> As crisis after crisis has continued to hit—from the epidemic of police violence and torture in prisons, to the increasing frequency of climate crisis-fueled natural disasters, to intensifying attacks on queer and trans people, immigrants, and just about everyone who doesn’t look or think like Mitch McConnell—mutual aid networks have been there to cushion the blow, and provide care for those who the system would rather see crushed.

@taylormccue I think you should do what you think is best for you 💜 If social media is a lot to deal with, how about a blog? That way people can subscribe with RSS to keep up with your updates without also inundating you with their own posts. I think some blogs even let you follow via ActivityPub so functionally it would be like following you on Mastodon

Hey uhhhh heads up about @itchio being down right now

@wrench It sucks a lot 😭 Good reminder I guess to always have a backup option for if/when itch goes down...

Wow, who could have guessed that treating a far deadlier virus than influenza*, as if it were "just the flu," would have led to this

*influenza already being a deadly disease that people treat like "just a cold"

Japan COVID deaths 14 times that of flu after guidelines lifted

Do Canadians really say "eh" all the time? Because I say "eh" all the time IRL, and so does everyone I know back home haha

(Please don't yell at me Canadians I barely know anything about how US mainlanders talk let alone non-USians)

I am very slow at replying to people and this is why

Sorry for the Twitter link but wanted to spread this info on Fedi: Terry Brash stole kindanice's game Dire Decks and is brazenly reselling it on Steam as Wildcard. Please report Wildcard on Steam if you can

> "Officers around me including my immediate superior often said things like, 'People with Black roots, Southeast Asians and so on study ways to kill people. So use your service revolver if you have to! You have no idea what they're going to do.'" Similarly, it was said within the force that officers "'have to be careful patrolling'" in an area with many Korean residents "'because there's no telling what they'll do.'"

Hi please don't tag me in to conversations you are having with your friends, seeing lots of notifications stresses me out and especially if it's between people I don't know and am not following, thank you for understanding

I appreciate the intent to credit me for the link but after that please untag me from replies, I do not need to see all of this in my notifications

I am sorry for calling out this exchange in particular, it's just that this is not the first time this has happened to me this week alone

I am honestly tired of the way Mastodon users treat people on here like faceless sources of content, please consider that this is a major source of stress for some folks (me), thank you for understanding
