@Florence We don't normally cry. This made us sob. So heartbreaking but powerful when seeing, for the first time, a law enforcement official stating our pronouns. Set the example....

And suddenly.... @StonedElf and @Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty felt a vibe in the force... as if 45,000 souls suddenly Passed the Dutchie on the Left Hand Side #Cannabis #Oregon #pardons

Authorities are currently reading the victims, following with their pronouns, and we are crying.

We were afraid that the exodus from the bird platform would cause donations to drop and it did. We are almost out of dog food. Thanks to some monetary donations, and a generous donation of Beyond, we’ve been able to squeak by again but the food stores are almost depleted. If you can please donate. If you can’t please share. All our wish lists are here:

Perhaps, tho remember that replies are not in the hose by default, and you can remove them from the My friends column. Then only if you view the conversation or are /@ed will you see them.

@Florence @researchbuzz

@Florence oh, that. i don't get. just a user name & send? that seems silly. what are you trying to convey then? i have sent just emojis but that's still in reply to something & it's an emoji which should speak for itself. but never a blank post.

so i'm afraid i have no idea on that one!

@Florence @FernLovebond @researchbuzz

<wistfully> it would also be wonderful if carefully added hashtags 'persisted' and were picked up in the replies by default. Would keep things organized...

I need to find a good CSS class. I love JavaScript but CSS I haven't gotten my fingers around it yet.

But you're right, the more the filtering experience is in the hands of the end user the better. You shouldn't have to rely on the energy of others to have a positive, fulfilling interaction online.

@Florence @researchbuzz

Since getting people to actually use tags is often herding cats–stray cats, really, because new ones will wander in often (you have no idea how often I’ve repeated a “please use #-PuzzleScore” message)–I wonder if we could devise a CSS filtering option? Something like

.status:has(a[href*=“.social/@”]:nth-child(5)) {
display: none;
}

so that a post w/ 5 (or more) links to a .social/@ target (usernames), it hides the post.

But asking for # is good, too.

@CajunBlueAZ1 We've been watching one school event after another get canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances."

It's so weird that pretending it doesn't exist hasn't made it go away...

HELL YES—Eli Lilly CEO now admit the #insulin tweet flap “probably” signals they need to bring down cost. Twitter trolling is working. As I reported—
@LillyPad
execs went into full raging panic when the “free insulin” fake tweet went out. Keep pressure on!

Just a reminder for the #LGBTQIA who may feel a bit discouraged today across this nation these same fascists call "free" - We see you. We love you. We will continue to exist. Blessed be. 🧙‍♂️

Are you noticing glitches, errors, or slowness? It's 100% due to our sudden, utterly inexplicable rise in popularity. We have no idea why. It is a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, ensconced in an enigma, mired in a malevolent billionaire's hubris. #CoSoTips
