@Thumprhare I agree, many are in denial. But we'll need a hell of a lot more people to wake up, if we're to avoid the loss of our democracy. It seems to me we're a lot closer to losing it than many people think.

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I think all of my democratically-minded friends who think that voting alone can save this country from the hostile fascist takeover attempt we're still facing, are tragically mistaken. When our opponents no longer play by the rules at all (let alone the law), I think far more radical actions will be required. Not saying I know what it will take, but who's with me on this?

@BIFC67 btw, love the Billy Idol reference.

@poindexter I didn't have as bad a time on Twitter as on Facebook, where I was constantly ending up in Facebook jail whenever I pushed back against Fascist trolls spewing racist garbage, but on Twitter, I barely got any interaction, like everyone was just there to hear themselves talk. When Elon Musk decided to buy it to turn it into a (fascist) "free speech" zone, that was the last straw. Abuse is what fascists define as "free speech."

@mcfate "tell some of the trolls who've been running us down over there." Sorry, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to Twitter. Now, if only I could get my friends and family to leave Fascistbook....

I'm amazed not only how positive this platform is, but how immediately response people are, every time I interact here. I wish I'd quit Twitter a long time ago...

@evistre yes, my family did find just the right medicine for their cancer. Sadly, of the two my nephew has since passed away from pancreatic cancer, but I can say without reservation that cannabis allowed him to suffer far less, and have a lot more good days than he would otherwise have had, during the time he had left.

@Elliej420 " I've got some Ray Charles..." I'd never heard of that strain, but looking up the strain parentage (Romulan x Afghani Bullrider), I'd expect it to be especially effective for people looking for help falling asleep. I'd try to find some, but Leafly suggests it's not available at any of the dispensaries in my area.

@evistre I love my work. But if you'd told me 5 years ago that I'd be working in the cannabis industry, I'd have laughed. What changed everything were 2 family members, both of whom have rare, incurable cancers, and for whom cannabis was the ONLY medicine that could give them any quality of life, and... without any of the bad side effects pharmaceuticals are known for Since I began to research the current medical science on cannabis, I knew this was something I wanted to contribute to.

Good night all, I've got some purple hindu kush waiting for me!

@PaganMother as it turns out, using the mobile app fixed all that, so it's good now. I have to get to bed, but before I go, have got to follow you. Paganism is cool, I am an occultist.

Well, just as I expected…. as soon as I installed and opened the mobile app, the three dots showed up, and overall it’s more functional. Thanks for your patience and advice. But as it’s now 1:00 am here, it’s time for me to load a bowl and smoke up, then get to bed. My job at the cannabis farm where I work comes really early in the morning.

@PaganMother I see what looks like a screenshot from you, that shows the three dots, but that's still nowhere in my feed. Not sure why, perhaps it's the Edge browser I"m using.

@kathrynresister as far as I'm concerned, if Musk ends up running it like he says he wants to, the fascists will run amok abusing decent people, and it will be much worse than it already is. As soon as Twitter accepted his offer, I deleted my account.

@dz it seems the problem is that I just signed in using my laptop rather than a mobile app. This way, the things you're telling me to look for, are literally nowhere to be found. Perhaps the mobile app is the only way to access those features. I'm downloading it now.

@PaganMother well, perhaps the three dots you speak of will show up once I get the mobile app. From my desktop, I see nothing like that anywhere.

@ContentWarningVirusB42 "click the three dots." Well, I see no three dots anywhere. Perhaps that's because I'm not using the mobile app. I'll try to download it now, to see whether it makes things any easier.

@dz @realDDGlover thanks for the user guide, but as for seeing tips on your profile, your profile is invisible to me, I suppose because I'm not a pro user.

@HappyThoughts I may go pro at some point... when I can afford it, that is...

Man, it's gonna take time figuring this platform out. Half the time, I can't even find my way back to my own profile, and I see no way to delete posts.
