Hey #BlackMastodon folks who were using @BlackMastodon, if you had noticed that chirp.social isn't working, it is because the project had shut down.

I had blanked on posting this earlier.

Sorry about that!

I'm gonna tell y'all something.

Please tip your delivery drivers.

Not only is it hot in some places today, but others may have things going on that you don't know about and they push through it to make ends meet.

Good morning!

Spent an amazing afternoon and evening with students, staff, and faculty at UNC Chapel Hill at their Gaza encampment!

It was so awe inspiring to see how well the students were organized and how many people were conversing, talking about the issues, helping each other out!

It really goes to show that a community can thrive when it isn't based on capitalism but communal support!

It is a future I have dreamed about and believe we can achieve!

Honestly, just say you're mad that Black people are existing here and are trying to make a safe space for everyone, especially Black folks and get on with your life.

You could work and make sure that it’s more inclusive, but you rather attack a Black person on the platform just because of some small disagreement or misunderstanding.

This is why we don't see more Black and Brown people here. Because of shit like this!

I really wish people would stop referring to a genocide as a war.

War implies that two equal sides are fighting.

What's happening in Gaza is an ethnic cleansing.
