so, i know that some people like follow friday #ff and some people don't

for myself, i'm actually looking for people to follow with socialist/poc/technology intersectional perspectives bc i want to learn from peers in this area

so, please give me some recommendations! also, i'd appreciate this being boosted as well so that i can get some more circulation. in addition, don't hesitate to recommend yourself
: )

sometimes i wonder if i isolate myself here in the fediverse by being real and unfiltered about the black experience

probably. but, that's fine. if people don't want to know they can block me

the number of times i get "i can't believe this" in response to me in general is kinda amusing. it's like. "how could i make you believe?"

you know, you can't really be an ally without putting in the work to not immediately doubt the words of others experiences. the world is.. a different place for some.

i understand the need for CWs and culture of sensitivity around content that is CW'd

however, it's worth noting that the fediverse community is pretty white

im black and my cultural sensitivities don't always line up with what white people view as positive/negative/neutral

i was snapped at by a few people when I first came on mastodon for "getting it wrong". this nearly led to me not using the service.

be careful; cultural myopia is a subtle and terrible silencer.
