Finally finished my xmas tree! I really like the addition of the florals to add some life. My grandmother has been a professional tree decorator for decades, so I take a lot of my decor sensibilities from her. She focuses on trees where the branches are well-fluffed, lights are dense, decor provides different shapes/shades/textures for visual interest, and depth is important. #ChristmasTree
Age-verification laws now cover half the US, requiring IDs or face scans to access “harmful” content 📄
Advocates warn these mandates expand surveillance, increase breach risks, and could enable censorship under bills like KOSA ⚠️
Groups like

I think my favourite thing on social media is when my feed fills up with people performative “not caring” about something, and that becomes the reason I know the thing is happening when I’d have otherwise missed it

Last I heard, AUSD teacher contact negotiations were at an impasse. So I figured I'd see what was happening at the school board meeting...
It started with public comment supporting teachers getting paid more. Heather Little gave a nice big hug speech. And notes that the fixed amount of bond money we voted for, is a smaller chunk every year. The newest board member, Carrie Hahnel, notes that the upcoming governor election means any increased education funding will likely go to pet programs.

Congress Is About to Break the Internet - by Taylor Lorenz:
"These proposed laws include The Kids Online Safety Act, The SCREEN Act and The App Store Accountability Act. The laws would censor LGBTQ and reproductive justice content off the internet, and any speech the government doesn’t like will be removed or blocked." https://www.usermag.co/p/congress-is-about-to-break-the-internet
BOOST PLEASE. We're the Cosmic Collective-a plural/DID system(moving from old account). Our host is a trans man(the guy who'll do most toots). We have various disabilities, sexes, genders, interests etc. Some are ND. We post about trans & other LGBTQIA rights, disability, plural life, cats, memes & other stuff. If you're leftist, pro LGBTQIA & disabled rights, supportive of systems or are plural, trans, ND, disabled or just a good egg, follow and let's build community. #introduction
Hey, fam. If you haven’t fed your sourdough starter in a while because [gestures at everything] reasons… I’m telling you it’s fine. This bish been languishing for months in the back of my fridge.
Take a minute to open the container. Unless you have pink streaks, active mold fuzz on top of the goo, or it smells like the Bog of Eternal Stench instead of just very sour dough… in the words of Granny Weatherwax, she “Aten’t Dead Yet.”
If you need some help perking up your carb-childe, holler and we’ll walk you through it.
If it’s dead-dead, throw the whole thing in the bin. You don’t need that kind of dead weight right now.
But if you’re ready to being home a new Bready Mercury or Breadgitte Bardough, I’ll bet someone near you has some discard looking for a new home.
