I love this platform. It’s helped replace my anxiety inducing news doom-scrolling with people sharing ideas, independent media / news, organizing tools, etc. It makes the apocalypse a little more tolerable.
We’re unable to complete a paragraph, edit a sentence, edit a post. Or write one page. I find social media platforms making hundreds of billions of dollars worthy of our second amendment. Infringing on our first. When social media is the present day social atmosphere/antisocial beings.
And that’s all I can say on that. Because I’m only allowed so many characters/letters. Truly an inept concept of making money off of taking people’s social ability away. No different than what the Europeans did to the indigenous free people. Removing their native tongue and way of life. For money.
I am too, except I’m feeling defeated and ragey and sad, and I don’t know how to channel this feeling for good or use it somehow to illicit change. I’m just one angry and frustrated Canadian and all I want is for my son to grow up in a good and just world. It hurts my heart. I hate this.
Imagine having all that power to only use it to inflict pain and suffering. We shouldn’t be tolerating this! We should be in the streets in droves. It’s utter madness. (Sorry for my rant - I’m really feeling it today). Sigh…
On the other side of the border and I feel exactly the same.
And sometimes it feels like I'm in a madhouse. People keep on doing their dailies, discussing weekend plans and TV shows as if there isn't a noose being lowered around them, as if we aren't now unwillingly parttaking in treason.
I know. It’s basically all I can think of. For my sanity, I have to force myself to step away and watch feel-good shows like Schitt’s Creek & Ted Lasso. Otherwise, I’d be further down the doom spiral than I already am 😵💫
Thanks for being aware & informed, & ready to do something! There are so many who have their heads in the sand. They’ll have a rude awakening when the shit hits the fan. But take some time to step away for your mental health. If I don’t force myself, I could spiral and rage all day. ✨
Just watched one of your videos comparing these apps. X/Twitter is unstable and bureaucratic these days, I lost my patience with it. I just created this account.
I mean I hate to be that guy but South Park did a whole episode on this. No matter how safe your space is there always going to be cracks and that's just something we're going to have to deal with
We are now petless. Kitty and two dogs gone . All old.
Kitten season soon to be upon us and I will be fostering two kittens.
My son lol at me when I said they were just fosters. Hmmm
I hope we can have a great conversation about this. I also have many wonderful memories with my cat, and I would love to share them with you. If you’re comfortable, I’d also enjoy hearing about your special memories with your cat. 😀
I have never had an account on any other social media including FB, Instagram etc. I did however lurk! The best way, imo, is to block and double check anything that seems too good or too bad.I miss reading my morning newspaper sniff 😢
I deleted my Twitter awhile ago now, but saw some screenshots of tweets and replies regarding Congresswoman McBride. It is literally the ninth circle of hell. Full of the worst of the worst. I hope a lot of what I saw were bots / trolls. But jfc what an awful place to be
Is it from Nancy Mace? I know she has been so messed up to her. Also I don't know how she achieved this but she is weaponizing her trauma. I wish no harm to anyone. Her story is hers to say. But I don't think trauma is an excuse to spread hate for a group of people she knows nothing about.
Before finding Bluesky (@rachelmaddow) I was about to give up finding my peeps. It was too tiresome sifting thru the world of deceivers and boy, do they believe themselves! GRATEFUL, too!
Yes…please more blue sky where someone isn’t constantly posting bullshit about them and how to brainwash and making sure to control something that isn’t shinny
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
Almost everything I say is censored on Twitter. Twitter's purchase and mismanagement would be taught in Branding and company Management books for decades as one of the worst examples. And now, Trump is destroying US dollar, like his supported destroyed Twitter.
The 2 in the front are litter mates and revert to puppy mix de when I bring her over. The one in the back is younger and has strong little brother energy so he’s happy to have a second dog in the house to bug.
