Hi folks! New here so I'll post a little #introduction. I'm an activist, musician and writer based in Boston. I help run @team . I write poppy queer political punk songs and have a few albums out on Get Better Records & Don Giovanni Records (read more about that here pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/e). I care a lot about the ways tech policy impacts LGBTQ+ folks & other marginalized communities. I'm starting to think through a book project exploring abolitionist tech policy. Happy to be here! <3

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

I have a surprise for you all. 😏
I've committed someone to create a proper logo for #Sengi.

I didn't go the "contest" way because it leads to make people work for free. So I found someone that has a nice portfolio and paid upfront.

He just sent me the result, I'm waiting for the final files but... here it is! 😀

My Teaching Philosophy (because what could be a better use of bandwidth than one more person telling you how to feel about public education?) - bluecerealeducation.com/my-tea #teachers #education #pedagogy @edutooters #edutooter

Hey folks, I’m a social lead at a leading university in Canada and am trying to figure out whether it’s feasible to set up an instance for staff, faculty, and students.

Recognize that this is a big undertaking without many examples to draw from. So, if you’ve encountered any schools or Higher-Ed institutes (or are one!), I’d love to hear about it/you.

This is the most accurate characterization and narrative of Musk I have seen. A worthwhile read, and much appreciated.

Does anyone know why I can't see all of someone's followers or the people they follow? I only seem to be able to see one or two.

Twitter users, as of this morning (12/18/2022) can no longer add #mastodon links in their Twitter profile, because any link to any mastodon instance is apparently considered #malware by Elon :-( cc #edtechSR #ConCW #ElonMusk #MediaLit #ElonsWarOnMastodon

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

I’m calling banned journalists, for instance, to never ever go back. You do not need to be on Twitter to cover it. I’m frankly agnostic about holding onto an account. Right now I’m doing that, but use it to criticize Melon until I’m somehow banned at some point. I deleted my DMs and almost all my posts and don’t communicate via DM anymore. I post a fraction of the volume I once did. At some point I’m sure that will end, too. There’s no utility to it.

Good Morning Mastodon.
