https://TurtleIsland.social is a small instance. What are we supposed to do, apologize for being survivors of history's largest genocide?

No, this is on the dominant culture to fix. The dominant culture is the gatekeeper and needs to fix this for ALL non-white cultures.

It's time to make Mastodon friendly to non-white cultures and we need to start at the top.

My #introduction needs a refresh.

I'm a #PhD student at the University of #Vermont, studying the #Evolution of #Evolvability. I'm into #AI, #ALife, #Biology, and #Philosophy, because I want to understand #life, #adaptation, and #intelligence using my native language of #ComputerScience. I share my musings and #research on my #blog. I love #science generally, and am full of bitchy #AcademicChatter.

I was a #SoftwareEngineer in #SiliconValley for many years, but left in 2021. I'm glad I did, and now I feel a bit betrayed by the #TechIndustry. I've been going back to my #FOSS roots, and gradually #DeGoogle ing my life. I still love to talk about #code #craft, #UX, and healthy #engineering #culture. Recently I've been enjoying #gpu #programming, mostly in #taichilang.

I have a wife and a #cat. I love #nature, #photography, #cooking, and #yoga.

All kinds of people are valid and worthy, but #trans people, folks on the #autism spectrum, and #bipoc get a shout out right now because they need our support.

Eartha Kitt is my fave #catwoman: iconic, sly, and impossible to forget. Julie Newmar, eat your heart out.

Halle Berry looked great in her catsuit, but that movie (and the EA game tied to it) never landed for me.

Eartha also sang the famously cheeky “Santa Baby,” a song that stirred controversy in its day for its playful, suggestive tone which makes it one of my holiday favourites.

Listen: https://youtu.be/HTCFi4l3nkY?si=UWR1VcXjsF3Qlsul

May your holidays be as bold and memorable as her voice, and may your stocking be full of delight for both naughty and nice!

ICYMI Eartha Kitt was PURRFECT as Catwoman So WHY Did They Silence Her?

PS
For me, the best Batman: Christian Bale for the films; Adam West for the TV series.

I thought it would be easier to find a non-white #transgender #translator of #Japanese to English on here, but when I asked a few weeks back I got nothing but crickets. Surely there is someone on here who fits that description? The pay is pretty good by contemporary standards of #manga #translation! Drop me a line! Connect me with your friend/acquaintance/colleague who fits this description! Anyway, please boost! #BIPOC #Black #Brown #Indigenous
