🏳️‍🌈 Joan Mastodon -- wear a mask, damn it

@MassGovernor Please follow Pres. Biden's lead and pardon everyone convicted of possessing marijuana in the Commonwealth. Simple possession is no longer a crime in Massachusetts.

@BlueCat67515313 @bodhipaksa "A dialect is a language with an army and a navy." That argument is circular: if Scottish is official, it's a language and deserves to be official.

@bodhipaksa There is a difference between a language and a dialect.

@pkincaid_critic @maureenkspeller I'm sorry for your loss.

@Peradventur3 @stejormur @alexhern Cliche in much of the US: "it's not the heat, it's the humidity." Air-drying doesn't work well at 95% humidity w/ afternoon showers.

@MBTA Thank you for doing your best to keep us safe.

Even if you're: • Fully vaccinated • Waiting inside a station • Just going one stop You're still required to wear a mask while on the T to #RideSafer. 😷 Forgot your mask? We've got you covered with free masks available at key stations: mbta.com/RideSafer

@AskTU I'm trying to create an account, but can't enter the "state" part of my address -- there's blank space, no text box or menu. Tried both firefox and chrome.

@messierobject44 @UrsulaV 1066 and All That. "died of a surfeit of palfreys"

So I’m reading this self-pub Regency romance, the title of which I will NOT give you because I don’t mock authors who aren’t rich or dead, and the writing is solid but wow, you can tell they thought spellcheck was a substitute for human copyediting.

It’s #WorldOkapiDay! An okapi may look similar to a horse or zebra, but its closest relative is the giraffe. Nicknamed the “African unicorn,” okapis are very secretive animals and rarely seen in the wild.

@gorskon @delbigtree @RobertKennedyJr For contrast, an actual Holocaust survivor rolling her arm up for the Pfizer COVID vaccine: jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/holocaust-surv…

Yes, antivaxxers comparing #COVID19 vaccination to the Holocaust are just that awful, just as awful as @delbigtree and @RobertKennedyJr were when they routinely made comparisons between school vaccine mandates and the Holocaust before the #pandemic.

@aegtx Definitely. And thanks for the reminder. (Lizzy's delivery for the win.)

The racial disparities we're seeing exacerbated by COVID are not new. Racism has been a public health crisis. I'm glad @CDCgov agrees, and now it's time for Congress to pass my bill with @RepBarbaraLee & @SenWarren: the Anti-Racism in Public Health Act. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

OK just to be clear: if I say "we must crack down on serial killers" and you say "why are you launching this thinly veiled personal attack on me" I'm gonna have questions

@Arlen @ursulakleguin @USPS That's Genly Ai and Therem Harth rem ir Estraven pulling their sledge over the Gobrin Ice.

@ursulakleguin @USPS Is that intended to be a scene from Left Hand, or something more generic?

@AndresMontoyaIN @ellienosurname @theannalytical Decide what it's for first. I could check "bi" or "pan" AND "polyamorous," and you still wouldn't know my pronouns or preferred title.

@ellienosurname @theannalytical Oh, thanks! So, I'll change it and make it customizable :)

send me the worst gender selection forms you've seen, I'll start
