If a new instance showed up on Fedi

And this instance had a whole bunch of MAGA accounts

You'd defederate on sight because of bad moderation

So go to Tumblr

Do a search for "MAGA", scroll a bit and just try to count the number of non-ironic pro-MAGA accounts there are in the first page or two of results

I don't think I'm being alarmist

But I do think that most instances would be inconsistent with their stated principles and policies if they federated with Tumblr

It's Trans Awareness Week, and I think back to the Black Trans Flag, the dominance of whiteness in this queer space, and the lack of care white ppl have for their Black queer siblings
I've been here for years, let's go down memory lane

#BlackMastodon #TransAwarenessWeek

Plan to do a Medium post tomorrow on a dangerous path I am seeing the autistic community go.

More and more, I am seeing autistic people call for the reform of police to have better training and treat them more respectfully.

I am screaming at this because I know this will fail. We have already see on this approach fail time and time again because the problem isn't lack of training, it's embedded white supremacy and worse.

I am mad because I know that if I point out the link between the ableism and racism in the police is white supremacy that most autistic people are going to ignore me.

The worst part is going down this ineffective approach is going to lead to more autistic people getting hurt by police. Harm that could prevented by abolishing the police and creating spaces for people to be accepted. Police departments do not need any more money! A 1 off training isn't going to fix the fact that most police officers fundamentally dehumanize everyone.

Anyways, ACAB. I will post the link tomorrow.

❌ we should have daylight when we go to work in the morning

❌ we should have daylight when we come home from work at night

☑️ we shouldn’t have to work so many hours that we have to ration The Sun

Use CWs pls.

But if I choose not CW a post about racism or misogyny, don't police me about it either

I said that in 2019

And it seems to me that new users to #blacktwitter or #Blackmastodon think that they have to do that. You don't

If you're concerning about fellow Blk folks mental health and wanna CW I get that. Do it. But don't hide for white fragility. Forget that
