I know it’s just a social media post, but I stand with my colleagues and the students at America’s HBCUs.

It’s a short hop from radical anti-intellectualism to outright racism, and we’ve experienced these headwinds before.

But the work to build America’s pluralist democracy will not be halted by this kind of cowardice.

Possibly unpopular opinion: the reason I never got into mainstream videogames with accessibility features is because it feels like it basically just plays itself for you. The two largest examples of this that come to mind are The Last of Us and Forza. I'm not shitting on people who play and enjoy those games, I'm glad they enjoy them. But for me, having the game effectively cheat/play itself for "accessibility" reasons just takes all the fun out of it for me. I'm not playing, the computer is. I'm not much of a gamer, but think I'll mainly stick to my audiogames.

To the person who just walked past my house twice: you know headphones exist, right? You can get a nice set of over-ear cans, or cheap ones. There are noise-cancelling earbuds, passive sound blocking earbuds, and earbuds that are open to let you hear. There are even bone conduction or off-ear speaker options. What you should NOT be doing is walking along, blasting your audio book through your phone's speaker so loud that I can hear the words through my second-floor window.

Цензура она везде нагонит, да. Если бы мне было интересно, давно бы заморочился с поднятием собственного инстанса, но зачем. Лет 10 назад имело смысл, а теперь, когда в соцсетях стало слишком много публики, для которой любое мнение кроме их собственного это агрессия, ненависть и ещё хрен знает что, нафиг оно всё нужно.

While we're talking about Albert Einstein and how people have tried to erase his 20+ year civil rights protest work from history:

The FBI didn't like MLK jr. They called him "the most dangerous negro." Because he was influential, brought people together, and was vocally against anti-Black racism.

The FBI file on MLK Jr was 240,000 pages long. They accused him of being a communist spy, because he said things like, "racism is bad," and "too much wealth inequality is bad for society."

The FBI had a file on Malcolm X too. 9,000 pages long. Same reason.

The FBI had a surveillance file on Albert Einstein too. 1,400 pages.🤷🏿‍♂️

When Einstein was in NJ teaching at Princeton, a racist person wouldn't let Black Opera Singer Marian Anderson stay in their hotel. So Einstein said, "Stay with me."

Paul Robeson and other Black civil rights leaders wrote a letter condemning lynching. Einstein hand delivered it to President Truman.

The FBI had 240,000 pages of surveillance reports on MLK Jr.

9,000 pages on Malcolm X.

1,400 pages on Albert Einstein.

Yes, they considered MLK Jr to be much more dangerous than Malcolm X. They literally called him "The Most Dangerous Negro."

Because what they fear most is the end of racism.

If you're curious, no Einstein and Paul Robeson were not successful in getting that anti-lynching legislation passed.

There have been at least 200 attempts to get that anti-lynching legislation passed in US history.

The US did eventually pass anti-lynching legislation... in 2022. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Just going to come out and say it, thinking of deleting our account. To many memories, consisting of chapters that we need to close our book on. We'd like to make a fresh start. But shit, sstarting over, losing you all, it'll hurt like hell. Just, want something new to work from. And we don't know how... Nor would we know what instance to be part of, being plural friendly, otherkin friendly, pagan friendly, and LGBTQ friendly. -- Altheda/Lillianna

Yeah, sadly, no import of posts, but you can even edit CSV follower/following lists, if you want to, so you skip on who you want and not want to follow, considering you want to export followers, and not automatically migrate them all. That's what I usually do, mostly, when I switched to Go To Social, there was no way of migrating, had to import everything, import didn't work, so imagine the search I had to do. LOL. There are good instances, I am sure, just see how you feel about them, look at their sites and so on.
