@kjw810 @jaybird110127 it is sad indeed.
For anyone who might be interested, here's a copy of what appears to be the first CBS hourly newscast announcing breaking news of Pope Francis's death. This is from Apple Podcasts, and a bit is cut off at the end, but fwiw, here it is.
Why can't eggs have love? They will break up too soon.
@desertstar84 what is tapestry?
Your lover may one day leave you.
Your friends may forget you.
Your heart will be broken.
But music will never abandon you.
@Pawpower how much was the doddle
I know it's old fashioned, but I really miss just buying software once and installing it in my laptop and it's mine forever, you know?
sorry for the language in my last boost but... truth is truth
By presidential order all federal assistance programs have been paused. This is bad.
Pausing this means most homeless shelters are in danger of shutting down. My wife works with homeless teenagers and unless this is reversed (and quickly) or some people with big pockets step in, it is likely kids will be put out on the street when there's otherwise no reason for it. If they can't pay for the utility bill to keep the water running, then legally they can't provide housing.
If this is happening to homeless kids... just stop and think about how far reaching the implications of this is.
According to a quick internet search, nearly 330,000 people live in homeless shelters and could be thrown back out on the street by this heartless presidential order. Beyond that, the workers that help these people usually make minimal income and may lose their jobs creating a snowballing effect... with even more people becoming homeless.
The order was paused by a judge, but if nothing changes that pause ends next week. And in the meantime the ball is already rolling to stop aid getting to where it's needed.
This is how we take care of the orphan and widow. This is not how we take care of the hurting and weak. This is not how we follow Christ.

I say this a bunch but one of the sheer joys of Mastodon is simply boosting stuff you like. I mean it's so silly but here, you get to be the algorithm. If you don't boost, it don't get boosted. So... whatever your reasons, boost, boost, boost!
Drop that goddam shyness that the other sites somehow programmed into you, as if your own stuff will get punished if you help others' along.
Also boost is nice word.
Why don't eggs tell jokes? They'd crack each other up
