Club Q shooting
Newsweek published an absolutely indefensible article about the "politicization" of the Club Q shooting, that basically pretends that right-wing homophobia and transphobia is a myth, and that a mass shooting at a gay club during a drag show was just a coincidence.
Complete trash written by someone who doesn't appear to meet the definition of a journalist in any capacity.
I'm honestly proud of myself for such an unhinged looking selfie. I hope this becomes the first picture people see when they Google my name.
If you want to find out where a Mastodon instance is silenced/suspended, you can use this useful Google search string:
<instance domain> inurl:/about/more
where <instance domain> is the root domain of the instance you are checking.
You will get results from instances that have silenced/suspended the instance you are searching for, minus those with strict robot.txt or obfuscated domain names in the block list.
An informal measure of instance quality.

I am also interested in any Internet Radio stations people might recommend to me. I love independant radio!
As some white people are, of course, trying to find some wiggle room in comparing new people coming to the fedi and the horror that is colonization, let me say this again.
If you think new people coming to the fedi is akin to COLONIZATION, you are racist, and I'm not entertaining your bullshit.
Can people be overwhelmed? Yes. Can people feel anxious? Sure. But NONE OF THOSE THINGS are tantamount to colonialism.
Discomfort with change is fine. Trying to align that experience with one of the most brutal and violent methodologies in the history of humankind is complete nonsense.
No, I am not going to debate this point.
