Don't freak out.

Why would someone with absolutely no social skills buy a social network site? It's like someone afraid to fly buying an ✈️.

Are you curious about the culture here? Here's a primer.

1. We don't care about like or follower counts. Just be yourself.
2. We can be political, but we aren't zealots. Mutual respect reigns supreme here.
3. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to community abuse. Trolls are dealt with immediately. :trollsplat:
4. We do not frown upon mutes or blocks. People are like flavors. You won't like them all and they won't all like you. Use the tools.

Just wanna thank all the folks who gave us shitty reviews in the app stores over the last two days while we were being subjected to a sustained DoS attack. Really appreciate it.

Our Japanese maples are beautiful year round, but in the fall...they own the place.

This was posted an hour ago. I apologize for not including the time and date.

But as of 7:40p CST 11.3.2022

Just want to acknowledge that @th3j35t3r has been dealing with a LOTof stuff here the past few days - DOS attacks AND a wave of new members with the Bird Site migration. I personally appreciate it and encourage everyone to be patient when these issues
arise.

PSA - Okay folks - we are currently under a sustained DoS attack - it's been happening on and off for 24 hours now.

I'm in the process of mitigating but expect wierdness - like sporadic downtime and inability to post until this attack is squashed.

Haven't been on here today since I was working early voting in my county. This is one way I help support our system of governance. It does make for a long tiring day. We did have good turn out though and that made me feel good. 3 more days of early voting then election day on Tuesday.

GovChrisSununu signed a law barring state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal firearms statutes.
It would technically prevent public school teachers from reporting a shooting to federal law enforcement. newhampshirebulletin.com/brief

I can tell our weather is changing again as my oldster fiddle (is approximately 115 years old) was sounding cranky this morning when I did my daily practice. Normally has a super sweet sound, but when the barometric pressure or humidity begins rapidly changing it lets me know about it! Pic is the peg box and scroll of this oldster.

If you are having issues posting, please be patient. We're extremely popular lately for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

If you haven’t yet heard Rachel Maddow’s you should listen.

It’s well done, interesting and timely.

I put my Bluetooth headphones on and get some boring jobs done for less than 40 min each episode.
