Summer has a great start on a banner day.
She chased the doves that encroached on her acre until they decamped for the neighboring property.
She talked my husband into grass fed, organic ground beef mixed in with her kibble.
She got all manner of hugs, scritches, and belly rubs.
Today is the grandson coming over day, too!
Summer says it really, really is a good morning, Mastodon.

#Debirdify has been suspended by Twitter without warning or explanation. Apparently it violated ‘Twitter rules and policies’, but that is all they told us.

We contacted Twitter support about the situation, but we are not particularly optimistic.

We always knew this could happen; it happened to other services in the past, so we are neither particularly surprised nor sad about it.

In the mean time, Fedifinder still works: https://fedifinder.social

Use it while you still can!
