Guys, please stop recommending Pixelfed as an Instagram substitute.

As it stands right now, it's a moderation disaster waiting to happen.

Maybe in time it'll be ready. But right now it isn't.

Please 🙏

How cool would it be if #Fediverse leaders didn't sell us out to Meta for personal gain? This would've been our moment.

With Meta and X outright embracing right wing ideology, and YouTube becoming increasingly saturated, progressive creators who found a haven on TikTok, now face the near impossible task of rebuilding their communities on platforms that are hostile to their content. Most will fail. https://www.usermag.co/p/the-great-creator-reset

This isn't a one-off. Fascism isn't an aberration, it's what an unchecked capitalistic system turns into, especially when reinforced by existing systems of oppression such as cisheteropatriarchy and white supremacy. The increased wealth disparity and isolation is a fertile breeding ground for conspiracy theories that blame the even more disadvantaged.

We need to fight this. Everywhere.

Dear Diary,

Today I got takeout from a taqueria and sat on the grass in my local park listening to jazz singers celebrate MLK day. Then I read half of the (paper) book that I am currently enjoying. After that, our little clubhouse put on a Prince-themed burlesque show and we made it Purple Rain.

If something else happened today, I'm sure I don't need to know, or maybe eventually I'll hear about it later.

Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

"unclear who would take over once the departure of the acting director, Paul Abbate, took effect at noon. His exit is unusual given that the acting director typically remains in place until a new director is confirmed by the Senate to ensure stability at the highest ranks of the bureau.

Mr. Abbate took command of the bureau on Sunday after Christopher A. Wray, the previous director, announced last month that he would step down before the inauguration." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/20/us/politics/paul-abbate-fbi-director.html

I sued the UK 2½ years ago for refusing to issue me a Gender Recognition Certificate to match my birth certificate, despite what the law clearly states.

My appeal hearing has now been confirmed for tomorrow at The Royal Court of Justice in London, court 63, "not before 10:30 am".
