If you are coming from Twitter and you’re not in the habit of applying alt text to photos: GET IN THE HABIT. It’s a good habit to have and it’s absolutely a norm on Mastodon. Personally I think it’s a neat little writing exercise, also. #twittermigration
Folks have asked—spore.social, the federated instance of project mushroom :)
I twitter-know a few of the leaders of the effort and trust their ethics and commitment, and the moderators are paid :)

AmeliaOK, time for a serious plea to everyone who "just wants to learn."
I don't care if we're talking about racism, ableism, queerphobia, or whatever else. Your intention to learn is fine, that's a good start, please don't give up on trying to learn.
But lesson number one? HOW you learn really, really fucking matters.
Do not come into conversations among racialized communities and poke for answers. Do not enter disabled or queer spaces and start taking notes. Do not presume upon the time or energy of people just because you really want to learn from them.
If someone is not overtly and clearly offering to educate, do not ask them to teach. This also applies to people who DO willingly educate but may also, y'know, deserve an occasional break from being teachers.
Oppressed folx got enough shit to carry already, and y'all wandering in and acting like straight-up stalking us is a "healthy way to learn" are not helping anything.
Keep your desire to learn intact. Like I said, it's a good thing. Just aim it in the appropriate directions, for fuck's sake.
Calvin BurkeI took a break from studying to read some Mary Oliver and I should have known better because my whole soul has been cracked open, once again, in the most beautiful way
I got a loom.
After I grade my final exam and clean my house, I…get to play with it!!

Janelle ShaneImportant note for educators about now: it looks like GPT-2 output detectors can detect #chatgpt output pretty well.

Edit: Changed my mind - it ID'd an excerpt from my own book as AI-written. A false positive could ruin a student's career.

Today was a pretty solid day.

#Mastodon has a LONG way to go to on Black #inclusivity. This is surprising because it’s appropriately focused on #accessibility and #LGBTQ+ inclusivity. We all need to uplift #BlackMastodon in every way we can. This will make Mastodon better and create a sanctuary for the Black community. Call out, fight, and report all micro-aggressions/racism witnessed here. Boost posts/accounts of Black Mastodonians. Use your #privilege to be a voice. This is our #responsibility. We’re #StrongerTogether.
