While my community worked to find ways to engage with systems, institutions, and policies that were never designed to include us, white folx often, in greater numbers than I ever imagined, chose to double down on maintaining their unearned power and privilege by escalating the violence of white supremacy on themselves.
And the chilling truth is this, if white folx will inflict this level of harm on themselves, it is no wonder that appeals to “your better half” go unheard when that abuse is directed toward “the other.”

We had #Fedicon because @reiver came to #sxsw to speak, and he left with the conviction that a Fediverse event in Vancouver would work. And he reached out to Canadian Fediverse participants to get a great lineup of speakers. He energized some really talented collaborators like @manlycoffee and @Crissy to make the event actually happen.
Wasn’t sure what I could’ve contributed as a 🌈 nondev at FediCon but thankfully @reiver said sure 🤭
Glad to be part of the FEDI community since the great twitter migration of 2022/23 when @manlycoffee suggested for me to join this place as a designer and creative 🙏
💥Battle isolation with senior group fitness!
At the Milano Senior Center in #Melrose, MA, members ages 65–97 are proving that movement builds more than muscle—it builds belonging. This seated battle ropes circuit (side winders!) delivers more than physical power—it’s community in motion.💪🏾

Everyone wants to have some control over their own experience, whether in-person or online. But some people seem to implicitly believe they have to control *everyone's* experience to control their own experience, and therefore have a right to. I don't agree.
The whole point of the #fediverse, as I understand it, is that it allows us to exercise control over our own experience, *without* having to suppress or curate for the whole network. So many overlapping platform experiences can co-exist.
One of the most corrosive things about social media culture is the way it actively discourages relationship building. This is primarily a social problem, not a technical problem, and I observe it in the fediverse too.
