@SocialGaff @ADHDefy Oh my gawd. Parentheses (nested (of course [sometimes with brackets [as though that would help]])); semicolons -- and em dashes (with spacing because, you know, it's gonna get HTMLified -- and HTML linebreaks are unreliable) -- somehow don't make my writing clear to other people.- Short sentences- and bullet pointssometimes do.I don't *think* I have ADHD. But I recently learned "hyperfocus" happens with ADD/ADHD; so maybe I'm just undiagnosed.

@atomicpoet @nkizz @fediversenews Yay for email gateway! Meh for Gmail, personally; I'm about to dump my Gmail account anyway. (But I thought Gmail supports STMP? Oh, probably a bunch of authentication to go through, and maybe only for registered devs or some such?)

@packy @pivoinebleue I tried making one in Excel, and I think you're right -- the green was a little too small. (I haven't checked whether the numbers are correct... oughta do that.)

@bacchus1234 > U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a California law prohibiting the in-state sale of pork, eggs, and veal derived from creatures "confined in a cruel manner."Sounds good.

@fcktheworld587 @laescude @Tarah I saw this in a different Mastodon thread somewhere - https://psychology.exeter.ac.uk/cic/about/theglasscliff/I'd not heard of the #GlassCliff but it's evidently well documented, and applicable to most leaders from marginalized backgrounds.

Seen on a profile:"We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings."I need to print that in a large font, and put it on my ceiling so it's the first thing I see when I wake up.#MorningMessage #Inspiration Thanks @datatitian

@Beeflower @QasimRashid It's both white supremacy and fascism.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy Since when is it OK to bow down to terrorists? I'm trying to imagine a similar reaction from Target and Budweiser if, say, a militant black Muslim lesbian separatist organization started similarly attacking those brands for their heteronormative actions and advertising; and my imagination isn't up to the task.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy My point is that when it comes to protecting their employees from right-wing nut jobs, they do it by caving to the RWNJ demands. That's not how they protect their interests from, say, eco-terrorists or animal rights extremists -- in those cases, they mobilize the police, offer rewards for information, enforce trespass orders, etc. I can only draw conclusions about what they actually think is important.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy Two things wrong there, I think.1. It cannot be that "the system" throws up their hands in impotent dismay due to the numbers of people opposing them, no matter how well armed. For exampole, see how the coal miner strikes were treated.2. There are not *millions* of committed MAGAts ready to go to jail to keep trans-friendly bathing suits out of Target. There are maybe hundreds. For example, only a dozen people filed the vast majority of book ban requests.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy They're loud, proud, obnoxious, and dangerous; but they do not number in the millions.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy "Armed" is different from "willing to do a physical terrorism". Hell, most of my neighborhood is armed. Hunters, home defense, target shooters, gang bangers. None of us are gonna go shoot up a business though.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy "Most" of the MAGAts are not "making death threats". It's like, maybe 20 or 40 4-chan incels.The stochastic terrorism thing is a real problem, and has been since Columbine. (I recently learned that those kids were neo-nazis.) Removing swimsuits does not make it go away -- it makes it worse, by encouraging the terrorists.

@JohnShirley2023 @wdlindsy Yeah. So, by the logic of Target and Budweiser, county elections officials should just let the GOP count the ballots?

@KimPerales That's disappointng. I never read Blind Side, but I enjoyed Big Short.Seems like a problem with #DeathOfTheAuthor is that, knowing now that the author has problems I hadn't known of earlier, I'm forced to wonder: What got slanted, or left out?

@HamonWry I feel like you're slandering female canines, but aside from that, I agree.
