@LlamaMountainStudioArts @th3j35t3r Yes, #Musk doesn't allow new tweets or profile updates with links to #Mastadon or #CoSo. It looks as if he is afraid that more and more people will leave #Twitter for better alternatives not controlled by him.

Unfortunately, I live in an area infested with a lot of hate.
I'm talking an overabundance of III%ers, Klansmen, Confederate flags, and BOYS who have NO reason to be "proud".
With regards to that flag though, it puzzles me that they almost always fly the battle flag instead of the Stars & Bars.
Sure, both say "I'm racist", but the battle flag mainly suggests "I'm alright with the idea of killing anyone who may disagree with my racism, because i'm so militant about it.".

Like it or not, there must be limits to our freedoms. Hate speech and defamation are not free speech. Using a gun to threaten and harm is not the right to bear arms.

In a society with unfettered "freedoms," the only free people will be the cruelest and most violent among us.

I'm a nurse who works in a shelter for COVID+ homeless people.
And we are full, we are overflowing, because there's another COVID wave happening.

You really don't want to get it. You will likely survive now, but we have scary data about long term effects which we're still learning about.
I'm 5 times vaxxed, wear a mask in public, and wash my hands when I can't socially distance, and so far I haven't got it. In spite of my job.
It can be done. Please protect yourself. Get vaxxed, wear a mask.
