@jann I was mostly aiming at pronouns. And unlike French or German, inanimate objects don’t have gender.
@johnettesnuggs I sleep so soundly when it thunders! But the tornado just came out of nowhere. No thunder, no rain, just suddenly I was awake and realized what it was. @kbeninato
@johnettesnuggs Ten years ago, my mother was visiting when we got hit by a tornado. She never noticed. Just slept through the whole thing (including our roof being destroyed for the 2nd time). I agree with you completely! @kbeninato
One of the things I appreciate most about using ASL is that it is genderless.

President Truman began a policy known as the "Fairness Doctrine" which compelled radio & TV talk shows to give equal airtime to opposing opinions whenever political views were aired. Reagan ended that doctrine & facilitated the "Fox Propaganda Network" to brainwash the citizenry!
@johnettesnuggs I’m more of a chocoholic. We typically buy chips and chocolate heading into a big one, but they always get eaten long before the rain starts. @kbeninato

Young people: The GOP is floating an amendment to raise the voting age from 18 to 25. Vivek Ramaswamy is openly promoting it. They’re scared of your votes and want to silence you. Act appropriately in 2024.
@kbeninato I thought that was the rule. @johnettesnuggs

Has it been long enough since the last mass shooting to talk about what we can do about mass shootings without accusations of "being political"?

Would you be here if you didn’t have good #internet access? High-speed internet is no longer a luxury but an “absolute necessity.” Pres #Biden has pledged that every household in the nation would have access by 2030 using cables made in the U.S.
“These investments will help all Americans,” he said. “We’re not going to leave anyone behind.”
#Democrats make things better with #IRA.

@GW@newsie.social If he was truly omnipotent and he needs you that way, shouldn’t he be able to make you that way?

Teacher Is Fired for Reading Book on Gender Identity in Class. The teacher in Georgia was fired for reading to fifth graders “My Shadow Is Purple,” which is about a child who cannot relate to the colors blue and pink.

message to all reverse engineers and hackers of fedi: when youre figuring out some really obscure thing and you finally crack it PLEASE document it somewhere on the web. maybe youre the first to ever walk this path, maybe youre the first person to care. but i promise you are not the last, and there will be a day when some lone hacker follows the path you took years or decades ago and they will find what you wrote and they will be eternally grateful and wont forget it ever. and thats so beautiful
@Gigi@kolektiva.social WTF?! @StillIRise1963

According to the NOAA, the United States has seen more billion-dollar disasters in the first seven months of 2023 than in any year on record. The 15 disasters include 13 severe weather events, one winter storm, and one flooding event that have caused 113 fatalities and nearly $40 billion in damages. #BillionDollarDisasters #ClimateChange #NOAA https://scrippsnews.com/stories/us-hit-by-a-record-number-of-billion-dollar-disasters-so-far-this-year/
@dcjohnson We would actually have to go to Twitter to do that. Most of us here don’t do that.
