  • My mastodon instance is down..

    So this –my federated blog on mastodon– is where you contact me. Or on my insta account. Mastodon is where I go to get emotional support when watching a genocide play out in real time. It’s the place where you can say “are you seeing what I’m seeing?” And not get swallowed up by trolls,…
