@artbyailbhe I feel this so much. Ironing is boring and breaks up the flow of the sewing. I recognize its value but I do not like it. That and having to pre-wash fabric.

Small scale, voluntary content moderation is not a solution. And yes, I donate to my instance for maintenance. https://twitter.com/ibjiyongi/status/1595059216506568705?s=46&t=SBCEHRiM1ikjxU8yAKYVug

Black folks hear this all the time in the physical & virtual world. “Maybe, you’re not the right fit.” Decentralization isn’t the panacea for our social media woes if places like #Mastodon can’t incorporate #diversity & #inclusion. It’ll be just another white~dominated space where the far right, white supremos, & other agents of intolerance rule the roost while the good white folks put their heads in the sand and pretend like they’re not the problem.. #BlackTwitter #Inequality #BlackMastodon
