Please don't forget local, small businesses and independent businesses during the coronavirus crisis.

If your income hasn't changed or you are able to, please think of music lesson teachers, hairdressers, bakers, massage therapists, trainers, lawn maintenance workers, yoga teachers, non-chain restaurants, childcare workers...anyone in your circle who depends on you as regular clientele.

Consider paying them anyway even if you can't keep appointments now. These people have no other income.

Sunday's episode of Last Week Tonight is available on YouTube for free.

John Oliver clearly, coherently explains social distancing and why it's necessary to save lives. He also debunks misinformation and explains why we need to ignore it. It's important.

Please watch the whole thing, tell others to, and listen. #SaveLives

People need to realize two things:

1) There is a lot of legitimate racism being provoked by the coronavirus and we should not tolerate that.

2) Identifying china as the source of the virus or criticizing their choices that led about this tragedy is not racism.

in italy if the police cordons catch ya outside in a quarantine zone its an on the spot fine, and if they catch ya outside and youre a confirmed carrier then its a homicide charge and yer going to jail

My internet is SO much freer and uncensored than my college's it's not even funny

Went to check out twitter again the past couple days. wow...so many pronouns in bios. so much leftist nonsense being spouted.

@alex Don't get me wrong people take Gab's failings way too personally, and it's annoying (or hilarious, depending on which side of the bed you wake up in) but it's not like people are mad for no reason. People invested a lot of time and money into this project that rarely delivers anything competent @realcaseyrollins @gab

@alex Idr the details, cause I haven't really been in the same crowd as ex Gablins since I first joined Fedi in... July, I think? I remember claims that parody accounts of Torba were banned (no evidence, but realistically how could there be?) I also know that people have gotten banned for shilling other instances before, cause Gab's gotta keep raking in those boomer bucks. Can't have people leaving just because they provide a poor service.

That's not even the biggest issue though. Gab also blocks Tor and has a history of turning over user info to the Feds without a warrant, so they can't be trusted with privacy. Of course, there is never any transparency regarding anything they do, because Gab are probably the worst marketers on the planet Earth and if there is a way to make themselves look bad they will find it. Oh, and nevermind the unacceptably slow bug fixes that are only needed in the first place because the devs were haphazard and broke everything when they forked Mastodon. Even now, I'm pretty sure 90% of images from other sites still just don't federate to Gab for... who knows what reason? You will rarely ever have these issues with other "free speech" instances, but they're all concentrated here, wonder why that is 🤔
