As someone from the combination liberation project / land grab / cult of private property called the USA,

I can't help but think about the tension between the human right to migration, how borders are/n't real, how the border crossed so many of my friends & their ancestors, how many have needed Green Books to travel safely, etc

When people talk about the #GreatMigration of social media, are we thinking deeply about the conditions under which migration happens?

I still have an active birdsite account because #mastoSoWhite , and sometimes I log in there and it's a REAL TRIP to see stuff like "I'm still single at 37 and I'm OK with that" promoted in the sidebar

Like... yeah? Great... job? I live in a part of the US that regularly gets identified as a bumfuck backwater and that wasn't even a particularly spicy take when I was growing up there. I'm 36.
