I'm now on Threads @nekomeishi_ . It seems like a better option than Mastodon, as nobody actually goes there but math and photography enthusiasts. Anyway, fuck Twitter.
This will likely be my last post on Twitter. I'm hoping to see people I follow on Mastodon, or eventually, some other, better social network. In the meantime, I'm @[email protected] there.

Prepping my escape pod from this site; will give more info when I've decided between Post and Mastodon. I've looked at Mastodon and been pretty meh, though, so maybe Post will win by default.
Stochastic terror becomes real terror. Those dead in the LGBTQ+ bar Club Q only died hours ago. They were to have a drag brunch today.
Libs of TikTok is attacking another drag brunch in Colorado and a trans legislator only hours later.
Elon Musk let them stay on the platform.
