Let's be clear, it is racist as fuck to discount the experience and insights of Black academic AND to call them a fucking colonizer because you do not have the mental capacity to absorb what is being said.

Do not be this person. You will sound like a fool. And a racist fool at that.

vruz ‘ @vruz@mastodon.social L) M Mastodon ha) Q@AreOh First, what Dr Flowers did was marginalised community erasure 101, ignoring everything that came before. Second, what Dr Flowers did was abuse of academic privilege. Power structures are hierarchical and power is relative to the position a person has achieved in society. Dr Flowers doesn't understand and has evidently never before studied before the kind of online communities which exist here and has decided to play the role of the coloniser.

I discovered that in Mastodon you can easily do alt text on an image of text. When you are uploading your image it says at the bottom, no description added. Click on that. Then you will see, detect text from image. Click on that. Done! You can edit it too for an OCR weirdness. Hope this helps.

I don't use Mastodon, but I’ll figure it out so I can get better with this.

Appreciate the heads up
