I made the jump to Mastodon. I went with the server @GeorgeTakei recommended, and signup was painless. It appears to be a closely moderated hate-free server. @avertexofmyown@universeodon.com Invite link:universeodon.com/invite/amP28xTk

@TinyWriterLaura The stay at home wife was (still is) a middle class luxury.

i always find it funny when people talk about how back in the day women didn’t work & one man’s salary was enough for a whole household because… what class are you talking about? my grandma was a nurse from 16 - 68 years old & my great grandma was out sawing railway sleepers

@scottwestacre Left out onions! (Big local crop)

Very good placement graphic on where each crop is grown

Old Fox's Advent Calendar. The Nineteenth Window. First light, a freezing fog rising from the river. The Newcomer opened a little cupboard in the depths of the wagon and took out a carved box made of white birch. Inside was a glass apple which he placed in a wide silver saucer and spun with his paw. Faster and faster it whirled, the glass misty then suddenly bright with turning images like an old Victorian phénakisticope, except these vignettes were real, spying the vast, wondrous world just as it was, that cold December morning of 1930. There was George V in his draughty palace, smoking his first pipe of the day, and there were the Bears in the hamlet, up early, hanging a holly wreath on their cottage door; there were the great bustling ports of London & Hamburg & Gdansk, the Baltic ships piled high with Christmas timber; there was Sea Otter out with the lifeboat on the Cornish coast, passing round the raisin wine to warm the crew. A spin, and heavy snow falls on a shepherd's hut deep in the Carpathian Mountains. A spin, and a birthday cake with yellow icing glitters with a dozen gold candles in a high attic room in Montmartre. A spin, and an artist, a painter of wild and beautiful landscapes, begins to snore, fast asleep on a beach by the ancient blue mirror of the Aegean. A spin, and a group of drunken, red-faced men cheer in a smoked-wreathed beer hall in Munich. How is the world, asks Old Fox, who had come for breakfast. In shivers, replies the Newcomer, in shivers.

@DougWahl1 No f’ing way

SHOULD TAYLOR OFFER TO PLAY FOR TRUMP Laura Ingraham said on the air this week that for the sake of national unity Taylor Swift should volunteer to perform at the Trump Inauguration. Your thoughts?

Old Fox's Advent Calendar. The Ninth Window. The storm had finally died down that morning, leaving pale blue fretful skies. After a breakfast of porridge and honey, Old Fox made his way to the far corner of Sixpenny woods. There, ringed with gleaming holly trees, like attendants upon a great prince, was the cottage's Christmas tree to be. It was a magnificent tree, whose sacred life had been given freely & reverently to Old Fox for that brief season at the turn of 1930, when the light tried so very hard to level in the world. For several hours, Old Fox listened intently to the tree's tales, stories of the haze of bluebells in the spring, of the little robins who chattered on his branches, of the sweet cool of the woods in the summer, when all the village courted in its lazy realms, of the copper-dun-gilt beauty of the autumn turn, and, now the snows which lay so heavy on his limbs. "Such a life I have had!" said the tree. "Such a life!" And Old Fox bowed to him, a low bow such as a great prince deserves. And at that point we must leave them, for there is magic in the deep woods at Christmastide of which us humans have no right to know.

Also, your regular reminder that right here in the US in New Orleans after Katrina, doctors at Memorial Hospital killed over 20 patients they decided were too sick or too fat to evacuate. Including 1 man they smothered with a towel when the morphine + benzos didn't kill him.

@TinyWriterLaura What a great photo! I’m glad to see you so happy.

anyway we are on holiday and very cute thank you

I am a doctor and I have a disability I am telling you without a shadow of a doubt Doctors do NOT have the time or the understanding to protect disabled people from assisted suicide Doctors will be killing vulnerable disabled people if this bill passes

@lizaadamczewski I see your posts first on BlueSky!

I’m beginning to wonder how many people are seeing my tweets has everyone left X ? 😂

@TinyWriterLaura Great thread! Thanks

i am enjoying this thread an incredible amount

@clightwine @scottwestacre Heartland Mills website says all their products are certified organic, which means no glycophosphate (for those concerned).

@scottwestacre heartlandmill.com/pages/products More good people from Kansas making flour for those of you looking for other varieties!!

Kansas flour from Kansas wheat farmers. Our local grain elevator has delivered wheat there over the years. This is the good stuff

@JoJoFromJerz F_——. Apparently they were explaining why they will interview him, but it sounds a lot like capitulation.

Ok so, I haven’t watched the news since the election — what the fuck just happened on Morning Joe?

@TinyWriterLaura Please come over to Bluesky so I can follow you there!

hercule purrot is in his Large Child era

@TheRichFromCali Agree

Wow!

@ToryJam I can’t find your profile on bluesky.

Hello, friends. I see that many have decided to leave X. Today I created an account on Bluesky, the name is the same, I pinned the link in the description of my profile. I will try to write there and there. An autumn photo so you remember what Serhiy and I look like😊

@WriteEditPJ M*A*S*H

@TheUSASingers I’ll never get to acceptance.

@DougWahl1 Yay!

BREAKING- Senate leader John Thune said today that there are not enough votes to pass a recess, which would have allowed Trump's appointments to take their post without a hearing. So Gaetz, and the others will have to go in front of committees and be grilled. Your thoughts?
