If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏
Thanks to anyone who can do this. It is really appreciated! This server is small but will be hosting several #peace #SocialJustice and #Humanistic groups, so it is for a good cause.

Wow. Apple finally decided to stop arguing with the FBI and enable full encryption of iCloud backups. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/07/icloud-apple-encryption/
Just got laid off from BuzzFeed and I’m truly heartbroken. I have so much passion for writing and to get this news right before Christmas is truly devastating. If anyone is looking for a writer—I’m available for hire. 🙁 #tuesday
My 87 year old parents just called me extremely distressed. They told me to remain calm and proceeded to tell me that my son called crying saying he was in jail. He said he'd hit a pregnant woman with his car and needed bail money. An attorney then called with details saying he would need $7,500.00 to be released. It was a SCAM. I'd just talked to my son. They would have paid except for the fact that I have their bank cards. Please be careful out there.
Bessie Stringfield
'In 1930, at age of 19, Bessie Stringfield flipped a penny onto a map of the US then ventured out on her bike alone. She became the first Black woman to ride a motorcycle in every one of the connected 48 states — a solo cross-country ride she undertook eight times during her lifetime'

I left my job abruptly yesterday over a disagreement about how to handle a situation involving a speaker at company all-hands suggesting we should check out Kanye's interview.
In my mind, it should be a no-brainer for an exec/leadership team to clearly state they whole-heartedly disagree with such a recommendation and Kanye's views on genocide and Nazism. Any reluctance on this front is unacceptable and an implicit endorsement that this kind of hate-speech is ok.
Unbelievable except not. The most delusional people in US politics are "centrists" in denial about GOP radicalism https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1598293545500147715
