On August 21, 194 years ago in less than a month, Nat Turner led a revolt. Dozens died. But what haunted white Southerners wasn’t the blood—it was the intention. The reading. The prophecy. The belief that enslaved people could think, lead, and judge.

"I'm sick of Web3. I'm sick of corpo shit. And I'm sick of the impression that Web3 Corpo Shit is the only way to be online," @albinanigans writes in a really excellent guide to Mastodon for BIPOC folks, "So Your Black Ass Still Wants to Get on Mastodon":

And when, 49 years ago this week, the nation asked who would speak for America in crisis, she answered. With conviction. With the Constitution. And with a voice they never forgot.
