It has been said that when Mastodon is without a CEO, upon three soundings of the great Fedi Horn, John Mastodon will wake from his slumber under the mountain and return to take his rightful place.
@RiverEnodian Pachli is nice!
So far I've been recommending Fedilab and Moshidon. Giving Fedilab a shot
@RiverEnodian
Moshidon is good, not sure if it does quote toots
More specifically one where can you both view local AND quote toots
Can anyone recommend a better app on Android than Tusky?
I have to pee
My kitty is resting her head on my arm while hugging my arm it is cute but I am cuteness captive and have been for an least an hour now
She is adorable
One of the two people killed in yesterday’s terror attack on Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester was accidentally shot by police. A second person received non-fatal gunshot wounds; they appear to have been behind the closed synagogue door when officers opened fire on the suspect, named as 35-year-old Jihad al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian origin. Three others have been arrested.
Gonna blow way too many people's minds to learn that there are like several different types of Zionism and that's just among Jews. Then there are the non-Jews who have their own version of Zionism where they want to round us all up and either convert or kill us. That's Christian Zionism.
And when you get Judaism, Jews in general, and the actual Jewish forms of Zionism confused with Christian Zionism you sound antisemitic as hell. I literally can't tell the difference between you and the far right, and I trust you about as much with my personal safety.
This is directed at leftists AND liberals. Jews are the targets of white supremacists--tho a few have chosen to join their side to try & save their hides like Stephen Miller (spoilers: it won't). And listening to people who appropriated from social justice language to claim this is a white vs brown issue are full of shit. Most people in Israel are NOT white. And non-Jews make up 20% of the pop.
The largest Zionist org in the US is Christian, not Jewish.
In other news, there's chatter here on :mastodon: that the CEO of Bluesky is a 'bit' of a transphobic arsehat, so there's a bit of an exodus to Mastodon going on, so :ablobcatmeltwave: new people 🦋 #Bluesky #Transphobia #TransRightsAreHumanRights
I've been mostly on Discord and World of Warcraft servers these days. When it's not due to dealing with a lot of personal issues, trauma, and grief it's due to taking care of my own mental health cause when I'm not being smacked with an eyeful of transphobia and antisemitism I'm digesting a ton of shit that my family literally came here to the US to avoid.
I've got my one kitty left and am doing my best to take care of her and spoil her rotten. She sleeps in my bed every night now.
It is very rare that a day goes by without my breaking down and crying cause of the loss of her sister tho. And it's not lost on me that the one person who'd understand what I'm going through and knows and loves them anywhere near as much as I do is also no longer here.
I miss my dad, and I miss my other kitty. And I miss hugs from them both.
Bluesky is going the way of X, been uncomfortable posting there for ages so it's not surprising me. Basically the ceo is a transphobe drunk on power and is acting like a Temu Elon Musk.
You'll likely see an influx of people coming here over to Fedi over the next few weeks.
And the posts of Jewish creators on TikTok talking about anything from making challah to the synagogue attack in Manchester England is being met with some of the most hateful antisemitic comments ever, I think it's worse over there than X now.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I've been in the process of prepping to submit an X gender marker change for my passport. It's already on my license and looking at getting it for my birth certificate.
I'm hearing conflicting info now on whether or not you can still do that and I don't know what to do
A very good summary of things
How do my #trans siblings handle allies that you feel aren’t doing enough, but you can see they are trying and want to try?
Idk I’m dealing with something difficult rn. A couple of weeks ago my mom watched that new interview between Stephen Fry and the right wing channel “Triggernometry”.
My mom thought it was a great interview and wanted to watch it with me… it then became very apparent how little she understands what I go through as a trans person, and ngl it really really hurts.
I'd really love to know why my kitty keeps going to the front door and crying
No, she's never done that before. No, she's entirely an indoors cat and always has been.
She did however lose her sister a few weeks ago 😢 We've been comforting each other but she's def more anxious and seems to be in constant terror of my leaving the room she's in.
