This #censorship is not surprising from #Musk, but we all need to reach out and encourage folks to join us on #mastodon. We need people to communicate securely about their experiences with mass government firings, security breaches, and total loss or privacy with the capture of all our financial data across multiple agencies #Treasury #IRS #socialsecurity #SBA. So many people need assistance now. Our role should be as #helpers. disruptionist.com/p/elon-musks #signal #secure #messaging #DM

Just a random shoutout to the rescuers everywhere.
First responders, volunteers, who don't need orders, who know what has to be done without asking and do it right away, who organize, connect, communicate, distribute, rescue, support. Even if they have no idea about it, they are the true anarchists!
Thank you for your service! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Fresh snowfall

A "what's left in the fridge?" stew that seemed doubtful, but turned out to be delicious. (Note to self: food shopping tomorrow)

The fact that there are more good people than bad.
Look for the helpers. Support the helpers.
The power of community

This is more of a rhetorical question for the #homeassistant family, but here's a question that came up using #helpers.

How could I use helped to create a new binary sensor around the proximity of two other sensor's numbers?

Example, HA's proximity integration has "distance" sensors. If I wanted to create a "together" sensor that turns on when the two distance sensors are within 1 mile of each other.... can that be accomplished via helpers?

Nothing jumped out at me on first glance.

Two days ago I posted some pictures of the sky after a storm. Today feels a bit like that.

Yesterday’s election in the United States did not turn out as I had hoped, and many of my friends and family today are dismayed, amazed, disappointed, angry, and feeling a host of emotions underpinned by fear for the future. I share their feelings. At the same time, I remind myself that the results were actually quite close, and Democrats remained hopeful right up until the end. That tells me that all is not lost.

As I reflect today on the US election I remember how the first sounds I heard during the previous day’s storm were of the emergency service vehicles going to help people who had suffered from the damage caused by the strong winds. Trees had been blown down, branches fell on power lines, and the power was out for hours in many locations. Yet, in the midst of it all, there were people fighting against the weather to go and help others.

There is, I feel, a parallel there for those who feel devastated in America. First, you are not alone. Half of the population shares your pain. Second, there are helpers out there and as soon as they can they will be coming to do whatever they can to bring comfort and support.

The progressive politicians will have to regroup and rethink their policies and their messaging, and they will need the support of forward-looking members of the public. In fact, the path to the next election begins today not with television advertising and emotional podcasts but with local support for positive change and for people in need.

No matter what happens in the offices of power, local action and local support will be, and always have been, the foundation for changes that assist people who need aid and comfort. A powerful wind has caused some damage, but the damage can be fixed, and as Fred Rogers often said, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

After Monday’s storm had passed the sun set behind the dark clouds and the contrast was a thing of beauty. The sun is a beautifully constant source of heat and light, and storms will always be temporary. I know this doesn’t address any of the issues we fear may come, but I just wanted to focus on today and remind myself of the power of small mercies.

I am in danger. I have twin brothers and one of them is threatening #violence on the other, so I took my brother away from that situation. My life is in danger now. My bio mom is physically stalking all of us and will not stop. Please help me pay my lawyer for protection!

I hate to post again, but I have been infected badly for two weeks and my medical needs are desperate and my food is low. I've had severe bronchitis, infections, and almost ended up in the ER twice with inability to breathe. My partner is also sick - I need #help.

🚨 EDIT: I HAVE ENOUGH FOR MY HEART MEDS AND ADVAIR AND MAYBE OTHER MEDS, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! and my heart meds aren't covered by insurance. I can't afford to live or breathe. This is my last attempt to keep myself alive - no use when universe tells me to die.

🚨 I have not had enough to eat in a solid week, maybe 1 full meal on two days. I need #helpinghand if there's any to spare. I'm not kidding. Plus, my debit card got hacked for a huge amount that I'm disputing, so I can't even use that card and have to try it through apps.
