A wild Thunderbird has appeared!

Hello #fediverse

apparently there's a general strike planned for next week in response to the supreme court bullshit https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/volunteer

I'm booking a show for May 14th in the north (central) GA mountains.

(also June 24 and July 30, but the May show is the one I'm thinking about right now.)

If you're in a band in the area, and would like a paying gig on that date, reach out with a sample of your music.

Thanks!

For anyone going to direct actions or protests here is my protest checklist™️

- Wear all black
- Cover your face
- Don't bring a phone, if you must:
- Lock your phone with pin or password
- Disable any "smart unlock" feature
- Don't bring ID of any kind
- Don't bring payment cards of any kind
- Bring cash, water, and food
- Bring an umbrella
- Inform yourself about the protests' lawyer and write their phone # on your arm with permanent marker; if there is none:
- Make sure you know of a decent lawyer and do the same
- DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE, if you get arrested, say you want your lawyer, nothing else

My favorite version of this song, Happy #MayDay

Every time the cockatoo departs, it does this funny backwards dive off the ledge.

I'm pleased to note that even https://dolphin.town, my Mastodon server where the only letter you are allowed to post is "e", has seen increased activity in the last few days.

Thanks Eeeeelon!

The guy that invented godzilla just said that "godzilla" is pronounced "jodzilla"

#OtD 27 Apr 2018 bus drivers with the Ryobi Group in Okayama, Japan, began a "fare strike" driving as normal but refusing to charge passengers. They were demanding better job security amidst increased competition. It continued until mid-May.

This year's #chicks say hi, Fediverse!
