“How can you go to a ska show when democracy is crumbling before you?” Yeah, I get it. But you gotta take time for joy. Also— #ska is the phrase “Man, the world fucking sucks but this guy can play sick licks on a trumpet” put to an off-beat rhythm, so hells yeah.

A serial troller set up a profile on my instance. It requires review, but he was smart enough to make it look almost like he was legit. He wasn’t. He posted a slew of ramblings which were more incoherent than anything terribly inflammatory. Within an hour, four people from four different instances reported the account to me, and I immediately suspended it. I know others have issues with Mastodon moderation, but it sure worked perfectly today. Thanks! #fediblock

Actually, the Irish contingent watching #IowaState and #KansasState run around the field with possession changing back and forth and little threat of scoring is pretty much the type of football they’re used to. #Dublin #cfb #CollegeFootball @cfb group

Every #Tuesday morning, I stand on a street corner carrying flags and signs of #protest against the #Republican regime. And I’m joined by a few friends and neighbors, as I was #today. #RhRR is something hyperlocal I can do, so I do it 3x a week.

Rush-hour Resistance Rally - #RhRR

A grassroots, bottom-up, and local effort to show our neighbors and passersby they are not the only ones furious with the Republican regime!

Here are a few shots from part of our group in front of the US Immigration Court in #Phoenix this morning. #resist #activism #uspol #az @npub1ejmn...g9td

Time for a little patio time to administer my nightly sleeping routine. And it’s only [checks notes]: (That’s 100° F for my fellow USians who don’t do metric.) 🥵 #Phoenix
