#introduction
I write at the intersection of space, science, tech, and pop culture. I’m the host and writer of PBS’s YouTube show Far Out. I’ve got a book on stargazing coming out in 2023.
I also have a column called Casual Gamer at Wired, where I talk about gaming as a parent. I write regularly for StarTrek.com and am the co-host of the pop culture podcast Desi Geek Girls. I talk about space, Star Trek, video games, writing, being a parent, knitting, and more!

If you’ve already joined Mastodon, this post isn’t going to be helpful — unless you’re still trying to figure out how it works and how to follow people. Second part, involving how to USE Mastodon, coming soon! #twittermigration #mastodon https://www.swapnakrishna.com/blog/mastodon-primer-part-1

This one MIGHT be more helpful: How to actually use Mastodon once you’ve set up your account (including norms like CWs and alt text!) https://www.swapnakrishna.com/blog/mastodon-primer-part-2 #twittermigration

Seeing a lot of discussion about people being bugged to put discussions of their experiences with racism behind content warnings and friends, this isn’t a good thing.

Let’s be clear that CWs are great. But someone existing as different from you, as a marginalized identity, does not go behind a content warning. And talking about the discrimination they experience might make you uncomfortable—trust me, when I experience racism, it’s very uncomfortable. The response is to try and do something about it, not to tell them they’re making you uncomfortable.

And if all you can do about it in the moment is listen, that’s ok too. But telling them to put it behind a CW is telling them—telling us—that we, as people, aren’t welcome here.

Good morning! #Artemis is on the launch pad, the countdown is proceeding as scheduled. I’ll start covering tanking aound 3:30 PM ET (that’s the fueling of the rocket).Is there any interest in me live-posting? I’ve found that there isn’t as much engagement with that over here as on the other site, but happy to do it over here as well if people are interested.#NASA #space

When it comes to Mastodon, I’ve had higher than usual unpleasant experiences of men trying to explain things to me or men asking me leading questions so they can explain things to me (usually that thing involves why Mastodon is better than all the others). Has anyone else has that experience?
