And to be ultra clear, when I say #Mastodon or Mastodon world, I'm talking about the Mastodon organization.

The #Fediverse and the people on #Mastodon instances are amazingly great people. The org Mastodon is deep in #SystemicRacism #WhiteSupremacy

The org could easily go oops our bad, sorry and fix it pronto before it goes to the next level. But they won't even answer an email. They are a social media organization and they ignore hundreds and hundreds of boosts.

For my 70th birthday I would like #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC visibility on #Mastodon. e.g. an Indigenous/BIPOC topic and a https://TurtleIsland.social instance listing at Join Mastodon. 😎

This is how I torture my family (feel complimented), I always want things money can't buy.

For over 3 years now @Tzipporah and I have been trying to build a vibrant thriving Native/Indigenous community on Mastodon. It's an uphill climb but we will not give up, we will succeed. We are glued to this concept.

The system is working as intended. It favors the privileged and cripples the rest. Dismantling and rebuilding is the only way forward.

Quote from Angela Davis that reads “The challenge of the twenty-first century is not to demand equal opportunity to participate in the machinery of oppression. Rather, it is to identify and dismantle those structures in which racism continues to be embedded. This is the only way the promise of freedom can be extended to masses of people.”

I’m currently reading “Abolition Democracy: Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture,” by Angela Davis. If I used a highlighter in this book, about 90% of it would be yellow.
