@indixotic Yeah, I've been meaning to get the bird off my phone. I use the Mastodon crossposter and what I post now originates here, not there, so I'm well on the way.

But I hear you about data concerns.

@penguin42 @ColinTheMathmo Similarly, despite what the Toto song would have you believe, Kilimanjaro is not visible from Serengeti National Park.

@indixotic This was a present from my Canadian girlfriend. 🍁 ❤️

@indixotic You won't regret it. In January I deleted the main FB app off my phone. I didn't delete my FB account, and I didn't delete their Messaging app from my phone, just the main phone app. Even with that one step I was amazed how much of my time I reclaimed.

#Dominica was the only UK #Caribbean territory to be a republic on independence, although Trinidad later followed and now #Barbados also.

#uspol Normally I'd be the last person to post something from Fox News about the Republicans, but this... oh yes. 😄 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/transexual-satanist-anarchist-picks-up-gop-sheriff-nh-county

@portpupper Moreover, English has already used "Latin" for generations as a gender neutral term for this.

@sir Thanks for saying that. To my great and undying annoyance libertarians are often confused for conservatives, so I feel your pain.

Also, for the record, Black lives matter, and no human is illegal.

@jvmarcebuche My first year at university I studied music composition, specifically voice and piano. That was [mumble] years ago, but I still love to make music!

#uspol Remember, you can't spell barratry without Barr.

@mala To me part of this depends on what people mean when they use the word "capitalism". Does it mean an actual free market? Does it mean the crony corporatism we have now? Is it just a lazy synonym for "anything leftists dislike"?

For this reason, I basically try to avoid it altogether.

@dockers That's so weird! What did you do a Master's in?

@tk In capitalist America, even propaganda is privatized.

@stragu I could joke that only one country is advanced enough to use Freedom Units... but the twin truths are that our date format makes no sense and the metric system is objectively better.

I may have disagreed with David Graeber on quite a few things, but he clearly cared deeply about the well-being of others, and I'm always especially sad when we lose someone like that, particularly when it's so untimely. RIP.
