Helping with my doggo's surgery is one of the best Cyber Monday donations you can contribute to if you're so inclined.
She goes under the knife a week from today (12/5).
Thanks to those who have donated and shared (please share on other platforms as well) and thanks in advance if you do donate as well. Karma says thank you.

Pretty excited that I spent most of my time on better socmedia platforms other than the BBQed Bird today. Learning pays off.

My feeds on 🦍 and 🐘 are now featuring almost all the people I followed there to make forward-thinking, progressive, FACT based medical decisions, plus new people I never would have had the pleasure of interacting with on the Bird.

Plus, CoSoMusic (not tagged because no music link here)....gosh, that tag is rad!

Stick with the better platforms, it pays!

Mary Walker was a suffragist, prohibitionist, war hero, and pioneering physician, but it was her preference for traditional male clothing that earned her the most notoriety. She was arrested on numerous occasions for wearing men’s clothing. Once when asked why she wore men’s clothes she answered, “I don’t wear men’s clothes. I wear MY clothes.”

Mary Edwards Walker was born on November 26, 1832, one hundred ninety years ago yesterday.

I wasn’t one to engage on twitter but man did it make my blood boil. I suppose that’s how they hook you. I’ll bet my blood pressure has gone down a few points since I started looking at it like 1x/ week.

11th Circuit Holds Trump Lawyers’ Feet to the Fire in Special Counsel’s First Courtroom Match-Up Over Fate of Mar-a-Lago Docs Review

Judge Pryor, however, remarked that the case appeared to be “indistinguishable from any other pre-indictment search warrant.”

Interrupting Trusty’s attempt to draw a distinction, Pryor said: “Your answer is: There is no difference.”

That anger you felt on Twitter? It was intentionally fomented by an algorithm to keep you clicking, emotionally manipulating you to sell more ads. It didn't stay there either. It seeped into your life, poisoning you and your interactions in ways you didn't realize.

There's none of that here. Give it a few days, and you'll see.

Trump is a weak man’s idea of a strong man.
Musk is a dumb man’s idea of an intelligent man.

Another insomniac morning - but not wasted. Interesting new folks to follow, a few chuckles, and plenty of interesting (often esoteric) news items But mostly, once again it's so nice to just see so many WONDERFUL HUMANS.

Platform not pushing influencers is really healthy for any social network.

I am pleasantly surprised that COSO is able to maintain independence with public funding.

I would tweet on a daily basis if I wasn't guaranteed to get dozens of hate comments on everything I post.

Having the "Freedom of Speech" to post hate comments just means that you have the power to make other people so uncomfortable that they don't want to speak at all.

Harassing people until they are silenced is the exact opposite of advocating for "Freedom of Speech."
