Oh look, I've been ignoring a plentiful, edible food source in my garden! 🤔 "Land Shrimp!"

Although.... 😱

"Let’s stick with Pillbugs for two good reasons. Those are the only ones that roll themselves into a ball, and they are the most edible of the lineup... "

@maddad @hosford42 @sandlapper37 Shatner has proven to be a cantankerous, unrelenting, old fart. I followed him on Xitter in the before times & watched the entire situation unfold in real time. He loves to argue & instigate. The autistic community tried to teach him truths about the charity he was contributing to. He wouldn’t listen & was very assholey about it. He treated them like they should be grateful he was donating to their cause. I had to block him. Takei is 🥰

A leading psychologist who advises #Meta on suicide prevention and self-harm has quit her role, accusing the tech giant of “turning a blind eye” to harmful content on #Instagram, repeatedly ignoring expert advice and prioritising profit over lives.

@GottaLaff My teen is always telling me I need to reinstall it. It’s how she & her friends communicate. 🤦‍♀️ But I just cannot bear it. It is so obviously promoting hate & chaos. I followed a lot of disability/medical accounts. Almost every time I would post a positive comment of support, it would immediately get flagged as spam & removed. I would send review requests & feedback comments, but they were never looked at. The racist, nazi, violent threats were okay though. 🤢 nope!

To those who say "capitalism doesn't force people to do anything. They have free will", if someone put a gun to the head of someone, would that not be a use of force? And how would you feel if the gunman said "I'm not forcing you to do anything. You have the freewill not to give me your money." But if you don't then you'll die, just like the worker will die if they don't do what the capitalist says.

@jlou @DEDGirl @Radical_EgoCom America is so capitalistic Nestle has claimed the water rights in CA & stolen millions of gallons. A lot of our citizens are delusional enough to think that’s making America great again. We have groomed people to think they too can be a millionaire by hitting oil in their backyard, or bottling air like in the Lorax. Hopefully they won’t matter & we’ll just have to laugh at them whinging about it.

@Radical_EgoCom I think UBI will be a really hard sell because Americans are conditioned to despise government aid. You should have heard my home nurses arguments about why I don’t deserve care because I’m disabled & on Medicaid & that’s a socialism & it’s my fault. It’s deranged.

DEDGirl,
@DEDGirl@mastodon.world avatar

@Radical_EgoCom Many don’t want poor, disabled, poc, immigrants, even if they work, to have access to any services or aid. And they treat you as such. I think a lot of Americans don’t realize how truly internally racist & misogynist their fellow citizens really are. Trump is exposing a lot of that. I think a lot of Americans don’t know how racist, misogynist, & capitalized they are themselves. Americans, maybe just western colonizers, struggle with self awareness & accountability

DEDGirl,
@DEDGirl@mastodon.world avatar

@Radical_EgoCom Also the social destitution the propaganda of capitalism has instilled in most citizens. Americans’ human worth is tied, entirely, to their work. Healthcare, retirement, disability, housing, food, everything. If you are disabled, stay at home parent, laid off, retired, your fellow citizens treat you like you are expendable & worthless. As we see with the decisions around Covid.

    @DrALJONES here’s my ?… The ICJ has already scolded Israel & Netanyahu laughed & continued, there’s an arrest warrant for Putin, but Russias still controlling the UN Security Council. So 🤷‍♀️ If none of the consequences have to be complied with, what’s the point. It’s just exposing the concerned countries to be bullied & targeted.

    Real world examples:

    1. Local government updates (like public transit, weather, mayors office, etc.)

    2. Severe weather updates. In my area we have an extensive twitter network of volunteers who monitor tornadoes and severe weather by county. Some are working to get off twitter on to their own website, but it’s not easy or instant. These are actually life saving.

    Via Andrew Weissmann:

    My guess: may have someone like co-signing Chubb bond, so the bank is comfortable being on the hook for the judgment. Same could happen for the bond for AG $450M judgment. & this strategy wd allow co-signor to say truthfully that they did not give or loan Trump any $

    Joyce Vance:

    This=important pt. Trump is beholden to someone & we don't know who. Reporters shd ask him to explain all of the details. GOP leaders shd, but probably won't be esp concerned.

    @GottaLaff most of the replies are “Meh. No surprise. 😒” So we’re just a fascist shit hole now. That’s it? Nobody’s going to do anything about it. 🤷‍♀️ All the people who do care about democracy can’t do anything? So where are all these safe guards & checks/balances? Ohhhh, it’s always been like this? Are we great yet?

    It's shameful that public health institutions are fixated on weakening guidelines for people who are ignoring the pandemic, while doing nothing to meaningfully address one of the most important public health problems today: Higher risk people being excluded from society.

    DEDGirl,
    @DEDGirl@mastodon.world avatar

    @luckytran Yep. And the health care system is in shambles. 😔 I’m on Medicaid in CA. I’m a disabled single mom with a complicated, fully systemic genetic condition, & on IV immunosuppressants. I haven’t had a Primary Care doctor since October!! I call every month. Nobody will help me. No supervisors will return my calls. I’m becoming more crippled & losing more function by the day. My kid knows who to sue when the state finally kills me. 👀 Any pro bono attorneys around?!?

    One skill I've learned in the pandemic is biting my tongue.

    Yesterday, I ran into an old friend. I worked with her husband 20 years ago. I asked how he was.

    “He's been sick for ten days, but we're going to a concert tonight.”

    🙄 😡 🙊 🤬

    I long ago learned I would not hold my tongue when speaking to many about COVID risks, but trying to be helpful with unsolicited advice to individuals is always treated with hostility. I don't go to concerts because people like this do.

    DEDGirl,
    @DEDGirl@mastodon.world avatar

    @augieray It’s not a great indicator for the future that we’re facilitating the selfish people being the only ones who can participate in outings & society & we’re making responsible people stay isolated. 😵‍💫

    @YakyuNightOwl @DEDGirl @StillIRise1963 @Originallyrose My comment was that the youth around me are planning their careers around leaving the US, because our govmnt is screwing them. I was told black people cant leave because of racism. I put a map of places less racist than the US. Now I’m an offensive racist that can’t be bothered with. 🤷‍♀️ Okay. Well, they aren’t the ones planning to leave then I guess. I don’t ask my kid what races her classmates are that she tells me about.

    @StillIRise1963 @DEDGirl @YakyuNightOwl @Originallyrose Yeah, sure. I’ve been a supporter & reposter for black Mastadon since I started here. But banish me off as an offensive racist, because… I think young people can emigrate. 💪 solidarity!

    @DEDGirl@mastodon.world avatar

    @StillIRise1963 @DEDGirl @YakyuNightOwl @Originallyrose This is just so bizarre. “What I did” “carry on with your racism”?? It is in no way an attack on black people to say our youth are emigrating. What? Like, is this for real? What?!?
