It bothers me that people can’t see how marginalized people are guarding their safety and that we are encouraging them to do that rather than to work to make spaces safe for them.

- this place isn’t safe for me
- go to another place then
- I can’t find a place that is safe for me
- then make a place that is safe for you
- I made a place that is safe for me
- why won’t you associate with my place???
- it isn’t safe for me, so I had to disassociate from it
- THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE

@Patricia YO!

I'm trying to build such safe spaces. I have no problem do the work, BUT I do need some support.

Read my blog to find out how to enable my success and my ability to ensure -someone- is working to build the needed space and tools for minorities on Mastodon.
