Ahhh, long weekend.

Eventually, though, the fascists will have worked their way through everyone between you and them and then maybe the threat will be apparent?

You'll have a lot less allies by then, though, because the fascists will have killed and imprisoned the rest of us.

So, you know, by all means, take your sweet fucking time figuring it out.

@AlliFlowers @Ronnie @inkeduprunner I just wish Apple could make them out of something that scuffs more and picks up more stains. 😉

Wow, this is scary. Avian flu jumping to mammals and in least one case a human. Get ready.

Faith schools are divisive and exclusive. How will children learn to live together and understand each other if they are segregated? Families who wish their children to have a religious education can arrange for this out of school hours; it should not be the criterion on which admission is secured.

#FediTips : When someone follows you with an empty profile and no avatar, if they're on another instance and they've signed up very recently, it's likely that their profile information just hasn't federated to your instance yet. Click the three dots next to 'Follow' on their profile, and click 'open original page', then you can see if you're *really* getting follows from empty profiles. :)

Wow. WaPo digs into why the South has the lowest credit scores in the country (adding to individual consumers' borrowing costs, freezing then out of credit at all). The answer: Medical debt. Because the South didn't expand Medicaid.

@annaleen Trans rights are a reliable miner's canary for human rights: if they're attacked, the invisible toxic cloud is coming for everyone else very soon. (They're not the only signal that human rights are under attack, but they're a very sensitive one and I've never heard of a major anti-rights offensive that didn't attack trans people as well as whoever the ostensible target was.) So: solidarity!

(Also I have trans friends, some of them going back 40 years, and they don't need that shit.)
