Michael Porter<p>If the alt text in your media is an unhelpful, undescriptive, single word… You might want to reconsider putting “Writer” in your bio.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/SubToot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SubToot</span></a></p>
Wrenasaurus Tex :trans_heart:<p>Ooof. Sorry about the rage post regarding e.l.f.</p><p>I actually woke up in a really good mood. Felt pretty good, had breakfast early. My coffee was caffeinated. I was laughing and giggling all morning long. </p><p>Okay enough of letting Anger steer the train. Got it out of my system.<br>We don't want to kill Joy!</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Thomas Bourgenot<p>J'adore les LFIstes qui, lorsque tu émets une critique sur leur grand leader, viennent t'expliquer que t'es "matrixé·e par les médias Bolloré".</p><p>Vraiment, changez rien.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Subtoot</span></a></p>

Trivial Einstein<p>You are already bowing to Republican fascism. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>Look, I'm a student of history. There haven't been all that many fascist governments, so saying, "In all of recorded history no fascist government has ever been removed by democratic means," may be accurate but it's a bit like saying that in all of recorded history no one named William Henry Harrison has ever served more than thirty days as president. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p><p>I happen to agree that we're unlikely to be able to vote our way out of our current situation, by the way, but to say that the handful of fascist governments of the Twentieth Century give sufficient predictive data to determine how things are likely to go with us is facile.</p>
Trivial Einstein<p>...headed? <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>Fascism is not rule by a dictator. That's dictatorship. It has a word already. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SubtootingAScreenshotOfADifferentPlatformForFucksSake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SubtootingAScreenshotOfADifferentPlatformForFucksSake</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>I'm going to be that asshole, but we haven't been "sacked" by modern Nazis. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p><p>If you're making Roman Empire comparisons, we're currently in the "slide into decline due to corrupt management" period. And anyway, Rome didn't really get sacked, per se. Yes, the city itself did, but by that point "Rome" and Rome weren't the same thing. Most of the "barbarian hordes" you hear about "sacking" Rome were nothing of the sort.</p><p>History doesn't repeat itself. It echoes sometimes, but we're our own thing. Do the responsible thing and stop using history as a prediction. Also actually read history so you stop making embarrassing mistakes when you use it to predict things.</p>
Jonathan T<p>Every time I idly wonder how Smilodon or any other sabre-toothed cat could possibly open its mouth wide enough to bite into anything with such large teeth I see either my own cat - or a video of a cat - yawning and the doubt is removed.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FossilFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFriday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/SubToot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SubToot</span></a></p>

Corvid Crone<p>"kids don't socialize anymore! They're always on their phones on social media"</p><p>Rewind, say that again slowly. Kids don't socialize anymore because they are socializing on their phone?</p><p>Are you mad that they aren't paying attention to you? Are you mad that kids are socializing in a different way than you did? </p><p>This is like saying that Jane Austen didn't communicate with her relatives she didn't live with because she was writing letters to them instead of embroidering in the same room together.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Gemini6Ice<p>I took a look at their account and I honestly don’t think it would be that bad to keep them blocked from your server <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>That is in no way what Plato was talking about. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Trivial Einstein<p>What, precisely, do you think you're adding to the conversation by asking me whether I want to have a conversation about something? <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
Kim<p><span>Dear $person_who_isn't_on_here: Stop giving me unsolicited emotional labour because you know that people are more likely to respond positively if a plan is proposed by me rather than you.

Trivial Einstein<p>"Polarization" is an interesting word to use. Yes, the nation is "polarized" between people who consume two different "poles" of information. One of those "poles" is accurate. One of them is fascism. But yes, I'm sure that the problem is that the people who consume accurate information are "biased" against fascism. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/subtoot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>subtoot</span></a></p>
