“Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses.” (Steinbeck)#Monterey #Photography #MontereyBayAquarium

@molly0xfff 200 mil is around 2040 BTC. It doesn’t sound so bad in those terms…

If you want to create accessible non-gendered bathrooms at an event space that doesn't have them, you have to do slightly more than just cover the bathroom door signs. If the facilities differ (particularly menstrual products, trash cans in the stalls or baby changing tables), mention that on the new signs.Better yet, make sure both bathrooms have these things.

@wgahnagl no airplane on the Silicon Dawn's Tower, but it is clearly 9/11 inspired

@joelle Btw, there's a Behind the Bastards two-parter about Schliemann (who has a claim for bastardhood in his own right) making swastikas "cool".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z50nPmw7RL4

@NMBA I know. Boomers got theirs then screwed the generations after!(Sorry to the Boomers in the room who sympathize!)

@andycarolan I always find alcohol treats me better in the morning when I stay well hydrated while drinking said alcohol. Don’t forget water!

China's claims to be the Middle (中) Land (国) are seriously undermined by its lack of Dwarves, Elves, and Hobbits.

🧵 6/? That "public charge" situation is entirely something of systemic ableism's own creation. The same way that right wingers attack democratic governments and then say "See? Government is bad!"I'd like to see more abled people follow disabled people, read disabled writers, journalists, artists, and scholars. I'd like to see abled people get active in calling bullshit on this system because this international ableism is biting particularly hard right now. It's your future. @disability

Guys (gn), I was just on Bluesky because I have an account on there for @gendercensus, and I asked a how-to question, and when I had the answer and didn't want more people telling me the same thing over and over I simply disabled replies for that post. It was so useful to be able to do that.The ability to disable replies was requested for Mastodon SIX (6) YEARS ago. It has 565 upvotes, and it's one of the most popular on the whole issue list. Here it is: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8565 If you think it's a good, common-sense idea, please do head over there and log into Github and leave a at the bottom of the first post. If you feel strongly, leave a comment.If you think it's a bad idea because people should be subject to your replies whether they like it or not as this is the open internet etc etc, please do knob off.Edit: Here's the Mastodon development roadmap: https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap It's the second most popular open feature request for Mastodon of all time, and it's on the "Exploring" section of the official roadmap, it's not even planned.

@dnanian ooh! Thank you!

@cobalt @jpaskaruk I quit Twitter cold turkey on January 1, 2023, and I have literally never looked back. I had about 70 k followers, so it wasn’t an easy decision - especially as I was live tweeting the best debates from the Senate floor. But I have no regrets. I love the Mastodon community. And the Twitter I once loved no longer exists.
