Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! 😊

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

Here's the next step in the Republican plan to make it illegal to be transgender. Texas Governor Greg Abbot wants to ban transgender people from being teachers. What profession will he want to ban us from next? When will he want to ban us from appearing in public places?

I've been getting my house cleaned up and tommorrow I'm calling a realtor so I can sell my house and get out of this repressive state.

Had a long ass chat with my gramma last nite. She said ' Jaden you will never find happiness because all you do is plan for the next thing, always looking for something new and better. Just sit back and enjoy what you got'.
Think she may have a point??????

Here's an actual mainstream media article about all the attacks on the transgender community. I wish more people were aware of what is going on, but we are just such a small minority that it's hard to get anyone in the mainstream press to pay attention to us unless they are attacking us.

This is an excellent guide to writing in plain English.

https://evolvingweb.com/blog/plain-language-guide-how-write-inclusive-digital-content-2024

"49% of adults in Canada have below high-school literacy levels, and 17% are unable to follow written instructions or read maps."

"Half adults in the U.S. struggle to read a book written for eighth-graders."

If your first instinct is 'why are people ‘dumb’?’ you are elitist and not inclusive. There are plenty of immigrants and others. As web professionals it should be your job to include everyone

How do you become a billionaire? Inherit a lot of money. The self made billionaire is mostly a myth.

I’m in the middle of listening to a call-in radio show from the mid-1960s. (I can’t yet reveal more specifics.)

Let me reassure anyone who worries about today’s state of discourse that interpersonal attacks, topic-hijacking, and political and personality partisanship are not new phenomena.

At least the host and guest are doing an admirable job eventually steering the discussion back into focus. It’s hard for me to sit through, though.

Correlation may not imply causation but it can still smack people down pretty hard.

"Hundreds of riders trying to flee a recent subway shooting were forced to exit one at a time, the emergency door locked — an effort to deter against fare evasion.

Critics of measures taken to deter fare evasion warned of a scenario exactly like this."

We Are 15 Million

As the network is decentralized, counting these numbers will always be inaccurate and other counting methods yield different results, but this is still something to celebrate.

As of 13:12 (GMT+1) on the 18th of March 2024, Mastodon now has 15 million user accounts.

15.000.000 people, bots, collaboratives, newspapers, coops, movements!

I believe in the ability of this network to steadily grow, but never explode in size to subsequently burst like a bubble. I believe in this approach of social networking and that it is the more human-oriented, non-commercial approach we need in order to fix our societal, personal, and political divide.

We are here because we disagree with our data being harvested in order for our “free” communication platforms to be maintained. We disagree with locking users into an ecosystem and removing our ability to choose which platform to call ours.

We are here because we disagree with profit-driven social networks entirely.

We will not leave nor settle for anything less.

Thank you, Mastodon! :mastodon: Thank you, Fediverse! :fediverse:

JK Rowling is moving into Holocaust denial now, and also saying that doctors providing gender affirming care, and transgender advocates should be jailed.

Enough is enough. Time to cancel this piece of shit permanently. Refuse to support her in any way financially. Don't buy anything associated with her. Keep your Harry Pottter books if you already have them, but refuse to give her any more money. Let her rot.
