@evan got involved in #FediCon2025 thanks to a chat with @andypiper of @Mastodon because he was kind enough to advise me on #BIPOC #communitybuilding here

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 🙏

I’m not a fan of Thomas Kinkade’s art, but I’m very pleased with this statement from the Kinkade Family Foundation:

“On July 1st, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a photo on their social media accounts accompanied by a Thomas Kinkade Studios painting. The use of his artwork was unauthorized, and we have requested that DHS remove the post, and we are consulting with our counsel on our options.

“At The Kinkade Family Foundation, we strongly condemn the sentiment expressed in the post and the deplorable actions that DHS continues to carry out. Like many of you, we were deeply troubled to see this image used to promote division and xenophobia associated with the ideals of DHS, as this is antithetical to our mission. We stand firmly with our communities who have been threatened and targeted by DHS, especially our immigrant, BIPOC, undocumented, LGBTQ+, and disabled relatives and neighbors.”

Are there any other non-white-European people from the region of #Karlsruhe and #Strasbourg in my timeline ? I'm looking for other #Kurdish, #Arabic, #Indian, #BIPoC etc. people to maybe get to know closer because I miss spending time with other non-euronormative people since I moved here !

(I'm sometimes just annoyed by all my friends having only their European sight on the world. That's why the uncommon search.)

Every day I watch supposedly progressive people concern themselves with the wrongs upon their lives and even other continents while doing nothing to support #Reparations for the #Native#Indigenous#BIPOC#FormerlyEnslaved peoples on the stolen lands and lives they benefit from.

For those that do support our businesses & #IndigenousMutualAid; For those that understand the great harms inflicted upon us & the need for reparations; For those that do something about it, I thank you.

On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC#LGBTQ+ people.

Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL REBELLION

On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and BIPOC LGBTQ+ people.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

New Jersey's own Marsha P. Johnson, who arrived at the bar after the riots had started, was instrumental in channeling the post-rebellion fervor for queer liberation among the city's poor, homeless, trans and gender nonconforming youth of color.

One year later, the first Pride marches were held to honor the bravery of the veterans of the rebellion and continue the fight for equality they galvanized that night.

Je suis frustré de pas pouvoir étoffer ma présentation. je le fais là. #introduction
Je suis d'origine #marocain et j'ai grandit à #Toulouse.

J'aimerais beaucoup découvrir une communauté #decoloniale et #antiraciste ici. Et pas que des blanc•he, j'ai un peu l'impression que je vois que des profils de personnes blanches.

J'aimerais aussi qu'on oublie pas de visibiliser davantage avec des boosts les personnes #trans , #handi , #bipoc ...déjà marginalisé•es par la société.
