Osiyo. I am a 56 year old trans woman of Saawanwaki (Shawnee,)Tsalagi (Cherokee,) and Scots-Irish descent. I love to cook and I make weirdo music. I don't like mean people, or fascists. Bigots and antisemites, regardless of the reasons for their hatred, can fuck off. Life is my religion, and the world is my church.

Last Notes npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves don't think it's for me, but that's a damn fine TUI there! npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves that is tremendously good tea! Of course my fave afternoon tea is Prince Of Wales, since I’m old and cannot drink the amount of caffeine I did thirty years ago. If I did my heart would surely burst. And I take it with oat milk and stevia. A delightful tea it is. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves to be honest, I generally do not trust any voices about technology coming from Silicon Valley. I am very much over these rich, mostly white psychopaths with messiah complexes. How about "Palo Alto Networks" can consume copious amounts of fecal material? Yeah. They can do that. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves yes. Of course you can just quite those sites and apps. Nothing good comes from them. And these creeps are the ones who are trying to kill personal liberty and privacy, with "age attestation" laws and even maybe a US Federal law mandating ID at the os level. Social media is okay, but I wonder: Do we need it? Do we need computers at all? I think not on both accounts. Just quit using those services. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves while I am certified not a Canadian, can I submit Kim Mitchell, or is “Go For Soda” a little too obvious? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves and why can't I get a nice mince pie in the Seattle area? I mean, I've honestly never had any meat pies, and while I know of a few pubs that are English and Irish around here, I don't think they make them. But I know enough to be craving them. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves how possibly easy would it be to not use the AI portion of it? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Has English food now succumbed to the notion that people just don’t want plates or regular dishes, but they want their mash served in a garden trowel? Looks good regardless, but most people use actual dishes, unlike the seemingly endless hipster bistro attempts at looking ‘rustic’ or something. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I’m glad they made it. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves 8gb of ram in the base. Not impressed by that. Minimum should be 16, or maybe even 32 by now. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I must have reported five or six yesterday, and did ensure that all the other federated servers were notified as well. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves It's always been the foreign policy of the UNITED SNAKES OF AMERICA. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves excellent! I was in my forties when I started, am 56 now and still happy with my decision. Go you! npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves love to see it. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves sort of reminds me of Canada and their “starlight tours.” You should look that up, it’s disturbing. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves maybe, but how many more people need to get murdered before everyone takes up arms? At some point, you choose to be herded into compliance, then camps, or you take some of them with you. If it does come to that, then all bets are off and I won't be nice about it. I am a Partisan at heart, and will do my part by any means necessary. Yes, we do need a Second American Revolution, and I won't be moved from that position by entreaties to peace. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I am not talking about doing that, but I will literally shoot any intruder in my home, IDGAF what reason they are there. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves okay, we'll just let them kick us around some more. Sure. Tell me how that worked out at Wounded Knee, or in Philly when an entire city block was bombed to kill poor black people. Tell me, the senior, disabled trans woman, not to stand up for myself and my community? Nah. They already think I'm a terrorist anyway, because I don't believe in Jesus, I'm queer and trans. If they come into your home univited, good luck. YOU BETTER HIDE PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME! npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Okay, so instead of endlessly posting about all the bad, nasty awful stuff, I’m going to play a little game, and it would be fun if others joined in. Troy McClure, Simpson character. You need to format like this: “Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from such films as” ( two movie names, no matter how creative or outrageous.) Here goes; “Hi, I’m Troy McClure! You may remember me from such films as The Sexual Temptation Of Christ, and Mommy, Why Is Daddy Dancing With The Milkman?” https://cdn.masto.host/turtleislandsocial/media_attachments/files/115/831/500/462/105/290/original/da91f977790c3d9a.jpeg npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves New year, new war, right? This shit stain of a so called country can kiss my ass forever. Now you Europeans, do me a favor and shut the fuck up with the blame game? I’ve already seen a few pretty much state that all of this country is MAGA or something, so it’s our responsibility to fix it. We don’t need arrogant opining from Europe or Canada, we need support, solidarity, and direction. It’s not like Europe would ever defend the American people, not anymore. I don’t know. Let it die. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I don't do thanksgiving. Don't bother with the "family" either, because they're a bit regressive for my taste, and I would be violently attacked if I tried to visit. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves rest assured that somebody somewhere will make something better, and far less expensively. Microsoft doesn’t have a great track record, and they, like Google, kill more projects than they ever start. This said, gaming is so little a thing on my radar anymore. I like Minecraft. That’s it. Well, that and older Doom2 engine games. I won’t be buying a pc any time soon, let alone a fancy video card. This stuff just isn’t for me. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I see this going the same way it went for them with Windows Phone, Windows 8, the tangled mess that was MSN/Hotmail/Live Mail, etc. Nobody who has an Xbox, which is mostly used on a television, is going to be interested in plugging in keyboard and mouse, plus necessary table space for said items. It’s not going to be very successful for them. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves not sure what SAT scores have to do with this. I took them once, didn’t do well. I don’t rob and shoot people. SAT scores don’t mean shit to real people. Fuck the American university system. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves In the ‘stupid criminals doing stupid things while criming dept;’ https://mynorthwest.com/crime-blotter/seattle-armed-robbery/4147601 npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves that motherfucker! I guess that my Uncle and my Grandpa, both Shawnee men who fought against Nazis in WW2, were just pretending in order to get a credential to run for office? Why do you think they don't do town halls anymore? They are very afraid of what is coming, and they should be. 40 millions empty bellies, not adding the family members of those 40 million, equals a whole shit ton of angry, hungry people. Scott Perry should fear the guillotine, not Trump. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I still haven’t seen but one or two episodes of it. My ethics are such that I might get to see it anyway, and it has nothing to do with subscribing to Disney+. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves lovely! All I can think about is bringing a couple of percussion mallets and contact mics and a recorder to make some old school industrial noise. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves or just stop using that Gnome garbage. Nobody is required to use Gnome. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I wonder how many of those middle fingers are for the flag generally? Honestly, I won’t let that rag fly in my home, under any circumstance. I get the No Kings thing, but instead of that, I believe LAND BACK, and the entire government must be handed over to Indigenous Nations, without delay and without question. “America” no longer has a say in this. You’ve had your chance, nearly wiped out so many of our relatives, and now this is where we are. #LandBackNOW npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Okay software developers, Linux folks, et al. Time for a rant. I know you all love what you do, and a lot of you make very great things. The problem though is that y’all somehow think you know better than the average computer user about what a system or a user needs or do not need. X11. I cannot afford new hardware. I run old stuff. Xorg is fine. Wayland runs like shit for me, no matter the implementation. Do not talk over me telling me I’m wrong. 1/? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves aristocrats should not exist. They must be taxed at around a level of 98%. WTF are aristocratic people for, anyway? Being idle rich, parasites who suck off the system? In my opinion they, like billionaires, can be dehumanized. As they have traded humanity for gold, let them be comforted by their riches, just so long as they stay in their place, sit down, shut up, and not vote. Yeah, I also don’t think they should be allowed to vote. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves that is the primary issue with being any sort of an artist. You simply have absolutely no say or control over how other people view what you’ve created, or how they interpret it. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves although I do see it was just this person complaining about a blocklist. I get that. But, again, I submit, you get what you pay for. And there’s no “free” VPN that I would ever trust with my data, or, for example, the data that my wife generates as a Licensed Clinical Therapist. That would be a massive HIPPAA violation waiting to happen. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves hahaha nope! This is some honeypot shit right here for sure. Free? VPN? Your data is not secure with this company. No such thing as “free” DNS, there’s always a catch, and it’s probably your personal data. No thanks. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Denny’s at 5:30 in the morning? And you walked willingly into the Denny’s? I will say prayers for you or something. But yes, New Jack Swing this bloody early in the AM is not necessarily the greatest thing. Hope you enjoy your breakfast though. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves there's no such thing as a "good" anything in the united snakes of america. Fuck the usa. #LandBack npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves interesting that I still don't see many people who give a shit about the fact of the LLMs and techbro nazis using too much energy, especially water. None of your or my concerns are more important than this particular issue. Not only is AI a scam, it's also a dead end for humanity. All so Zuck can feel like a big man on his private island while the rest of us burn, starve and have no water to drink. #DeathToLLMs #DeathToAI #TechBrosAreNazis npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves no more data centers for anyone! If I were a Spanish farmer, I would do like that one Frenchman did, every time they tried to build a McDonald's, he fucking bulldozed it, of his own accord. That's what they should do. DESTROY THEM. WE DO NOT NEED THE INTERNET! npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves and this is why I won’t touch any ai bullshit, at all, for any reason. I even wiped Ubuntu (South African billionaire company in bed with fascists and tech bros) and am now happily running LMDE6. Our software choices are political. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Something a Roman emperor would do is get stabbed in the back a bunch of times. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves can we please remove my name from this? It makes it look like I’m an antisemite or Holocaust revisionist. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves At this point, why should we not all block mastodon.social? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves is it possible to upgrade to Beta status from daily? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves yes, precisely this. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I’ve noticed that there are apparently some Calendar improvements, but I’ve looked at the bug tracker and I don’t think they will ever support biweekly recurrent appointments. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves can I just give you a huge shout out? Yours are usually the first string of posts I ever see in the morning, and I just wanted to say that I appreciate your photos and the calm and peace they bring me. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves Dang, she's pretty. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves no offense, but this is the least of my worries right now. Yes, we should double down on joy and hope and all that, but I'm here wondering if me and my wife are going to be put into camps by our new President/Fuhrer. npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves what's your Channel? npub1qq0hwtcv7c84lalg2w5audvuzdgldu8zrt70x6jq54ev76pty54qx6mk76 Callista Graves I just turned 55, but I still love the name ROCK KICKASS. If it's stupid enough for Homer Simpson, it works for me!
