@chris Thanks for sharing! I just completed survey and also mentioned Mastodon. Anyone who drives in Canada, or sits in the front seat of a car in Canada, should complete this survey. Boost and share with everyone you know. Change only happens if we speak out. Bright headlights are not safe.

Jouissance is an attempt to “flee from the flesh”, to ignore one’s own/others bodies in an effort to target the very void which is usually veiled or from which one tries to keep a distance as “being human” also means being attracted to that which destroys. For some, however, that inhibition is gone.

An interesting development from the Gander Social front... Amber Mac confirms this may have been a rug pull. #canada #fediverse #gander

A facebook post from Arlene Dickinson reading "Folks, some news to share with you on Gander Social from Amber Mac and me.
We are both not involved with Gander as investors or advisors. We respect their ongoing efforts and wish them well in the future."

Comment from Chad Ohman reading "I’ve known you since the Call for Help era, Amber. I am feeling like this is a rug pull?" to which Amber Mac replied "Hi! Thanks for following. I think the rug has been pulled out from under us, frankly, as we have tried to support Gander, but they made a big pivot along the way, so I'm not too keen to have my name attached. Their priority seems to be crowdfunding vs. advisors/investors. I tried!"
