Gander: The Social Media You Want, Built for Canada
Fun, private, and ethical. We're changing the way social media is done around here, all without your personal data taking an unexpected trip down south.
Busy day for our Early Access Program yesterday.
Lots of sign-ups (thank you!) and also some error messages (sorry). We've fixed the issue.
If you didnβt get through yesterday, please give it another try by following this link:

A photo looking down through a window at what i assume is protestors marching through a borough in Minsk.
Text from Balarus Free Theatre reads, "Protestors in Minsk have adopted a different protesting technique and instead of one large gathering they are now grouping in local boroughs. This way there is not enough police to go around all boroughs."
Additional commentary by Syndicalist Trash Panda reads, "LAPD can handle 1 10,000 person march, but 10 1,000 person marches across the city would cripple us"

"In the 20th century alone, it is estimated that governments with a monopoly on the instruments of force slaughtered over 200 million largely unarmed and defenseless people."

"But should the government forget this basic principle, the people maintain the practical power that comes with being armed for their own defense. The threat of tyranny and oppression is very real, even today.*

"A well-armed citizenry acts as a major check on the ability of would-be tyrants, enabling the people to forcibly resist oppression. In the [US], our constitutional system is premised on the theory that, in a truly free society, ultimate power lies with the people and not with the government."

We live in the information age, and yet stupidity and ignorance seem to be at an all-time high.
It's time to make education great again!

Fleeing the LA fires alone on a wheelchair: βI had to take my chancesβ
An evacuation order when the Eaton fire threatened Galen Buckwalterβs Sierra Madre home triggered a nightmare odyssey through chaotic streets
Galen Buckwalter, 68, shared with me his harrowing tale of being forced to flee the Eaton fire alone on his wheelchair through dark streets and fierce winds, dodging debris as fire neared his home.
βIn emergencies, disabled people are the last to get servicesβ¦We have no system. Youβre on your ownβ

I caught myself using "ME/CFS" in a forum, then wondered why i used that name when i purposefully try to only use "ME" to label this illness.
It's cause i didn't wanna exclude ppl Dxed w/ CFS.
But we do have a better alternative that researchers are starting to use!
"ME (formerly known as CFS)".
