📢 I apologize to everyone who I told that another's favorites are visible to their followers. They are not. I definitely misunderstood somehow. The person who knows you favorited a post as the owner of the account the post came from. Still, I'm glad favoriting let's the poster know I like their post.

In case anyone cares or is curious, I'm favoriting posts relevant to current news and events, I'm just no longer reposting or discussing them in my posts here, but if you follow me, you can still access posts I've favorited, I believe.

Since I came to know the Lord in 1976, I've always believed prayer is powerful. This principle has proven true, so often, throughout the forty-eight years following, so I'm going to rely on the promises of God, stay informed, vote, donate time and money to causes and organizations that promote human rights and nondiscrimination, and wait on the Lord, but not clutter my mind with the drama of DJT, the GOP, or the hate and lines they spew forth, often on a daily basis. I believe their intent is to keep me angry, annoyed, confused, fearful, feeling powerless and hopeless. I refuse to buy into any of those negative concepts. To do so is to allow DJT and his minions control over me. Hate and lies are not going to control me. I want the love and light of God to control me and be upper most in my life, not the darkness the GOP and their hateful ideas offer. That's a one-way road, straight to Hell, in my considered view. I can say I'm a Christian until I run out of voice or words, but unless I distance myself from those who profess hate and lies, i will never be free from either. (2/2)

I've decided, after reading President Clinton's book, CITIZEN, that for the duration of Trump's presidency, I'm going to refrain from commenting about current events, GOP or US politics or DJT on Mastodon. Bill Clinton commented that when you see a freight train coming at you, sometimes you just have to get off the track and wait. Since the only things I can do about this situation are pray, vote and hope Democrats can return us to a brighter day, at some future point, all the comments made on Mastodon are not going to change either Trump or the GOP cult's grip on the US, so my time is better spent reading and learning and continuing to grow spiritually, and as a human being. That is exactly what I intend to do. Wasting words on DJT and the GOP is a profound waste, and I think may even put my mental health and well being at risk. What I am going to do is favorite posts I agree with, and express my opinions to like-minded individuals I feel personally close to, but not on social media. (1/2)

It's being reported by more than one main stream media source that there will be a large ICE raid conducted in Chicago, IL on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. My prayers are with all immigrants and their families impacted, and I am so ashamed my country is behaving in this hateful and despicable way. I will never become numb to this, as long as I live, and I will not forget this evil.

So, American Express agreed to pay $230 million in penalties over deceptive practices it used to increase small business sign-ups! Not surprising at all for a credit card company. They're really not consumer friendly, but are necessary to complete many transactions in today's digital world. 🙍♀️

Regarding my tech poll, for Mona users, you can register your vote by swiping down to "view poll," double tap, make your selection and vote. When you reply, that does not register your vote. I can't vote in my own poll. Haha!

The House passed a bill to bar transgender women and girls from participating in school athletic programs designated for female students. Its future in the Senate is uncertain. So the return to the stone age begins, eh? I need to get used to this because we're going to have four years of this disappointment and pullback of civil rights. 😭 #USPol

OTD: Johnny Cash performed two legendary concerts at Folsom Prison on January 13, 1968, which became a pivotal moment in his career. He performed at 9:40 am and 12:40 pm, ensuring a perfect recording. Cash opened both shows with his signature song "Folsom Prison Blues" and was accompanied by an all-star ensemble including June Carter Cash, Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and his band the Tennessee Three.
The performances included prison-themed songs like "Dark as a Dungeon," "Cocaine Blues," and "Green, Green Grass of Home". Cash closed the show with "Greystone Chapel," a song written by Folsom Prison inmate Glen Sherley.
The At Folsom Prison album became a multimillion-selling record that reinvigorated Cash's career and made him a counter-culture hero. It resonated with the social spirit of 1968, showcasing empathy for inmates and becoming one of the most influential albums of the decade. The performance transformed Cash into an international music ambassador and prison reform spokesman.

Anyone else rewash containers returned and the person says they've already washed them? I've always done this, and if people rewash containers i've washed and returned to them, I wouldn't be insulted in the least. 🤔

Forgive my skepticism about what Apple is not doing with Siri conversations. It's a huge corporation. Just like any other huge corporation, the main motivator, IMHO, is $$$$$$! https://mstdn.social/@ppatel/113798991552938387
