Well, this has been fun, but everyone on this site is looking for a fight whether one is in the offing or not and I've been on Shitter enough to know when to bail. Good luck with your clone of a rotten system.

Historic Black communities are disappearing, and descendants are trying to save them “Researchers estimate there are less than 30 incorporated historic Black towns left in the US, a fraction of more than 1,200 at the peak between the 1880s and 1915.”

Descendants fight to maintain historic Black communities. Keeping their legacy alive is complicated

Historic Black communities have dwindled from their once-thriving existence in the US and efforts to preserve what's left encounter complicated challenges

Anyone out there with #Sjogrens #Polyneuropathy? (Neuro involvement of both CNS and peripheral). I've just been diagnosed after a four year specialist runaround. Problem: I'm already at toxicity for Plaquenil and I'm allergic to gabapentin and its relatives. I'm desperate; it's affecting Everything.

We do not feel like a first world country i gotta be honest

This is one of the most difficult stories I’ve ever read. But it’s a horrific reality for some migrant children. "The New York Times spoke with more than 100 child roofers in nearly two dozen states, including some who began at elementary-school age.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

WASHINGTON (AP) — US homelessness, tied to soaring rents and loss of pandemic aid, up 12% to highest level since reporting began in 2007.

Really wish that #GrammarPolice hadn't been replaced by radical anti-puncuationalists. "I hate Oxford commas!" "People who use dashes should be shot!" "Ewww! Periods are for GIRLS!!!". *sigh* I will give a virtual bunny to the person who agrees that this is a big world with room for variety. Right?

I’m so deeply fascinated by this ongoing conversation—and the one about internal monologue. I’m a straight-up 1 and my inner narrator is LOUD. 😂

I’m very late to this, but it kind of blew my mind. I’m skeptical it really exists. Don’t 5’s “see” their dreams? When 5’s remember their childhood bedroom, don’t they conjure an image?

Heads up dog people, xylitol (toxic, very bad sweetener!) is getting a makeover as ‘birch sugar.’ Check ingredients carefully before sharing with your canine pals!

Paws Off! Xylitol is Toxic to Dogs

This poster describes the common types of xylitol containing products and the most common symptoms of xylitol poisoning in dogs.

TIL if you ask someone talking about their marginalization to stop doing so with language that actually marginalizes others, they will Eat You. This is because two things canNot be true at the same time, and if you're marginalized you're immune from being a bigot toward anyone else. Cool. #sarcasm

My favourite genre of social media post is 'white people explain racism to me.' In her original 2008 essay 'Men Explain Things To Me', Rebecca Solnit wrote, "no man has ever apologised for explaining, wrongly, things that I know and they don't." Same, only, with racism.

Mix 3 is complete. not sure it's done yet, but getting closer!

I can no longer sue Thomas C. Altman of Oswego for child molestation and abuse under NY law, as the set time for older survivors to file in court has passed. I opted not to, because statistically speaking, I can't afford to pay His court fees when they claim my myriad witnesses aren't enough proof.

Not every way but in so many ways homelessness is simply a disability justice issue.

“Libby never thought she’d be homeless…Then she got cancer & eventually became too ill to work her old job at a hardware store” This should never happen.

No work tomorrow, so I might run a little longer. I usually spin 7pm-11pm, but we'll see how I feel. Come join me and listen to all sorts of music I love! twitch.tv/doorsinthela...

Absolutely LOVE the new trend of so-called anarchists Cheering On Trump as some kind of "gotcha" because they Just Now Figured Out that Joe sometimes supports genocide. To be clear: I don't support Biden. I am not a Democrat. But I DO, for some reason, Want a VIABLE Alternative!

The two things I most loved on Twitter were sports and niche medieval content. Glad to see at least one of those is finding a home on Bluesky.

Terrible news, the Tiktok teens love Charles VI now, they say he is "relatable" and France was wrong for wanting him to conform

I can't build a car, and I can't afford to buy a legal car, so it's fine if I go to my local chop shop with a few specs and have them put something together for me from parts of other people's cars. Fair use. #AI #AIisNotIntelligent #AIisNotCreative #AIisNotAI

#AI is not Only theft, it's Also a bad imitator. Only nonartists think art is about ideas. Artists get them volunteered by Everyone. Art is labor. It's what takes the pieces and makes them transcend their sum. If you're not laboring, you're not an artist. You're just someone who wishes you were.

LOL, back when I bothered going to parties pre-pandemic, I ran into that all the time. I got more ideas than I'll live long enough to write; I've forgotten more than that. Ideas are easy! But hopefully they'll occupy themselves with AI novels now and leave real writers alone.

I'm not part of the white American Anglo Saxon mainstream "we." So when they're saying "we" I'm looking at who we're talking about. Because it's not me, it's y'all, for whom I'm invisible.

Picture, if you will, a box. This box, when pressed, will give you ten thousand dollars, instantly, in exchange for killing one police officer currently on duty. The question remains wait, stop pressing it. Let me finish my monologue before we do the Twil- wait. Come on you are just mashing it now.

#Disability Repressing my urge to curse. Repressing my urge to curse. Hand surgeon yesterday: Your surgery will be in December. We'll start on the left even though you're right-handed. It Could help the numbness. It Can't help the pain and weakness. See you soon! ... Why don't I want this surgery?

I am seeking a #Freelance #Artist for an #ArtCommission . I want to license an existing or created piece for a book of poetry to be privately and freely distributed as a gift. Budget is small, about $75, but I do not expect the original. A tif file I can use and permission will cover it! DM me!
