Dear white friends: It's Black Friday when Black Mastodon celebrates its cultural heritage.

Follow the hashtag periodically today. I've already enjoyed music I haven't heard since I was a teenager; I've also seen some great artwork and bookmarked some reading material.

Expand your world with #BlackFriday every week. Boost Black and BIPOC voices as you do so.

And follow @BlackAzizAnansi who's made a great start increasing Mastodon's cultural diversity.

@raynetoday @BlackAzizAnansi Glad to see someone posting a bit more information about this. I was wondering, if a white person has something interesting to share about Black History, do you think it's acceptable to use Black Friday to share that?

@raynetoday @BlackAzizAnansi As a white friend, gotta say Black Mastodon sounds more powerful than Black Twitter. Also, would be a great name for a band.

@raynetoday @BlackAzizAnansi this is not very exciting but when I was a child I read an article about Wilma Rudolph and was always amazed by her! 💕
