2 Threaded Spouts
I really want to use this site more, but am having the hardest time finding a community/rebuilding my follow list from the bird app. My kingdom for a tool that can be used to scrape the names of my follows there and input it here to find who's migrated over. I would leave that hell hole in a second.

I'd love the ability to mute or throttle peoples' respouts on my timeline, or whatever they're called. Some of y'all RS way too much but I still want to see their/your original thoughts (on occasion)

Still waiting for someone to write a script we can run to search the users of this here website to find the people we followed (with identical handles) on the bird app who've migrated over, so we can rebuild our lists and leave that fascist breeding ground. Anyone? #spoutiblesuggestions @Spoutible

Not to mention that 5 of the 9 were nominated by presidents who had lost the popular vote.
And this ignores the one who breaks laws willy-nilly if it financially benefits his family, and is ethically bankrupt.

Another shooting. This time in Louisville. This is the America the GOP wants. Free reign for people to 🔫 down whoever pisses them off at will, and forcing uterus-havers to birth more bodies to 🔫. The only thing the GOP cares about is providing more targets to practice on.

"Say It Loud" may have lost James his crossover audience in 1968, but for Blacks, it was anthemic. Its significance has grown even more since its release and it is still a source of pride generations later. This clip adds historical context to the song. #wokesongs #JamesBrown

But for icing my knee and my sleeping dog, that person and I would be friends.

Rep. Justin Jones was an activist who played a role in the bust of racist KKK leader Nathan Bedford Forrest being taken down from the Tennessee Capitol. Which a lot of folks in that chamber last night protested and got pissed off about. They have had it in for him since day 1
