I caught Dolores trying on my sandals. #CatsOfMastodon

@aral I got the bank to stop payment on the small theft. The $12k (not my money, but funds I oversee for a club) is still missing, and under multiple investigations.

@aral @ncrav @punkscience_ns I just discovered that someone did a $531 wire transaction from my account without any effective verification other than having my account number (from a previously washed and stolen check for $12,000). For all the security theater my bank puts me through, they sure don't have eyes on actual theft.

@aral 🤬

@aral I had never heard this particular flavor of Islamophobia until I visited a Turkish friend in Iceland. Not a day went by without some Icelander lecturing me about the dangers of being seen in public with a Muslim. It would immediately become this "fundamental differences" talk that was supposed to make me afraid of discrimination by association. I couldn't help but realize how many places in Europe I'd felt welcome in because I was white and alone or with white-passing friends.

@aral
"Westernity" is a hell of a drug.

@aral Feeling sympathetic post-cast aches. May they be brief!

@aral This is a major plot point in Tristram Shandy! https://people.duke.edu/~wmr/hsetrist.htm

@aral
All that is to say, I support you. There is nothing wrong with your post. The Fediblock hashtag is becoming unreliable for admins and that is going to be a massive problem for everyone here.

@aral
I am having a really hard time with all the Fediblock posts that amount to "This server allows rhetoric that I personally find slightly exaggerated, so no one on anyone's server should ever have access to anyone on theirs ever again." Block everyone for any reason! Defederate according to your own server's rules, all you want! But demanding a unified defederation by everyone on a hashtag most of us trust to keep pedophiles/genociders/scammers from getting to our people...?
