This right here. 👇
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Touch grass, go outside, because it’s necessary:

This is a shocking bill designed to crush Democracy and dissent. It will give Trump the ability to declare any non profit a terror supporting organization and shut them down. If you missed this, now you know. This must be stopped now!

NEW: The Guardian newspaper has just announced it will no longer post on X.

It says it's due to "often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories & racism...X is a toxic media platform.”

The problem with being polycraftual is that I can’t decide between
#knitting on a blanket or sock.
#spinning some luscious cormo in 3 natural colors for a sweater
Starting to wind a warp for a new #weaving project. 5 #looms, all naked. Or using some #handwoven fabric and #sewing a bag.

I was never a Twittler user. So here I am, with little to no idea why I’m here, or what to do with this platform.

It seems the main goal is follow as many people and have them follow you back. Aiming for the most ‘interactions’. How does one keep up?
