- Dem campaign page + Donation page
- State
- Position (State Rep, Senator, Board of Supervisors, etc)
- Disctrict or County
and i'll post whatever interesting stuff i find as i make this and have to google chump-maga-names

History has just been made with far too little acknowledgment:
President #Biden sat down with The Washington Blade — marking the first time a sitting president has given an exclusive interview to an #LGBTQ+ news outlet.

Yet another reason to vote for Democrats.
Republicans don't want marriage equality, Trans care, or LGBTQ people to have civil rights.

👍
The article has "newspaper" rather than "news outlet."
I think Out magazine's cover story interview with President Obama would be the first with a "news outlet."
OK, so a vote on the future direction for the monthly Queer Romance Club. Note you don’t have to already be a participant to vote, just thinking about what might make it easier if you DO want to participate.

I'm pretty much Kool-Aid-Manning my way into your conversation, so my apologies and please feel free to flame me to a crisp if there's too much "well actually..."
I just wanted to check: are you aware that BookWyrm and Mastodon can talk to each other, so you can have the organization of BookWyrm while still using Mastodon?
I (@ToddPM) can follow my BookWyrm account (@ToddPM@bookrastinating.com) here and interact with it.

I do know it's possible, though I haven't tried it. Parts of the interface in BookWyrm are less than intuitive. I really should figure out how to do it. Got any tips?

All I've done is a quick back + forth to make sure Mastodon comments show up on BookWyrm and vice versa.
If you already have a BookWyrm username on your instance, plug that into Mastodon like you would if you were to follow any other Mastodon user.
Maybe everyone in your book club doesn't even need to get a separate BW account. If one BW user is "reading" a book, they can all comment from Mastodon.

Oh, that's kinda nice! I followed my own BookWyrm account here. And the book I just added there showed up in my Mastodon timeline.

Researchers have developed a type of concrete that uses discarded shells to trap water. It's now combating floods and food waste in urban gardens and along cycling paths. #ClimateChange
There are certainly areas where third-party developers and open-source projects provide a better experience than Apple's own apps. Consider replacing five macOS apps with these third-party replacements.

Twelve states will soon decide who will run their elections. That office is directly on the ballot in seven states; in five others, voters will elect a governor or lawmakers who’ll then appoint the elections chief.

Friends, I need your help. I know that Instagram isn't the most popular platform on here, but I recently discovered that I need 10,000 Instagram followers before Meta will start paying me to post all the silly stuff I post on Threads. I am currently 3,068 followers away from that goal.
So to be blunt, if you have an Instagram account and are willing to follow me on there, it would mean the world to me. Here is a link that I hope you will find to be most clickable:
