Changes I've made over the past few months:
Deleted my Facebook account - this Fediverse account is now my primary social media presence.
Moved my primary email from GMail to Proton Mail. The GMail is still there but only as a spam account and to catch anything important that I might have forgotten to move to my new email.
Almost completely stopped using WhatsApp. Just one or two stubborn holdout chat groups left there, everything else has moved to Signal or Discord.
Moved from Firefox to Vivaldi.
Moved from a KeePass database synchronized through OneDrive to Proton Pass.
Canceled my Microsoft 365 subscription and installed LibreOffice instead.
Moved all my 2FAs from Google Authenticator to 2FAS. (Why not use Proton Pass for 2FAs? Because I want to keep 2FAs separate from my password safe for security reasons.)
Moved my entire Google Drive including Google Photos to Proton Drive and canceled my Google One subscription.
Switched from Google Keep to Standard Notes as my cross-platform synchronized quick notes app.
Moving towards a #boycott of #American #BigTech is hard work!
Carney: Our old relationship with the #UnitedStates, our relationship based on steadily increasing #integration is over. These are tragedies but it's also our new reality. We are over the shock of the #American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves and above all, we have to take care of each other.
My wife and I visited the African-#American Museum in D.C. a year ago. It was overwhelming — and unforgettable. We left knowing we’d be back.
If #Trump succeeds in deleting our history from the museum, there’ll be nothing left. This is what erasure looks like —and it’s happening right in front of us.

@benroyce @lillyfinch Congrats #Canada for not giving in to the Dark Side. This #American is not the least bit happy that his grandfather left his home in #Quebec and came to the States early last century. You should have stayed put! Here’s to happy days for the Great White North.

The #American credit rating agency S&P is trying to put their thumb on the scale of the #Australian election by insinuating that #Labor is jeopardising Australia’s credit rating.

Making the roads. The roads will be dirt roads with 18 foot gravel surface. Bosque Farms Project
![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene from the early 1900s. It shows a person, presumably male due to their attire and build, standing beside a wooden fence on what appears to be a dirt road or path with tire tracks indicating it's used for vehicular travel.
He wears a dark-colored outfit including trousers and jacket, along with boots suitable for outdoor work. On his head is a wide-brimmed hat providing protection from the sun—a common accessory in rural settings during that era.
In front of him lies an old-fashioned rake or hoe which he seems to be either using on or resting against, suggesting agricultural activity possibly related to land preparation or maintenance. His posture indicates contemplation or pause as he gazes into a distance beyond his immediate vicinity.
The surrounding environment features barren trees and bushes indicative of arid conditions common in the American Southwest during early 20th-century rural life. The background shows another vehicle—a tractor with large wheels—indicating ongoing work on improving infrastructure, consistent with historical records that mention projects like "Bosque Farms Project."
There's handwriting at the top left corner which seems to be a description or note about this scene: 'Making diet roads; 18 ft gravel surface,' and references other places such as Bosque Teams Farm, New Mexico.

Tired mothers and tired children at the end of the Halloween party at Shafter migrant camp, California

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene at what appears to be a public gathering or event. In the foreground, several women are seated on benches with children in their laps or nearby. One woman is tending to another child who has fallen asleep on one of the seats. The expressions range from concern among some mothers to tranquility and exhaustion amongst others.
The background shows more people sitting around a large gathering area, suggesting that this might be an outdoor fair or community event. Some individuals are engaged in conversation while others appear relaxed but tired.
The attire of the subjects suggests mid-20th-century American fashion with women wearing skirts and cardigans and children dressed in casual clothes like sweaters and jeans. The clothing style indicates a time period consistent with early to mid-1940s America, reflecting modest and practical choices for family outings or community gatherings.
The setting seems informal yet communal, perhaps at an event organized by the local migrant camp where people from different backgrounds come together. The presence of children sleeping on benches hints that this might be a long day's activity leading to fatigue among both adults and young ones alike.
This photograph captures a moment in time reflecting life within communities like those found during the Great Depression or World War II era, particularly with regard to migr [...]](https://mastodon.ozioso.online/system/media_attachments/files/114/405/197/086/271/831/original/a520e9a120b62b6e.jpeg "The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene at what appears to be a public gathering or event.

![The image is a black and white photograph showing a group of people sitting on benches in an outdoor setting at night. There are both adults and children, with most wearing casual or work-related attire such as overalls, hats, jackets, and shoes typical for the era suggested by their styles. Some individuals appear to be engaged in conversation while others look off into space or directly towards the camera.
The people have a range of expressions; some seem contemplative or attentive, while others exhibit more relaxed demeanors with smiles on their faces. The lighting is low, likely from artificial sources given its nighttime setting, which casts shadows and creates contrast among the individuals in the group.
In the background, there's an open space leading to what appears to be a larger area where additional people are standing or seated under other light sources not visible within this frame. A wooden post stands out prominently on one side of the image, likely part of a structure such as a fence or barrier that surrounds them. The overall atmosphere suggests a communal gathering at an event like Halloween mentioned in the provided context.
The photograph is dated "13-4/25," which may refer to April 1948 (as inferred from the format typically used for photos and documents during this time).

If the past three months have shown us anything, it's that The #American Dream is slipping away for too many of us. And when that dream is in danger, we can't afford to stay silent. It's time to show up - in peaceful protest, in town halls, and in every corner of our #democracy.
