@Are0h @MacropodCare Yep, I've definitely seen that happen. Also, a reactionary response to people who call out abusive behavior - usually Black and Indigenous women.Default Western culture puts way too much value on (white) comfort tbh. Leads to talk of 'calling people in,' 'keeping the conversation going,' etc.Nope. I grew up intimately close to all that and it's a toxic road to nowhere. Anyone who can be called in is already doing the work. The rest need to be called out.

@Are0h @MacropodCare obviously this all happened on Twitter, too. But the idea is to be better than Twitter, right? It's a feature of the whole system - not a platform bug. But if we're going to be democratic about this, then everyone should have the right to participate in online communities without being abused.Patterns repeat themselves. We can consciously create better patterns of engagement and community. And that means a zero-tolerance policy on racism, ableism, transphobia, etc.

Can't sleep, heart-in-throat, worried sick about my hometown. We're used to snow, but this storm is a whole different beast. A cat 3 hurricane, but with snow and ice. My Facebook is full of people asking for help - trapped in houses with no heat, trees down on top of houses and gas lines, hundreds of motorists stranded in cars...This Christmas is going to be very tragic for a lot of families 💔#Buffalo #BuffaloBlizzard #Blizzard #BombCyclone

The whole "I'm from Buffalo, I don't fear snow, catch me hauling ass down the I-190 in a Blizzard with a super mighty in my hand" persona is a fun joke for locals but a terrible disaster preparedness plan for the government.How does **Buffalo** not have snowmobiles and an emergency response team for blizzards?!#BuffaloBlizzard #Buffalo #Blizzard #winterstormelliot #Elliot

Make no mistake.When this is over, #Buffalo's unconscionable structural inequalities will be laid bare like never before.Poverty, inadequate housing, homelessness, underinvestment in mental health & domestic violence prevention, systemic racism... all of it. #BuffaloBlizzard

I wish I had better news about Buffalo but the city is in a state of emergency. To summarize the overnight police scanner: - Hundreds of people trapped in cars.- Thousands without power and freezing in their homes for 30h+ - Everything is on fire - cars, houses, everything.- Emergency crews are trying but they're stuck. Fire engines breaking down all over the place. The Nat'l guard showed up and got stuck, too. - 7 people are confirmed dead. #BuffaloBlizzard #Buffalo #Storm

Mark Poloncarz: "I think it was more than 10 firetrucks that were stuck at one point... it was horrible, City of Buffalo is ground zero."Says first responders had to take refuge in private residences. Conditions so bad, rescuers couldn't reach a 1-yr old child in distress just 1 block from the hospital. #BuffaloBlizzard #Buffalo #Blizzard

Reporter asks about mom and baby in distress - cites lots of concern on social media.Poloncarz says reaching family is no. 1 priority. They are trying to either bring heat to the family or open a path to the hospital. Says conditions are too dangerous to move the baby right now.

I'm listening to the police scanner. A civilian in distress has found an abandoned police car and is currently crying into the radio asking for help.Earlier, a similar situation with an abandoned fire truck. No word on whether that individual has been rescued.#BuffaloBlizzard #Blizzard #Buffalo

So far, two people confirmed dead - both in Cheektowaga. Both died from medical emergencies after first responders couldn't reach them. Unofficial comments from public officials + social media indicate this number is expected to rise. #BuffaloBlizzard #Buffalo #Blizzard #WinterStorm
