Stop thinking of Twitter, TikTok, IG, (et al) as social media sites.
They are **Content Refineries.**
Like processed food manufacturers they take user content & extract the most addicting/engaging content. Brains eat it up but in an unhealthy “devour the whole bag of chips” way.
They make hyper-processed social media junk food.
Mastodon is more like a potluck. We're all bringing dishes. It's a mess. Kids are running all over. But we are, at least, real people sharing real things.
For the car fans. Huge collection of vintage cars about to come up for auction. 280 in all! https://www.classiccar-auctions.com/palmen

made a loan on Kiva to help a bookstore in Nicragua purchase bookcases.
Kiva does microloans to people that may have trouble accessing traditional banks. eventually its paid back and you can relend the money to a new project!
WotC and Pinkertons
WotC confirmed that they sent the Pinkertons after a guy.

My thoughts on the inciting incident aside, I do not like that WotC involved the Pinkertons.
I believe this is finally where I can recognize that WotC went from a soulless anti-consumer corporation and firmly over the line into evil.

"But why are you still on Twitter?"
Listen. I am an internet ancient. I stood amidst LiveJournal as it crumbled while I watched the fall of Flickr. I was there both times Tumblr burned down, toasting marshmallows over its smouldering ruin, laughing at the folly of Verizon. The death of Twitter was foretold by the dark prophecies of the forgotten internets. I am there to witness its passing as the old internet is dying and the new internet struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.
A woman posted in a Facebook group that I am in that she is attaching her youngest child to the grocery cart with a carabiner, so nobody tries to kidnap her.
I pointed out that 90%+ of abductions are custody disputes and no one has ever stolen a child from a store in the US. It’s not how human trafficking works, and we should really be more concerned about things that are harming kids daily.
Within 5 minutes I was booted from the group.
She/They Ace deer. Art, queer stuff, Good Omens, furry. I own a rare bookstore. I love finding textbooks for people. Fuck that monopoly.
