I've come to regard my gender as one of the least interesting possible things about me (or anyone) and it's such a shame that our entire culture's obsession with it means some of us have to experience a lot of abuse just for having a gender that some folks don't like.

My husband (@dragondaddy here on Masto) works with Azadi #Kenya, a survivor-led NGO that supports survivors of human trafficking.

Many of their members have been hit hard by the flooding in #Nairobi - and are left without housing, food, mattresses, clean water, etc.

They've started a #mutualaid fund and you can support them here:

It's not a choice between protesting and participating in democracy. In our system, organizing and protest are meant to be part of how we participate.

It's a measure of the right's success in shifting the Overton window that Johnson will probably survive MTG's motion with the help of Democrat support.

A few years ago he woulda been too extremist to get bipartisan support. Today, he's "the reasonable one" to a congress and electorate exhausted by congressional chaos.

I get the political calculus that puts them there in this moment, but if we feel tempted to crow when MTG loses, remember that this whole show represents a win for the right.

Never in the history of ever has the phrase "quell student protests" indicated a growing societal reverence for democracy and civil rights.

Last week I spent a lovely afternoon chatting with queer State University students about Indiana's anti- policies with my friend and battle-buddy Emma (of GenderNexus fame) at their annual Lavender Conference.

Our differences matter. The places where we could be better matter. But overall if I could make us all better at one thing it would be in recognizing people of good will even when they aren't in the same place as us in their judgements.

A group is placing billboards calling for Indiana Democrats to vote for the moderate Republicans in this May's election to weaken the MAGA grip on the party.

Is this the way in a state heavily gerrymandered to favor the GOP?

thekitmalone,
@thekitmalone@hoosier.social avatar

@KrissyKat Lotta people do it! Don't do it if you ever plan on running for office, though -- pulling a GOP primary ticket could complicate your candidacy!

We've got a few! I'm a big fan of Sen. Alting (Lafayette). He's a real nice man who genuinely votes his conscious and has been a staunch LGBTQ ally in the senate.

@thekitmalone Hi there. I’m a Hoosier looking for a new server on Mastodon. One of my concerns is federating with other services like Threads. Can you tell me:

  1. Does Hoosier.social federate with Threads?

  2. Does Hoosier.social have any plans for federating with future proprietary services in the Fediverse (like maybe BlueSky someday)?

  3. Do you federate with Mastodon.social? Your “About” page makes me think you might not.

Thanks!

thekitmalone,
@thekitmalone@hoosier.social avatar

@DazeEnd Hey friend! We'd love to welcome you to our community.

We're not committed to any particular approach on federation. We don't preemptively block, other than the Level 0 blocklist (overt spam and abuse).

Should any particular service or instance become a problem, source of harassment or spam, or harms our users experience, we'll evaluate them on a case by case basis as we would with any other instance.

thekitmalone,
@thekitmalone@hoosier.social avatar

@DazeEnd

You can find the list of currently blocked instances on our about page! But we def don't currently block Mastodon.Social or Threads.net

Masto is looking more and more like the place to be for instant updates about current events ... like the heyday of the birdsite.

The fediverse fixes a lot of things that I hate about legacy social media but the culture of quibbling/correcting is like 1000x worse than it ever was anywhere else.

My wife, @thekitmalone has been on a kitchen science experiment kick that involves perfecting bread and muffin recipes and let me tell you how I am just suffering (to fit in my pants).

So then she started making whole grain muffins because—MY PANTS.

I love this woman and the muffins she makes. 🔥👩🏼‍🍳😋🫃🏻😆

@dragondaddy I see you are online talking about my muffins again

I'm honestly relieved that the right has largely stopped pretending that their objections to people have anything to do with public policy or safety concerns or anything else and that it really is just that they hate us and don't want to see us anywhere.
