@clive It's really depressing. I had gotten tired of listicles even before AI made them so easy to generate. Almost makes me want to give up writing TBH which is sad.

@killyourfm Well-said. Even though I know no harm is meant by it, I hate when someone asks me "What do you do for a living?"

I'm #Black, #trans, have a uterus, and am in a same-sex marriage. I'm well aware of the threats that #Trump and the #Republicans pose to marginalized people.I still don't support the #Democrats, and will not vote for #KamalaHarris.You're welcome to disagree with my stance, but shaming me or other progressives for abstaining or voting for third-party candidates is not helpful.(Click the link, not the image preview, to bypass the paywall)https://funcrunch.medium.com/my-gender-is-not-binary-and-neither-are-my-politics-e872c131f66e?sk=7b2e5f3f259405fb51f51b3c1950b39c #USPol #BlackMastodon

Anti-DEI assholes directed the removal of #HarrietTubman from a #NationalParkService webpage about the #UndergroundRailroad. After an outcry, the changes were reverted today.

@ycwang @pluralistic People working for #KristiNoem just threw US-born Mexican-American senator #AlexPadilla to the ground and handcuffed him for trying to ask her a question.

@internetarchive I'd planned to be there in person tonight, but am not feeling well so watching (and enjoying!) the livestream. Congrats on this milestone and thanks for this incredible resource, which I use regularly, especially for my volunteer work on @wikipedia.

So apparently there's some trend on #LinkedIn where women have reported getting tons more visibility after changing their listed #gender to male. A Black woman reported trying this and not getting the same results, because racism.I commented that as a Black trans person I would never change my listed gender for algorithmic gain, and that I prefer posting here on Mastodon where I don't have to worry about said #algorithms. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7397054335463047169?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7397054335463047169%2C7397339837051248640%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287397339837051248640%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7397054335463047169%29 #BlackMastodon

In my comment I also shared an older post about thoughts on #MalePrivilege, or lack thereof, as a Black transmasculine person.https://funcrunch.medium.com/becoming-a-black-man-in-america-5b494473d5a4?sk=3fcca6937ed07d5f19a316535703f2e5 #BlackTrans #BlackMastodon
