I'm trying to be as measured as I can about this.

I don't know if this is legitimate and maybe someone here can help me verify it.

Lately, I have been receiving one-off mentions about people asking for help buying diabetes medication.

Some of them have been posting as if they are coming from Gaza.

As a diabetic who posts about Gaza a lot, I find it odd that this is happening.

Especially when the accounts are posting anything else and were created the day before.

@renedario Because that introduces politics into a conversation that they aren't willing or ready to have.

It's almost as if they actually acknowledge how shitty all of this is, it'll all fall apart and they wouldn't be able to justify their jobs anymore because it's centered around this system.

Naw, I'm good!

I want fast speeds, not fascist speeds!

One thing that makes me super uncomfortable is a line forming behind me.

It happens quite often when I'm making my salad for lunch.

While those folks aren't doing anything but waiting, I just feel immense pressure to finish what I'm doing.

It fucking sucks!

I refuse to believe that anybody making USB-C cables can't just make data and power cables.

I'm tired of grabbing a random cable only for it to only be power-only!

When did DigitalOcean remove their Mastodon Marketplace deployment?

This is yet another reminder to stop wishing harm on your fellow workers.

The powers at be are banking on us not having class solidarity and allowing our suffering to continue.

It is the system that has enabled people to feel the way they feel.

Remember, this is learned behavior that people picked up when legitimate fears were exploited by the ruling class to divide us.

I'm not saying tolerate hatred, but stop wishing ill will towards people who can't change your material conditions.

I really hope this #AI thing is true.

I just really want to see the Chinese beat the US at their own game.

It really sucks that the content that I would like to follow doesn't put out anything on #ActivityPub or any other decentralized platform.

I get reaching the masses but some people have left or want to leave these corporate platforms.

Honestly, Ive lost all desire to be anywhere but here now.

@evan I mean, it could also just be the fact that people don't want to support the company openly supporting fascism.

But that's just me.

@thekitmalone I use it with folks occasionally. I'd like to use it more.

Yesterday, I went to a flea market.

I walked past this particular market where the guy was selling a lot of MAGA paraphernalia.

You wouldn't have noticed it by briefly looking, but he was also selling some socialist and communist posters and books.

His whole stall was just a constant whiplash of left and right.

Meta just can't help but continue stepping in shit.

But, then again, we're still talking about them.

I can't believe we are still in a pandemic and people still come into work with the most wet coughs I've ever heard!

Dude, you work in IT and can work from home.

Keep that shit there!

For fuck's sake!

Downloaded #Apple's #iOS game of the year, #AFKJourney Wednesday.

Played it for a bit then realized it wasn't for me.

Today, I noticed my iPhone battery draining fairly quickly.

Apparently, AFK Journey is constantly running in the background!

Yeah, I didn't need that game in my life...

When I started my new job, I made it a point to not put my personal device anywhere near any work data.

I just don't trust corporations like that anymore.

@seachanger I saw a video from them saying that Democrats need to abandon progressive politics.

Now they're saying the quiet part out loud.
