a man logs on to mastodon.
he takes a sip of coffee, and then spits it out.

Also, very much not here for your “there’s room in the fediverse for everyone” takes, as if these people don’t suck all the oxygen out of the room. See my earlier toot about not engaging with missing the point bad takes, just move on, or get muted. 🖤 Your choice.

If, when you say, we should treat celebrities like everyone else, you mean we redistribute their wealth, hold them accountable for their actions AND inactions, and expect they use their platform to amplify oppressed voices until we dismantle celebrity culture entirely? Then yes, I’m with you.

@Elizafox @kaniini @Gargron I'll throw $50us into the pot if you merge that patch, too.

if anyone wants to contribute to the pot to get Gargron to merge https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/8205

Some people tend to get depressed because their brains are biologically tuned to be better at perceiving and focusing on negative information in the environment.

Living in a hostile environment is particularly bad for these people. Interestingly, there is some evidence that living in a supportive environment is particularly *good* for these people.

But in this situation it wasn't that my dad wasn't being serviced or whatever, nor was it even that the cashier didn't know English, it was just the cashier assumed my dad knew Spanish.
