The final toot
A decision has been made.
As of this toot, I'm moving my #Mastodon presence to the @vivaldi.net instance. You can find me there as @xl8freelancer. Apart from not having so many #502errors, the Vivaldi instance seems to be better federated, giving me more opportunities to connect with new people.

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.
If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.
If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.
I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:
-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.
I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.

No keď sú už raz tie ich názory dezolátne, ako inak ich nazvať? "K*k*ti v uliciach" by asi neprešlo.
#media #TVMarkíza #dezolé
Rada pre mediálne služby upozornila TV Markízu na porušenie zákona v súvislosti s reportážou s názvom Dezoláti v uliciach, ktorú odvysielala v septembri 2022. Názov príspevku podľa regulátora znevažoval ľudí na základe ich názoru.
Aha, lebo 500 eur za účasť na voľbách by nemal negatívny vplyv na rozpočet 🤔.
(Nie, nie som fanúšik Hlasu.)

Poslanci strany Hlas navrhujú jednorázový príspevok 500 eur pre obyvateľov ohrozených chudobou. Ministerstvo financií tvrdí, že návrh by mal negatívny vplyv na rozpočet verejnej správy.
Citam o p. Jankovskej a obsah zatial bokom, pozrime sa na fotku: asi trpi.
Co je pochopitelne, ked clovek "spadne" z luxusu do vezenia.
Zbytocne trpiet by nemal nik. Ak budeme riesit lepsiu pohodu pre p. Jankovsku (resp. lepsie: vsetkych veznov), tak som za. Ale pripominam, ze niektori maju smolu, ze sa do podobnej ci horsej nepohody rovno narodili a su v nej cely zivot. Tym sa tiez zide pomoc, asi aj viac, kedze za "narodenie sa (na zlom mieste)" by nemal byt trest.

B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have “blood on their hands”. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
