Did you play games for Thanksgiving? We did:
* A 13-person game of Eat Poop You Cat (aka Telephone Pictionary), a long time Thanksgiving tradition in my house
* pie break
* Exquisite Corpse (mostly the kids)
* Just One (2 boxes)
* The last word in Just One was "revolution," so then we had a Hamilton dance party/singalong to cap off the night.
Grateful.
This story with Tracy Chou, an engineer who specifically works on creating tools to stifle organised harassment online, getting posts removed from mastodon.social because of "reverse sexism/racism," is maddeningly infuriating.
We know that Mastodon's flagship instances have been having issues with moderation for a while, but this seems to point that the trend has gone from "ineffective absent moderators" to "moderators protecting the feelings of white men," which I think will backfire. It also validates every criticism the fediverse receives for being a bastion of tepid, neoliberal, unexamined racism-as-reflex whiteness.

To echo Tracy Chou's bannable offense: I also heavily recommend reading more books by non men, by non white people, and by non cisheterosexual people. What a violent ideology! Tabarnouche.
