Alright, here's a long thread. This will get ugly and uncomfortable, as I'm going to be talking about my own experience with institutional LGBTQ discrimination as it relates to the death of my mate, so I'll understand if you mute this because you can't handle it right (1/17)
Probably the 9/11 attacks. After the first plane hit, my school principal had the teachers turn on the news in each room, so then the entire school watched as the second plane hit live.
@TalonAndroid Hello do you think you could reuse your skills and experience to build a Mastodon/ActivityPub client for Android?
Tweetbot and Tweeterrific are actually creating iOS Mastodon clients.
On Android we are lacking a solid high end polished client. You could be the one.
Twitter has clarified their position. From this point on, apps that attempt to recreate the Twitter experience will not be allowed to access Twitter services. Unfortunately, this ultimately means that Talon will cease to work.

... With no explanation of what those rules are. More importantly, they're confirming that this ISN'T an outage or glitch. With that, I'm out, as it basically renders Twitter unusable. Find me on mastodon @[email protected].
This is the second time this week a kid has sent me their home address unsolicited asking for a fursuit.
Internet saftey is not a joke. You do not know me. I am a stranger to you.
PLEASE take your safety online more seriously.
The AR-15 is more common than Ford F-150, by a factor of 3. And the F-150 is the best-selling vehicle in America.
When you see an F-150 drive by you on the street, think "that represents 3 AR-15s".
For all those who are , rather shamefully, taking potshots at a recovering stroke victim recently elected to the Senate, please note that there is a vast difference between a recovering brain capacity and a limited one haplessly attempting to cover-up bad behavior.
Heartbreaking. No, I won't retweet the footage of the Nepal crash itself. I'll be looking forward to @HornfeldtPetter putting out a video on @MenTourPilot about the accident, since I know he'll treat it respect.
@RedFuchs_ https://t.co/UpY8WY8vC3 (where my main account resides) is much more generous in terms of upload capabilities. I'm seriously considering just hosting my AD there.
One tool that's been immensely helpful in moving to Mastodon has been https://t.co/jiFyWOdQIv. It'll connect to your twitter and mastodon accounts, look through your twitter follows, find those folks on Mastodon, and give you the option to follow them there.
For some reason, I've had less luck migrating my #AfterDark account, though. I'm not sure if it's because folks just aren't migrating their AD accounts to Mastodon, or if something else is going on, but my AD is looking pretty empty over there.
You'll want to re-run it periodically as more folks migrate to Mastodon so you can fill in missing follows. It's been a huge help, as losing track of folks is my main concern during this transition.
