  1. RE: mastodon.world/@AaronDavid/117

    The world looks at America, the way America looks at Florida man.

    "Oh, that crazy guy. What has he done *now*?!?"

    #America is the #FloridaMan of the world.

  2. First DCFC (DC Fast Charge) with the rental #Polestar2 at the #ElectrifyAmerica outside of Winter Garden, Florida and…. Boy do I miss the charging speeds of the #ioniq5 already. 😢 Only saw a brief (>90 seconds) period of charging greater than 100kW.

    But otherwise, have managed to engage full vacation mode. #FloridaMan

  3. At least half the country — if not more — identifies as center left. That's a lot of people for DeSantis to "destroy." Republicans haven’t won the popular vote since 2004 for a reason. They can gerrymander themselves into power and install right-wing hack judges thanks to the Electoral College, but that doesn’t mean they’ve won any ideological argument.

  4. The #Florida Department of Law Enforcement — a body with a $300 million budget and 2,000 employees — is meant to be tackling major crime including violence and drugs.

    Instead, #DeSantis has “weaponized” it to crackdown on political issues central to his conservative agenda — including election fraud, immigration and targeting political opponents.

  5. Where did I disappear to all week?!

    I haven’t posted in a few days because my kids got a “surprise” three days off school when their district went on strike. Instead of making it a mini vacation, we turned it into a learning experience.

    I took the girls to walk the picket line all three days, despite pouring down rain on Day 1. They learned who we were supporting (contrary to assumptions, it wasn’t the teachers striking but the “invisible” school employees like bus drivers, custodians, aides, and cafeteria staff) and why (poverty wages with no increase to compensate for additional workload, plus general unfair labor practices).

    We love our school and know how hard the support staff works. We believe what they’re asking for is fair. We’re glad we were able to show up and stand alongside them.

    The girls learned some great lessons about unions and using their voices. They’re back at school today, and I’m back to posting my fun funeral stuff. Take a moment though and think about all of the invisible workers who keep the school running behind the scenes. They care about the kids too. They wouldn’t be suffering such low pay if they didn’t. 💜❤️

  6. The evolution of the city of #Miami can be traced by its pronunciation by the "locals" (which, in itself, is a term that wasn't truly accurate until the 21st century).

    In 1965, it was My-am-uh.

    In 1970, it was My-am-ee.

    Since the mid-1980's, it's been Mee-am-ee.

    #Florida, man.

    #FloridaMan, born of the #fetid #swamp upon which we uneasily live.
