I'm seeing posts encouraging those new to Mastodon to post an introduction with biographical information. I did not do that when I joined in early December and apologize for the oversight. Here's some biographical information:

I'm a retired academic (Ph.D. in theology) with a husband who is also a retired Ph.D. in theology. As a gay couple now in our 51st year together, we found ourselves very much unwelcome and unwanted in the Catholic institutions in which we taught.

I'm committed to solidarity with those pushed to the margins of society due to race, gender, sexual identity, national or ethnic origin, economic status, etc. I have a strong interest in and commitment to pushing back against the claim of the religious right to own God. I am strongly committed to pushing back against the use of that claim to justify constant attacks on perceived "enemies."

All of this is at least part (if not all) of who I am, and iis central to why I'm here.

"Zuckerberg’s announcement comes as CEOs and business leaders across sectors are currying favor with the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump. Meta, along with other tech companies, donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, and ahead of the election, Zuckerberg praised Trump in an interview with Bloomberg Television without offering an outright endorsement."

@wdlindsy

Very soon will be an unspoken (might be spoken 🤷) but defacto "rule" that any media entity that has not "donated' to Chump will be in the legal sights for retribution.

Will be publicly displayed open bribery.

Chump will be shielded by SCROTUS immunity ruling.

Then psbly expand that "rule" to other entities/businesses.

Chump will gain more money during this reign than at any other time in his life.

Chump's legacy: most venal occupant of the oval office in US history.

"Because Meta is such a dominant force in the industry, the changes will resonate even more widely, reshaping whole swaths of the internet in MAGA-friendly ways."

"Mark Zuckerberg just announced sweeping changes to the social internet, all in line with the desires of President Trump and Trump voters.

Out with the fact-checkers that conservatives deride. In with more permissive rules for posting opinions that conservatives hold dear."
