I feel like I need to say this as an aside for all of the new followers that I have been getting recently, there are many spam and p*** bot accounts that have been appearing again recently with the influx of new users. Because of this when I check your account if you have not posted anything I need to assume that you are likely a Spam account, really just do an introductory post of "hello I'm new I am real" that at least gives me something to work on.

Elon Musk’s Twitter banned Thursday the accounts of multiple journalists covering the technology industry without explanation.
Accounts belonging to CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, the New York Times’ Ryan Mac, and the Washington Post’s Drew Harwell and several other tech journalists were all abruptly suspended.
“Elon says he is a free speech champion and he is banning journalists for exercising free speech. I think that calls into question his commitment,” Harwell told CNN.
The account of progressive independent journalist Aaron Rupar was also banned. Rupar told CNN he has received no communication from Twitter about the ban. “Nothing,” he said in a phone call.
CNN has reached out to Musk and Twitter for comment.
The suspensions come after Twitter shut down an account belonging to Mastodon, an emerging competitor, also on Thursday.
The Mastodon account had tweeted earlier in the day that people could follow @ElonJet, the account that tracks Musk’s private plane on its platform, after the billionaire banned @ElonJet from Twitter on Wednesday.
That tweet is likely what ran afoul of Twitter’s rules. In his quest to rid Twitter of @ElonJet, Musk introduced new policies banning accounts that track people’s live locations.
Musk also blocked any account from linking to such information, as Mastodon did by linking to the account on its platform.
The move comes after Musk reinstated previous Twitter rule-breakers and stopped enforcing the platform’s policies prohibiting Covid-19 misinformation.
Several of the journalists banned Thursday had covered the ban of the Mastodon account and highlighted the irony of Musk’s self-purported mission to advance free speech on the platform.
“Free speech is when the world’s second-richest man threatens legal action against a 20-year-old college student for sharing publicly available data he doesn’t like,” Harwell tweeted before his account was taken down, referring to Jack Sweeney, the college student who runs @ElonJet.
CNN’s O’Sullivan, too, had been covering the story, having interviewed Sweeney and his grandmother about the issue.
“I do think this is very important for the potential chilling impact this can have for freelance journalists, independent journalists around the world, particularly those who cover Elon Musk’s other companies, like Tesla and SpaceX,” O’Sullivan told CNN Thursday.

Pretty sure the fact that so many trans people are posting pictures of their timelines/transition before and after pics WITHOUT getting banned is evidence that predstrogen was banned for a different reason

Absinthe: Let's All Panic!
When you don’t have a fancy absinthe spoon, you can make due with a fork! While increased availability and/or Magnan and Legrain’s theories swayed some back towards wine (which most experts considered harmless), a far greater number now viewed the absinthe as a guilty pleasure — which only enhanced its protracted pizzaz. This not-so-subtle brush-off made teetotalers, doctors, and winemakers…

#Repost @thejinkx
Last night my heart was broken as I learned that Tennessee’s anti Drag/Trans bill passed.
I really had more faith.
At this point, I dunno what else to say. We are fighting an uphill battle as a direct result of the progress we have made— and the insidious efforts of the conservative right (and well, ALL republicans at this point, you f*cking evil cowards)
I want to be angry, and yell, and scream. I wanna throw a brick through the window of every Chik-f*ck-A.
I wanna dismantle every press outlet that continues to give a resounding voice to vitriol and bigotry.
I wanna sit every boomer down and educate them on these issues so they stop following misinformation like sheep.
But I am so tired.
So I’m sharing the articulate words of my friend @johnpollysays

A map of bills restricting drag shows that are advancing around the country.
Dark green = bills progressing
Light green = lawmakers have expressed intention to file bills
Some bills age-restrict attendance at drag shows. Others redefine "adult businesses," which means most gay bars and even mainstream venues will not be able to get licenses they'll need to host drag shows.
Some of these bills are vaguely worded so that they can be used to arrest trans & gender non-conforming people just for existing in public.
When it comes to local drag show, brunches, Pride events… This map shows where drag performances could be criminalized.
Tennessee is set to be the first state to ban drag this Thursday 2/23. Kentucky also has Anti-LGBTQ legislation in the works. Harmful Anti-Trans legislation is being pushed through these states, too.

A letter flitters down
22/11/2022 Quebec to Dissolve
The Wizard Council votes to dissolve Quebec. News is being taken to the High Council to see if this brings war between the Wizards and non-magi as Canada is one of our allies.
Local peasant folk left in puzzlement after seeing a wizard and skeleton in a Tom and Jerry-esque chase throughout the city. City puts bans on "ridiculously large" hammers
New sub-types of wizards that specialize in different magics from mushrooms to bugs, what is next?
Skeleton blames Wizards for missing bone.
Skeletons found robbing graves causes increased officer presence and a curfew to be set for residents of the city.
Wizard finds spell that imbues milk with more calcium.
A skeleton and wizard found to be having a "rap off" or as a flee skeleton said "a battle of words and wit and mother's taking a hit."
Town folks question for skeletons; if they were human, do they still have their memories?

On March 6th 1457 King James II decreed an Act of Parliament that there should be regular target practice and military parades and that football and golf shouldn't be played.
This was the first time that the games had been mentioned in Scottish documents.
The act was as seen in the first pic, principally intended to encourage archery practice but decreed that football, and also golf, should be simultaneously discouraged. It read
"It is ordanyt and decretyt that Wapinschawing be haldin be the lordis and baronys spirituale and temporale four tymes in the yeir. And that the futebawe and the golf be uterly cryt done and not usyt." or in translation,
"It is ordained and decreed that weapon shows be held by the Lords and Barons, Spiritual and Temporal, four times a year and that footAn important source for the Scots literature of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries The Maitland Manuscripts is another early source of football being mentioned, although in this case the author isn't know, it describes "The Bewties Of The Fute-ball" this time in verse.....ball and golf be utterly cried down and not used."
Brissit brawnis and brokin banis, Stride, discord and waistie wanis. Crukit in eild syne halt withal, Thir are the bewties of the fute-ball.
The poem might be translated into modern English as,
Torn muscles and broken bones, Strife, discord and impoverished homes. Stooping in old age then lameness too, Those are the beauties of football.
It is not clear whether the poem is genuinely criticising the game for its roughness or praising it ironically for the same reason.
Going back to the act of parliament, which was repeated in 1471 and added to …….
“‘It is thocht expedient [th]at … ye futebal and golf be abusit in tym cumyng and ye buttes maid up and schot usit efter ye tenor of ye act of parlyament.’”
Translation
'It is thought necessary that … football and golf be abandoned in future and that targets should be made up and shooting practised according to the meaning of the Act of Parliament.’
A third time the act was added to was May 18th 1491
'Item it is Statut and ordanit … that in na place of the realme be usit fut bawis gouff or uther sic unprofitable sportes bot for common gud and defence of the realme be hantit bowis schuting and markis therefore ordnait in ilke paraochin under ye pane of xl [forty] sh[illings] to be rasit be the schref and bailzies forsaid.’
Translation
'Item it is Statute and ordained … that no part of the country should football, golf, or other such pointless sports be practised but, for the common good and for the defence of the country, archery should be practised and targets made up in each parish under penalty of 40 shillings to be collected by the Sheriffs and Bailiffs as previously ordained.’
This was the first time a specific penalty was mentioned.
Of course these were laws of the land, but every parish also had their own laws, often laid down by the Kirk. These were a couple of hundred years later, but the Kirk has tried to stop sport and other pastimes right up to modern times........
Church of Scotland Kirk Session minutes throughout Scotland include complaints about people playing golf when they should have been at church.
The Perth Kirk Session minute book, seen in the second pic, tells of 6 boys caught playing golf at Perth. The ringleader was fined and all were ordered to make public repentance before the congregation.
'January 2nd 1604
Sabbath
'The Visitors report that good order was keeped [kept] the last Sabbath, except that they found some young Boys playing at the Gowf [Golf] in the North Inch in Time of Preaching after noon; who were warend then by the Officiars [officers] to compeat [appear] before the Session this Day.
'Ibid [same] Cempears [appears] Robert Robertson, William Stenis, Andrew Donaldson, Alexander Niving, Adam Paul, Robert Meling, all warned to this Day, who were convicted of profaning the Lord’s Sabbath by absenting themselves from hearing of the Word, & playing at the Gowf in Time of Preaching. And therefore the Session ordained first, Robert Robertson who was Ringleader to the rest to pay an Mark to the poor, and, secondly, or dains him & the rest to compear the next Sabbath into the Place of public Repentance, there to declare their Repentance in Presence of the whole Congregation.’
Of course there are still places out in the Western Isles where, although not illegal, it is still frowned upon to play sports on a Sunday or any type of enjoyment as seen in the third pic from only last year protesters picketed the showing of The Last Jedi, the latest instalment of the space saga, at the An Lanntair arts venue in Stornoway on a Sunday. It is only ten years since the first ferries sailed on the sabbath, the Rev Angus Smith, a veteran campaigner, said the service would bring “things that terrify parents”, including shops opening seven days a week. God forbid!
