Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not ready to talk about Black history. I want to talk about white US history.

Q: "Why don't Black people build any generational wealth? Newer immigrant groups seem to be doing just fine? Must be a lazy and shiftless people!"

A: Because for most of US history, white folk have *intentionally* destroyed the wealthiest Black neighborhoods in the US and stolen all the wealth.

#BlackMastodon

Thank you @stefan for the image!

I'm pinning this. If I follow you, please refollow me at the new place. Many thanks.

I've been building starter packs for Mastodon in my spare time and today I want to share what I've built with the community:

https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/

I've started building this when I saw how popular starter packs on Bluesky are and I think a feature like this is even more critical for Mastodon where it's harder to find people to follow across thousands of instances.

Only a small number starter packs are available right now, but I'm hoping the community will add more soon! ❤️

Really heartwarming and wonderful!

Tim Walz not only seems like that guy in high school who defended kids who were picked on and stood up to bullies. As a teacher, he literally is that guy.

"That helped not just me, but it helped, I think, the bully. It showed the bully a better path forward. And I can think of noone better than Tim Walz to show that better path forward for America."
