mastodon is crumbling, and many blame its users terminal inability to filter their own brians

Myasstodon is such a great instance and since opening up to a more general POC instance this week they've been getting a lot of new members, and new members means new costs. This is a great time to give them some support if you can! if not, boost!

Just because you're a bigot today doens't mean you have to be one tomorrow. You *can* be better. No one is perfect, but you can learn and grow. It's one the best things about being a human being.

We see that at play on the fedi everyday.

I'm lying on the sheepskin rug in the floor because strong wine was too strong. please send me pics of #giraffes

My bank account was eaten alive today by an unexpectedly-enormous vet bill, and I could use a hand buying stuff like food and medication. Anything helps, including boosts. Thank you. 💜
