that inspire hope, resilience and strength. Our resistance. Learn about our resistance.

Learn about us. Don’t let them only show you war, blood and obliteration.

@mathi_gwithyas I am still slow and had to also adopt a slightly different rhythm. These days, it’s good to pick up a phone anyway!

I’m in Iqaluit. Have a photo of the cabin. #nunavut

@mathi_gwithyas Yah I had to relearn typing with my left hand. On days with zillions of emails, I wish I didn’t!

After my stroke, I don’t quite have the heat sensitivity in my hands. My #stroke was almost exactly four years ago but sometimes it still results in spilled curry. 🍛

@JustOneMoreThing I feel this as someone taking care of my parents with no children.

@adrianww I’m so sorry 😢

@nev my floof 😢

@elizarde 😢thanks, he was such a funny buddy with so much character. The house is so quiet.

First #caturday without my dear big goof #kinglouiecat. Cat-shaped hole in my heart 😿#catsofmastodon

this whole leaving the house to drive thirty minutes to a second location to do work on a similar but separate computer and then returning home is bullshit and we should just not.

You’ll be shocked to hear that when people have enough money that they’re almost not in povery that their mental health improves.

“Emergency cash payments found to have positive impact on vulnerable young Australians” https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/emergency-cash-payments-found-to-have-positive-impact-on-vulnerable-young-australians

Every time someone actually tries universal basic income, it works astoundingly well. Every time.

We should do something with that information.

“#Wisconsin voters on Tuesday rejected Republican-authored ballot questions that would have limited the governor’s power to spend federal money that comes to the state for disaster relief or any other crisis, unless it’s already earmarked.

The constitutional amendments were placed on the ballot by the GOP-controlled Legislature.

Democrats, including Gov. Tony Evers, and a host of liberal groups and others organized against the amendments.”

Ooo friend just said something super insightful:

"Saying "I'm an ally" is kind of like saying "I'm very funny". You can't just say you're funny. You either make people laugh or you don't. You either make people feel like you are an ally or you don't."
