California fires
The Nuns, Atlas, and Tubbs fires alone have burned over 120,000 acres of land and killed at least 22 people. FEMA is deploying. We're receiving aid from fucking Australia.
My home is still safe, but many others are *completely obliterated.*
If you can spare any cash, please consider donating to a charity in the affected area. This one is run by my credit union, and they're everything a financial institution should be. https://www.redwoodcu.org/northbayfirerelief

I still can't quite wrap my head around the fact that there is an appreciable number of people around the world who're "on the fence" about whether or not to support neo-nazis
(Context- thing I said earlier: "That ex-neo-nazi's story is important because it might help convince people on the fence")
nazis (+ i guess, it still focuses on a nazi)
@vahnj "it’s not until it’s directed at you that you suddenly realise that what you’re doing is wrong.”
well no some of us realize it's wrong because WE HAVE EMPATHY AND INTELLIGENCE. aqoi4rjq;oirjv;awoirjgq;oijreg;vaiojf;goiaqj;regijwer;ogija;foigjw;eirtjg;weojrg;sodijvg;saiorjt;woi4j5yt

hey masto, is there a general sense of ethics/community standards about making accounts that mirror/crosspost birdsite accounts that you don't own? like basically there are a few birdsite accounts i enjoy seeing but i don't want to keep checking birdsite for them. is it a thing to ask for permission to set up such a thing? does it get complicated if it's an agency/organization run feed instead of an individual?
have other people done this?
the crows have me trained... they also have me trained to put out peanuts on the porch railing when they come by, though that behavior's been interrupted lately with the seasonal territorial disputes.
@mawr oooh, yay! (forcibly refrains self from burbling about local birds) if you have a place and an interest in setting up a birdfeeder, I'd be happy to give advice and point you in the direction of an excellent local store. ;)
@mawr they do it on the porch railing sometimes, and the cats and I all go "!!!!????!!!" until I realize/remember what it was...
@mawr was it a flicker? they do "territorial drumming," which makes a really loud noise to show off how awesome they are, and they deliberately pick the noisiest things they can hit--windows, sheet metal--empty metal garbage cans are favorite, great resonance. XD

Send some blessings to Hawaii today!
Yet again, a Hawaiian federal judge has blocked the current Republican Administration's attempts at establishing racist travel bans. ♥️♥️♥️

Acquired as a military foothold in the pacific, monetized as the US sponsored vacation destination, and now maturing as the judicial front line in the fight against legislative racism. Who could have guessed? :D

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @zebratron2084 emotions aren't terribly good at responding properly to logic, imo. :]

@zebratron2084 nostalgia these days just isn't what it used to be...
