Spotted in the wild today

The external sensor on my air conditioner says it is 48°C (118.4°F) outside (in the shade). I do not like this. #Adelaide

Administering a fediverse server requires both technical ability and emotional maturity. But the latter is never covered in the documentation.

I do really like that mastodon always feels like the social media equivalent of chilling in someone's basement instead of a bucket I scream into and sometimes the bucket tries to tell me I'm not human

Idea: start referring to public transit funding initiatives as "putting an end to car trafficking"

people leave the fediverse because they are used to producing 'content' for 'an audience' instead of 'havin a laugh' with 'an unruly set of goblins' and frankly, i think that is beautiful.

I need to learn about American Constitutionalism.
Do any of y'all know a political science book that isn't hellishly long (I have two readings course, one informal readings course, and a regular course right now) that will give me some groundings?

hey any of y'all have recs for your favorite visual #anthropology?

Don’t trust anyone who’s intentionally taken a pic in front of an American flag.

Really glad to be here on the fediverse where everyone is complaining about capitalism and shitty things corporations are doing. The idea that the fediverse is apolitical is such a ridiculous joke I can't believe it has taken off. This has been the most political network I have ever been a part of. (and by this place I mean the folks whose posts make it into my filter bubble and are written in a language I can read)
