@dansup Impressive and I love to see it, but please don't burn yourself out before January ends. Take a little time to relax and do something else.

@GossiTheDog I saw this too late and the post no longer exists on LinkedIn.

But I found this excerpt that seems to sum up what he wrote.

@dansup @pixelfed Congratulations! Hard work is paying off.

@Gargron Happy New Year, Eugen!

Although it's still four and a half hours away here. (But I'll probably be asleep.)

@sjvn Got mine for a seat on my couch to watch the NHL Winter Classic.

Just starting now. They did a moment of silence for Jimmy Carter and introduced the ASL interpreter by name before the national anthem and now I'm typing through tears.

@GreenFire Everybody is a free speech absolutist until they spend $44 billion and discover people still say nasty things about them on the social media platform they own.

@CorioPsicologia My account has been scraped and duplicated without my knowledge (until now) or permission (ever) by gleasonator dot dev.

I also have no idea what momostr.pink is and never gave it permission to duplicate my account information.

@Gargron Enjoy your much-deserved time off!

This was first posted in July, but as I've seen a campaign to encourage President Biden to take action on the Equal Rights Amendment on or before December 10, I thought it worth sharing again.

Please don't do this instead of the other actions. Do them all! (Or as much as you can.)

Equal means equal!

Waiting a century for over half of the U.S. population to attain constitutional equality is long enough. Please join me in telling Congress: not one more year! Affirm the Equal Rights Amendment today.

@Gargron Thank you! This is fun.

It's also useful. Not sure if this was an intentional choice on your part, but showing each person's top hashtag is helping me find people I want to follow.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released a proposal for public comment that would expand the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia by 22,000 acres. This proposal needs supportive public comments by Monday, December 9.

Twin Pines Minerals seeks permits to open an 8,000-acre strip mine on the Okefenokee’s eastern edge on Trail Ridge, a geological formation that holds back the waters of the Okefenokee.

Act now, during Native American Month, to tell Congress you support the Indian Buffalo Management Act to help Tribes restore culturally and ecologically significant #buffalo herds to their lands.

@lzg Today I grilled two cheeses in the same sandwich. Very important!

In the ongoing effort to rescue a few of my many old tweets*, I noticed this trending yesterday**.

Yeah, right... these men are prepared to run the world.

* I will call Twitter "X" when Musk acknowledges his trans daughter's new name and identity.***

** It may still be trending today. I haven't looked.

*** In other words, never.

@MastodonEngineering @whattherestimefor Welcome Shannon!

For my fellow New Yorkers who haven't voted yet...

I went this morning, expecting a line, and was pleasantly surprised to find only two people ahead of me. That may not be true at all polling places. I went at about 8:30, figuring the pre-work crowd would have been and gone, and I might have been correct.

Don't forget the Proposals on the other side!

@jeffowski Something similar could be said of many freedoms, such as free speech, which does not (or ought not) allow dangerous speech, incitement of violence, or libel.

In short, as a friend once said, your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of my nose.
