@beaware@social.beaware.liveI feel like Fedi activity comes in waves. Anyone else feel that way?
I don't mean regarding only new registrations. I'm also talking about activity from longtime, more casual users. It's very interesting to me that for some, it's pretty noticeable when there's a dip in activity for a time and it's because a lot of users taking a break at the same time for whatever reason.🤔

@benrosstransit@mastodon.socialOde to the urban tree says we must stop cutting them down & then notes in passing that "Here in Nashville, we actually have a tree-protection ordinance, though it doesn’t apply to duplexes or single-family homes."

@pre@boing.worldukpol voting advice
Most of you should probably just stay at home and not bother voting at all. You don't understand the issues and you haven't really been paying attention and anyway you live in a safe seat where your vote makes no difference at all.
If you feel like none of the candidates are really speaking for you, it's because they take you for granted and are happy that they live in a corrupt fraudulent voting system that excludes you from power. They honestly don't care if you participate.
The country demonstrating complete apathy at the whole situation and giving as little mandate as possible might well be the best message to send.
For the one quarter or so of you who do live in an actual marginal constituency, vote anyone who could possibly win that isn't the Big Two. A hung parliament is the best hope and you get that by voting for the underdogs where they can make a difference.
Everyone outside England should vote for anyone offering to leave Westminster entirely of course. The house is corrupt beyond repair.
In Richmond, vote Binface to take out the trash.
