This is a very robust discussion by and for #BIPOC / #POC and their perspectives on content warnings. Tons of engagement that runs the gamut from "hell yeah" to "hell no" and a lot of nuance!

If you're wondering about the CW discussions and how they relate to race in particular, check out this thread.

Please reblog/boost if you think this would help folks you know who are new to Mastodon. (Likes are appreciated, but won't help spread the advice)

#introduction

I’m Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a theoretical physicist and feminist theorist with research specialties on dark matter, neutron stars, and Black feminist science, technology, and society studies. I’m a columnist for New Scientist and also author of an award-winning book The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred.

I can be found here and @chanda, and I am Vulcan at heart 🖖🏽

#introduction.

I’m pwinn, rhymes with Quinn.

I’m into #nerdery. I’m a professional nerd, currently paid to write #golang, an upgrade from #java. I’m also an avocational nerd, mostly writing #python on my own time.

I’ve written a #book. It’s cheap! Tillie Madison vs Reality is a #scifi #fantasy novel. I love #books, and read more than two per week on average. I include #audiobooks and #graphicnovels in that, but not individual issues of #comics or #manga.

I collect things, mostly but not exclusively electronically. To that end, I have a coouple of NAS units. The newest one is a 95-terabyte #Synology, while the older one is a 28-terabyte #WesternDigital with a 32-terabyte Drobo attached. One of them runs #Plex, but not for public consumption. I’m not a #datahoarder. I’m not! I can quit anytime!

I enjoy #boardgames, including tabletop RPGs (#ttrpgs) like #mothership. I like jigsaw #puzzles too. I’m going to reward myself for posting this by starting one of my new 2000-piece Ravensburgers.

I realized recently that I watch more #anime and #Kdrama than I do American #television, but that comes and goes.

Other things about me: I live in #texas, I’m #married, I’m a #christian, I’m a #feminist, I lean far #left politically on most things, I like #photography, I really like #sudoku, and I’ve been playing with both #AIart and #GenshinImpact lately.

I’m sure I’ve left out something important, but I don’t see any rule that I can’t have more than one #introduction, so I’m not bothered.

Hey all, it may be time for that #introduction thing again.

I'm Will, a tabletop game designer that you might know from games like the 80s alt history horror #ttrpg Party First or the #sologame One White Eye and the associated Second Guess System.

I'm also a long time player of competitive card games #ccg #cardgame so you might recognize me as #podcasting for the A Game of Thrones LCG #podcast, The White Book.

Oh, and I'm really digging Mastodon and run the Tabletop.vip instance.
