IWW Workers at Voodoo Doughnuts March on Boss in Portland; Issue Demands https://itsgoingdown.org/voodoo-doughnut-workers-portland-iww/ #IWW #VoodooDoughnuts

@fineblackink @fasnix I guess so!

@Paullima Thanks! Will do!

@Allyson Ha! Yes! Including R.E.M. right? Hehe.

And another thing: there was no "cost of living crisis." Energy companies are rolling in dough. Little state sweeteners of a few hundred quid are a small price to pay for their politician pals to make it seem like an accident when in fact it's the new normal now. These prices are never coming down. They're not. Stop hoping. These capitalists intend to bleed people dry. They know nothing else. Recognise them for what they are: thieves and murderers. They can flick a pen to make policies all they like. Might as well be swords.

@djabmaroon Yeah, true. Though can't seem to even tag them! Haha.

So wait, let me get this right. Creatures have been roaming the planet for millions of years, thousands of years ago humans come along, and around three hundred years ago capitalism kicks in with its "endless growth" and "endless extraction" bullshit and already the planet is wrecked, there's climate chaos, and we're experiencing our hottest years ever and people are getting burns from touching the fucking pavement, and the capitalist class and their spokespeople in power don't give a shit because they're confident they and theirs will hold out on resources way longer than the rest of us, at the barrel of a gun if they have to, since there'll be enough desperate fools to accept scraps to keep protecting them from us. And in the meantime they'll continue to promote the same old filthy industries and agriculture, de-fund public transit, buy up social media to openly and proudly promote misinformation, and use their state and corporate media hierarchies to ensure ignorance towards the climate emergency like they have the ongoing pandemic, or just keep pushing back already-laughable environmental "targets" while they keep laughing at us, extracting resources and profits, filling their coffers, fucking the planet, and introducing sweeping surveillance and protest bans, to the point where someone like me, even with my privileges, will end up in prison just for existing or for anarchist thought; someone who never did shit to anyone, just dared to engage in (shock!) noncompliance in their wretched little system, doing no harm and taking no shit. Take care of one another! Organise! We can't aid and abet these policymaking mass murderers in sharp suits. We can't lose our humanity. After all, *humanity* never *was* compatible with capitalism. #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #CapitalismIsADeathCult #Capitalism #anarchism #solidarity #organise #unionise #unions #RentersUnion #RentersRights #TransRights #LGBTQ #RefugeesWelcome #WeAreThe99Percent #ACAB #Abolition #FuckCars #PublicTransit #community #urbanism

Wait, so kolektiva.social hasn't defederated from firefish.social yet I don't get notifications when an account from there interacts with me here? What's going on? #FediTips #Fediverse #Firefish #Kolektiva #Mastodon

@fineblackink @fasnix Ooh interesting! I couldn't get Firefish to work with Megalodon.

I've been working on an article about #ExoticAdrianStreet and his legacy, his cultural impact, and his significance for me personally, and tonight was saddened to hear about his passing. If anyone is seeking such a piece for their magazine and/or website, let me know; I can have it finalised this week. #AdrianStreet #RIPAdrianStreet #journalism #writing #gender #GlamRock #ProWrestling #wrestling

Has anyone used #Tuba for the #Fediverse? Does it work with #Calckey / #Firefish?

@crowgirl Ohh neat. Thank you so much for sharing!

@crowgirl Whoah. And how was that made? Raspberry Pi? I gotta get me one of those.

no uk or us government will ever save you from climate collapse, the only reason to talk about the govt is to demostrate to liberals that they are wasting their time

@fawfulfan People are going to *really* get the wrong idea when they call it "X Blue." Hoo lordy.

@leighms @pixelfed @dansup Thanks! My rationale was based on hoping to take advantage of the newly introduced ability to sign in to a Pixelfed account from Mastodon, which is only possible to set up with new accounts. Thankfully, Dan has just clarified. It seems I may be able to just link up the accounts sometime in the future!

@dansup @pixelfed Ahh, thank you so much for taking the time to clarify -- and keep up the remarkable work; really appreciate it! (And will soon put my money where my mouth is and actually donate!)
