@Rabbiarielstone Dr Bastian deserves the credit, but Iโ€™m happy to bring it to a few more peopleโ€™s attention!
Whereas, as we all know, it was actually Colin Clive who played the monster.
in Norway, "up and not crying" is a not uncommon response to "how's it going" type questions, and I feel like that's a very reasonable standard to hold oneself to nowadays
Soliciting nominations for a collective noun for economists. Currently favoured: "A moral hazard".
so is a sieve, but OK

@dave @Bam @thetitanborn

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.

2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.

3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.

4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

Reflecting on Twitter, White Flight, & "Quote Tweet" Tensions at Mastodon - Absolutely Maybe

Why canโ€™t we โ€œquote boostโ€ at Mastodon, the way we can โ€œquote tweetโ€ at Twitter? That might sound like an innocuous questionโ€ฆ

Absolutely Maybe

"However this unfolds, as a white person myself, the issue of white behavior looms large. The odds faced by people of color of 'whiteness dominating conversations' are bad enough when we dominate these spaces just by sheer numbers. Add to that our greater propensity to insert ourselves into conversations...and itโ€™s a ghastly picture. If we keep choosing insensitivity and our own comfort, weโ€™re choosing to be part of the problem. We can choose another path."
