The District Attorney has closed the case against me...but has also ruled that the punches were "justified" and so Thompson has been reinstated.

The best way to help is to boost, share, and be loud about police violence.

If you can financially contribute even a few dollars on a regular basis:

is my preferred.

Donations to:

are also appreciated.

A thing I mentioned: the toot.cat news page reports both federated instance outages and governance concerns from marginalized community members, which I think is such a great illustration of Mastodon culture https://mew.toot.cat/mw/Main_Page#Mastodon_News #osb18

Rudolf Steiner said, before you take single step toward knowledge or power, take two steps toward ethics. This expresses one of the huge reasons for upgrading our philosophical (including ethical) frameworks. We're on the verge of significant steps toward knowledge and power, but first there's significant ethical/spiritual growth to be accomplished.

It's really very good.

Just...read it.
Out loud, if you can manage it.
Choose to fight with me.

Fight for life.
Fight for fairness.
Crush them with words until they cry and run away.

Slay them with weapons that are mightier than any sword, gun, or SWAT attempt.

Happy Pride Month to all of you, especially if you can't wave your flag or haven't found it yet.

take whatever money you're giving to gargron and put it towards your favorite instances' patreon/support funds (after all, these are the folks keeping m.s's load down, AND the whole reason joinmastodon.org exists, AND the whole reason mastodon as a whole is so successful), or give those dollars directly to your marginalized fediverse frens who are struggling right now.

I was tired when I posted that, it's https://gofundme.com/tessa-survival/, not indiegogo.

The $1,700 is the most important bit, everything else will take second place.
Once I have the medical assessment need met, I will have my disability confirmed, which gives me a solid monthly income to springboard other efforts off of.

...and Lincoln Financial Group owes me large sums of money once I can prove my disability, too.

do:

- send
- send followup
- boost that toot
- like that selfie
- flirt if ur thirsty

don't:

- systemically throw your years of white guilt onto me because I'm not your therapist
- argue with me about something I said in the pod if you don't listen to the actual pod
- misgender me
- send unsolicited takes

never:

- try and clown on me if you don't have the range

@shel yes!! also the "smart girl's guide to privacy" book by violet blue, of which there's a PDF on https://pub.wxcafe.net/Privacy_Guide.pdf

"A DIY Guide to Feminist Cybersecurity" https://hackblossom.org/cybersecurity/

This is super important for anyone doing any kind of organizing and also just is useful in general

i spent ten minutes researching the origins of the popularization of a slang phrase with likely no exact creator, in the off chance i'd put up a design i made with it -- and real paid writers are out here not crediting the people they quote in their own damn articles

> Federal authorities issued a brief statement saying, in part, that "federal law enforcement officers initiated a law enforcement action to reopen" the building, which is on Southwest Macadam Avenue.

> Shortly after 6 a.m., dozens of officers, some in riot gear, were lined up on the streets and outside the building entrance. Macadam had been blocked by police vehicles.
