The rate limiting incident in Twitter isn't really what pushed me over to use Mastodon more and more. Currently there is a hashtag on Twitter related to the French riots that's calling on the expulsion of all Muslim, African, and Arab immigrants from the entirety of Europe. The trending hashtag (at #2) is filled with images encouraging mass killings and lynchings of Arabs. There is no come back from this.
Holiday update:
4th of July has been canceled due to a shortage of Independence.
Sincerely,
Women

I've been spewing every thought in my head on the internet since my university days in 1993. Thirty years. From Usenet to Blue Sky. I often say I live in the internet, and it's no joke.
But...if I can ask...why are you here? Just wondering why people have listened for thirty years....
Don't have to answer in public (or at all). DMs are open.
Actually this week all my meals were fancy pants meals, but my other two were fairly simple and easy to make with what I had on hand.
They were meals in my Zelda cookbook for "Salt Grilled Meat" which actually wasn't salt-grilled, or even grilled. But they make for the best pan-fried steak and baked chicken ever.
