if your politics of liberation contain any kind of Homophobia, Transphobia, Misogynoir, Fatphobia or Ableism as praxis, their worth is negligible; they don’t mean shit.

Honestly moving to Mastodon from the bird site feels like I just switched to PBS after years of exclusively watching a reality TV show called, I don't know, EXTREME HATEFEST: ORGY ISLAND or something.

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.
The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉
Every single politician who legislates in other people’s pants has something they don’t want you to notice in their own.
Indonesia set to make sex outside marriage punishable by jail. This is outrageous.
