If you only use social media accounts to share terrible news stories about terrible people doing terrible things, you're missing out on a fantastic opportunity to finally be happy.

There's also a strong probability that you're shouting into the void because you've been blocked or muted.

Don't let the bad aspects of the world destroy your opportunity to be cheerful on #Mastodon for once.

Parents these days are pussies. When I was a kid, my parents had faith that the values they instilled in us were solid. It didn't matter if were reading Mein Kampf or Beatrix Potter, our value system would remain intact and would only grow stronger by exposure to other ideas.
