Hey folks! I'm looking for examples of elected officials and people running for office who have accounts on the fediverse.

Know of one? Please let me know! Boosts appreciated :boost_requested:

just started making everyone's accounts

*and purchases public by default

Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.

You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole.

Passwords and secret signs are crucial defenses. Craft good ones, and use them well. https://cromwell-intl.com/cybersecurity/basics/04-passwords.html?s=mc

This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

@RickiTarr I've got a few. They keep surfacing as my son asks questions. Here's one:
Below a certain size things don't have colors. Colored light has wave lengths and if you are too small to absorb or reflect it then you can't be "seen" in color in the traditional sense.

@Neat_hot @RickiTarr The beauty of movie magic. It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to make money.

@GossiTheDog So you're saying he's not a reliable source of information?!?!

I. Am not shocked.

TIL that SQLite is the most-deployed database in the world, the development team is only 3 people, and -- here's the kicker -- their code of ethics is based on Christianity???

@steve That. Is not a series of things I thought would be tied together.

@steve I'm not sure what to do with this. Its like when you find out the dominant system for data processing across all companies is Excel.

Hello @actuallyautistic friends! Thank you everyone who contributed to my meltdown article. My next article is about autistic shutdowns: what they look like, how we manage them, and affirming ways our loved ones can support us. You can comment and please include how I should refer to you in the article. You can also drop them on my contact form (resiliencymentalhealth.com/contact/) if you want to share but prefer not to post it on the internet connected to your account.

@dramypsyd @actuallyautistic I've personally found that when I'm upset, particularly during arguments, I still will loose the ability to speak. It's like my brain is racing through ideas I want to say, but I can't find ways to make it make sense. They all get stuck like a bunch of people trying to walk out the door at the same time. That loop just won't stop and gets worse the stronger I feel. It created issues in the past where my partner thought I was giving the silent treatment.

@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@dramypsyd @actuallyautistic Things that helped were communicating about what had happened and coming up with a strategy of finding something to say, even if it's "I don't have any words" so we know what's going on, and we can try to decompress and calm down.

Oh if you needed to refer to me by name Mike L is fine

There’s been an explosion in an office building containing a bank branch in downtown Youngstown in Ohio. There are casualties. https://www.wkbn.com/news/local-news/gas-explosion-in-youngstown-ohio/crews-respond-to-downtown-youngstown-for-report-of-explosion/

@ThatOneGuyT_T @w7voa It does. Several people were taken to the hospital. One is still missing. Also, there are apartments above the bank. Residents are currently without their homes or belongings because its not safe to enter the building.

I think I need to watch it another time (or two) but isn't vibing with me like it is for most others in my orbit

While it raises many questions that are intriguing and are fun to speculate about, I think there's one question that is bugging me to the point of getting in the way of my enjoyment of the episode

@forgottrek My understanding is the figure following Ruby was actually Old Ruby the whole time, but that the second time she managed to get the message to herself to stop.

What remains unexplained is what she was saying to literally everyone to make them refuse to interact with Ruby.

I'm just a man. Standing in front of literally every US bank. Begging them to offer something other than SMS for MFA...

@Bridgemakes Sigh I'm not surprised, just a little disappointed.
