If children's story books had to pass accessibility testing, so many of them would fail basic colour contrast tests. All should be tested by being read in a dark, dimly lit room. Stop putting black text on dark blue, ffs.

Wenn ich den Verlauf von Mails anzeigen lassen möchte, also alle in einem Verlauf, dann möchte zumindest ich die neueste ganz oben haben und nicht ganz unten!
Aber auch hier gilt wie fast immer, ihr gebt den Leuten keine Möglichkeit das in den Einstellungen anzupassen…
Und die Aktualisierung der Android App hat mal eben einen Teil meiner Einstellungen überschrieben.
Das ist übergriffig! Ein absolutes "No Go"!!

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Feedback. Wir werden es an die Entwickler weitergeben.


I love you all, and I'm so sorry. This is a deep blow, and now we all have to live in the anxiety of all the what ifs. This is a time for unity among us, not to play blame games on other people who also didn't want this outcome. You all mean a lot to me, and we will need each other more than ever in the coming months and years. A virtual hug to you all, you're important and you matter.


Everyone processes grief differently.

One of the reasons people break up and families fall apart during times of grief is because the stages of their processing and healing don't line up. All of us need different things to heal, and none if us will be healed in one day.

So let people rant online if it helps them, let them make jokes or make light of the situation, let them cry and feel despair. All of those feelings are correct and "normal" right now. Go ahead and feel your feelings however you need to.



Still posting on Substack? Remember this is a nazi bar. It was all along.


And thus, my friends, the $44 billion for Twitter weren’t lost at all but rather invested into bringing United States’ wannabe-dictator back into power. Now that this goal has been accomplished, Elon can expect to be richly rewarded.

Oh, you are still on Xitter? Driving a Tesla? I hope you are happy with what you’ve helped achieve.

(A number of other US tech billionaires are guilty as well, but that’s the one who didn’t even make it a secret that he is there for fascism.)

The best time to push against the surveillance industrial complex was when it started. The second best time is now.

Be careful about what you say and do and how you look.

Never trust anyone who says they agreed with you but just couldn't vote for Harris.



Super excited that eggnog season is back, yay, that means my favorite part of the year has arrived, if I can resist from over-indulging in it Locally here our Walmart had it as well as Albertsons


If you were eligible to vote and did not vote in this election, I have to ask: why? And, was it worth it?

I'm genuinely asking those questions.

Please be careful before you start shifting blame of the election results.

How does one de-radicalize people, dissuade them of conspiracy theories, break them out of cults? There must be books and research into this? Both at scale and at the individual level?


Second time this year I'm taking time offline, second time this year the world is on fire when I get back online.

I only see one solution. I need to go offline forever.

is there anyone in my bubble of fedi who can put a friend of mine in touch with a New Zealand trucking company that's hiring immigrants?

she currently holds a US CDL with hazmat and doubles certification, so she should qualify for anything



Remember, France is already governed by fascists, and Canada is just an election away from this.

This all because people vote against their interests.

Dneska se mi poprvé v životě stalo, že ukazatel teploty chladící kapaliny motoru byl mimo normu. Tomu autu jsem po cestě z práce dával ještě jak nikdy. Tak moc jsem spěchal domů. Až jsem si řekl hmm. Dobře. Tak zapnu topení na plno, ať to zchladím. Po příjezdu domů jsem zjistil, že se ta ručička sekla a po opětovném otočení klíče už byl ukazatel v normě. Nelze se divit, že se to seklo. Možná to na tom místě bylo poprvé v životě.

Moje první auto, které jsem dostal od našich, byla v roce 94 Škoda 120 L, ta vařila vodu pravidelně. Po vychladnutí jsem do nádržky rval i sníh v zimě 😀😀
in reply to Archos

@archos já měl Fiata 500, toho s opačně otevíranýma dveřma a motorem vzadu. V létě se přehříval furt, jezdilo se s otevřeným kufrem vzadu.
in reply to Archos

@archos Já měl první auto v r. 91 Škodu 100, to byl taky hardcore. Aspoň ale měla vychytávku - proměnný převod na větrák chladiče. Řemen se dal na léto nebo na zimu na jinou dvojici řemenic. Ale stejně se v létě topilo... 😅


Toronto breaks 65-year-old temperature record on Tuesday

community spaces. solidarity networks. free clinics. mutual aid. community kitchens. community clothes closets. solidarity funds. give-away shops. filesharing. community servers. tenant unions. sit-ins. disobedience.

humans are a communal species. we thrive when we're together.

building a healthy community is more radical and more effective than anything else you can do. never forget that.

Mam takovou kacířskou myšlenku.
Ještě pořád si myslíte, že ti normální jsme my?
Jako já vím, že se snažíme prosazovat bezpečnost, lidské hodnoty, spravedlnost… Ale zatím to vypadá, že většina světa si přeje něco jiného a za normální považuje věci, které jsou pro nás přes čáru. A není to najednou JEN Maďarsko, jen Slovensko, jen Amerika.
Takže otázka zní, nejsme MY ta zmatená menšina bez vztahu k realitě?

in reply to František Fuka (Fuxoft)

no, a teď babo raď. Většinové ano, demokraticky odhlasované ano, ale demokratické? Asi i jo, ale správné a lidské určitě ne 🤷‍♂️
in reply to Ivan Stloukal

Není to demokratické. Právo většiny není definicí demokracie, je to jen jeden ze způsobů demokratického rozhodování. Dalšími jsou třeba kvalifikovaná většina nebo konsenzus. Navíc demokracie není jednorázová věc, ale proces, který má umožnit nápravu rozhodnutí opět demokratickými prostředky. Když si odhlasujeme, že tu chceme diktaturu a koncentráky, tak na to jaksi opravný demokratický mechanismus není, takže i když si to odhlasuje většina, pořád to bourá ten demokratický proces a demokratické to tudíž není.


Music is a great way to get emotions out. First time making something in Reaper. No fucking clue why my sidechain seemingly just...completely and entirely went away when I rendered it, but whatever. Don't care, got a tiny bit of my emotions out this way. Any clues how I'm feeling yet?

hugs. Love how dusteppy that one is! Music is a great way to get feelings out and I'm glad you have it to channel into. Remember your friends and this little community will always be here for you no matter how this crazy world turns.



Note to USA folks, ❗trans folks especially❗.

A passport is:
- Fundamentally useful
- A federal ID
- Recognized in most state/local level contexts
- *You can change your gender marker on it through pure self ID, with nothing medical required*. "X" is an option. travel.state.gov/content/trave…
- Normally 4-6 weeks to process (faster if u pay extra); that means if you apply for one this week, you easily get it before Jan 20.
- Lasts 10 years

Perhaps apply for one (or renew it, to reset yr 10 years) soon.

Categorically insulting all of America for what happened yesterday is toxic behavior, and any of those engaging in it now should be ashamed of themselves. Some of our votes don't count because of the electoral college. Some of us are disabled or otherwise struggling and can't afford to move to places where it might, or can't move for other reasons. Some of us don't just show up and virtue signal at the polls every 4 years--we're actively fighting for marginalized folks the rest of the time as well. Some of us actively have our votes and voices taken away. I could go on and on and on and on and on.

You want to grieve with us or insult leadership, or even criticize the ones who voted for that fascist asshat? Fine. But tell us all we chose this, paint us all with one brush, and shame on you, and I hope for your sake no one kicks you the next time you have occasion to feel grief and hopelessness despite your efforts to change course. And when you do grieve, I hope you remember this moment and these words, and that someone might have kicked you when you were down too but didn't.

And anyone who says "it's fine, we're just being hyperbolic" can go fuck their hyperbolicism, and themselves for that matter, with a rusty nail. That's all my social media contribution for the day, thanks for joining me on my journey of self-expression.



Choose gentle joy to yourself. Make that your mantra. Live it day by day and develop the willpower to be in a mindful, nonreactive mindset. That's really the best advice I have today for Mastodon. I feel your pain, your fear, but by not assuming and listening to our fellow neighbors, choosing optimism, you can still shape further divisions from occuring in this world. Now go forth, I've given many you a bunch of inspiring messages that came from my heart and soul around this.

Since this morning I feel I'm in an alternate universe where the time isn't flowing the same way.




We are fucked as a democratic nation.
And now Ukraine is fucked and so is Gaza.

The whole planet is fucked. I wish this was hyperbole, but it's not.
