Anybody have any fun plans this week or this coming weekend?

Do you have any pre-Christmas traditions?

I don't know whether the discussion about threads now having access to mastodon has reached you yet. Many of us are queer. Many may want to be invisible to facebook/insta crowds for different reasons. If your instance does not block threads, you can do this:
type 'threads.net' into searchbar. click 'profile'. Click first profile on the list. To the right there is the little dots menu. The last entry is 'block domain'. Click. Done.
I had to ask, so I'm posting it, in case anyone doesn't know😅

I don't believe moderation will be able to keep up with threads influx. There's instances that didn't block preemptively that have already made that experience and blocked them now. I don't need more scale. I need to be able to talk to you in peace. To have good conversations and trust that enables us to really connect. I can already not keep up with everything you have to say, that I want to hear.
I enjoy the atmosphere that we have created so much, that this decision was very easy for me. In a recent survey, Instagram was the biggest recruiting ground for nazis. I remember others that said it was facebook. We already know all of this, If it was a fedi instance, It would have been blocked years ago.
Later on you may have to do this again with 'instagram.threads.net'
They are still working on their integration.
Love to you all, for creating this great space that is sooo worth contributing to and protecting.

I just found out that my landlord is raising my rent $150/mo, adding heat into my utilities, and no longer wants to accept my housing voucher. He could have told me when he decided 4 months ago, but waited until I asked him for a copy of the new lease to review. I have to be out by November 1. Like everywhere else, the #housing market is tight. I don't want to be homeless again.
I'm already exhausted and overwhelmed.
Please send kind thoughts my way @actuallyautistic
