Hey all, please block and report @ChristiJunior@bae.st who is promoting white supremacy and Christian nationalism in their harassing and trolling replies to people. They seem to be particularly targeting trans accounts.
Happy #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! Be yourself, unapologetically. 🏳️⚧️

Our leaders here don't understand that there's a big difference between CBD and THC. CBD doesn't get you high. There's no need to restrict CBD products, though I'd still argue that full spectrum products like Delta-8 shouldn't need such cumbersome regulations either
Not happy. I went to go pick up some more #CBD gummies only to find out that the place I get them from has dropped all CBD and THC products because of immense uncertainty about laws and regulations thanks to our dumbass governor and his party thinking they can and should regulate things that they don't understand (hmmm...much like abortion and COVID and LGBTQ rights). I hope Virginia can complete the trifecta next gubernatorial race and get us a Democratic governor who will make these regulations make sense finally. #Hemp #THC
We're quickly closing in on winter here in the northern hemisphere, which means it's time for conifers to take center stage, like this Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold', growing to 12' x 6-8'; hardy to zone 5; appreciates some shade in hotter climates like the Deep South. #plants
TikTok may be owned by a Chinese company but that doesn't mean they're neutral when it comes to political speech on their platform. I just had a comment flagged and removed because I reacted with a 🤢 emoji to a video of a guy praising Trump.
#MAGA doesn't care about being labeled hypocrites. They have no problem doing the very things they accuse others of. "Libtards are snowflakes!" Yet they get butt-hurt over an emoji. Lmao.
Getting ready to head to Phoenix on Monday for vacation; unreal how expensive suitcases are. Like, really? $300 for a plastic case, some zippered pockets, and wheels?
I know I'm largely preaching to the choir here but I need to vent.
This whole thing with Kevin McCarthy being booted out and the government at the verge of a shutdown, at the whim of a small handful of extremists is bonkers on a level that's hard to comprehend. That this is even possible speaks volumes not just about the complete lack of character of these people but also how woefully insufficient our Constitution is, STILL, after 27 amendments.
It's only Tuesday and both hands have some degree of inflammation in them from doing nothing but pulling weeds at the farm for six, seven hours a day. Thank goodness for ibuprofen and BioFreeze gel.
If you're new to the Fediverse and you see people recommending to find a small to medium size instance rather than a big one like Mastodon.social, heed their advice. Once you start getting over a few thousand users, the risk of performance/reliability issues with the server increases exponentially. Plus, users spreading out among many instances is better for maintaining de-centralization than congregating at one or two big ones.

Das Internet (und damit auch Mastodon) ist ohnehin zu englischzentriert, deshalb versuche ich, mich mit Menschen in anderen Ländern in ihrer eigenen Sprache zu unterhalten.
Really appreciate everyone's well wishes and positive vibes. I'm doing better this morning. It was encouraging to hear from folks who've been down this road before and to hear that given advances in medicine and technology, this is a winnable battle.
Thank you all! 🫶
nostr:npub147cs3tl7d2e9uhzns8wyreacdh8sw25092jjf5ka4uycvr2rqhnsu527uk Sorry to hear this. As you said it’s early in the process and there’s lots of reasons for hope. Wishing you and your family the best.

One silver lining is that breast cancer treatments have advanced a lot over the years & recovery rates are higher than other forms of cancer. Fingers crossed for your Mom ❤🤞❤
nostr:npub1enax4z53pedtnqw2lffelkfecpnl5q4h82yhwrekd7c3cljk4eysvxyyv4 Thank you. Knowing that is definitely helping.
nostr:npub147cs3tl7d2e9uhzns8wyreacdh8sw25092jjf5ka4uycvr2rqhnsu527uk so sorry to hear this. Let me know if you need anything, help or advice especially with pain or chemo symptoms. There is a lot that people don’t talk about that is really miserable especially if you don’t know what’s coming.
nostr:npub14hals7mg55wgdj0lwv3p2th0lk5jz9whseagcqkcjamvqqmlf4fsckpqf0 Thank you, I appreciate that.
My wife is playing some LoFi/chillhop music on her phone and a LoFi beats version of the Shire theme song from #lordoftherings #lotr just came on and I immediately, instinctively, turned my head and listened, almost in a state of hypnosis like a Cobra with that flute thing. 😂 I'm such a Tolkein nerd.

In full bloom, it was quite a sight to see
