I'm old enough to remember when Yahoo! Groups unceremoniously nuked every single LGBT mailing list overnight, leaving people completely untethered from communities they had relied on and loved. When that happened, we got angry at Yahoo!. And yet when people flee from Twitter, anger is directed at those "defectors". Twitter is not a country, and we were not its citizens. It is a corporation. If Twitter is driving people away, it's Twitter's fault. It's not our job to fix it. #noxp
My back could do a decent job as the percussion if #Khia ever does a remake. My neck, my back.
@apps
OK thanks.
@apps
Got it. Quick question: filters I have on my account aren't showing up in the filters section of the app. I know one isn't working in the app but is working on the website. What am I doing wrong?

I've been here for 22 years, some things have gotten better with the bus and some things have not. NGL it's mostly white ppl who need to learn how to acknowledge folks properly putting in the work.
I have no problem separating the person driving from the disaster that is WMATA.

In DC you (should) address/acknowledge the bus driver upon getting on. I usually say thanks getting off, because I am grateful. It's a hard job being a bus driver. People suck. #wmata #washingtondc #dmv
Did I give up on #wmata yet again after freezing waiting for a bus to come? Yep. Tomorrow I have somewhere I absolutely have to be by 1830 and I will just take a car.
This mugging for the camera loaf can't get along with other cats but he's still cute. #catsofmastodon
Taking a restorative nap before facing #WMATA, which will almost inevitably leave me waiting in the cold.
@uc "It's always DNS"
The comfortable habit of defederating entire instances because you don't like what one person says or that they disagree with you is just nuts. I highly doubt an instance set up for Black folks (WHO SHOULD NOT NEED TO SET UP THEIR OWN INSTANCE) would stay federated with many on here for long.
Demands to CW racism as experienced by people is some very bad shit and you need to get over your feelings being hurt because someone accurately documents their experiences. Use the filter if you're so upset.
I'm poking around and occasionally getting odd things on the TL about "you can't change Elmo's mind". Buddy, no one is trying, stop condescending.
A nu Start seems wholly on brand.
Middle aged IT grunt (on paper system engineer/admin/what is broken today?) & fed.
Gay & tired but up for a good drink and the gym.
Don't really align with #gamer but have played #Civilization for 30 years, and love sim/strategy.
Been in #washingtonDC most of my adult life, going on 22 years. Real people live here.
Happy to resume #travel finally.
I'm not gonna CW two men kissing.
