Since people like to misunderstand what intersectionality is (it's not a checklist of identities, folks!), here's a link to the original article where Kimberle Crenshaw defines it:

Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence Against Women of Color (1993)

May today treat you all with kindness and love.

Things will get better; your hardships will pass.

I promise. 💜

Hey a enjoy y'all a whole bunch and appreciate y'all

- no random hugs will be sent unless it's requested to be sent in a direction (responses to public toots not withstanding)
- One and only one hug will be sent. Don't ask for more to be sent, that's harassment
- A list shall be kept. Don't pester with requests.

I asked for insight into how to help victims of harassment, and was sent this article:

kittywumpus.net/blog/2017/04/1

Besides the advice I was looking for, it also mentions things from an organization's perspective (specifically from a convention organizer's perspective, but this can be applied generally): Fix the missing stair. Don't whisper around it, warn people in private... just get rid of it.

Do you know someone in need of a little ?

@ this account and a hug will be sent their way.

DM's will be treated as a request for an anonymous, random hug drive by.

There is a real bag of meat and bones behind this account. There are some template toots you may see from time to time but there is a real human present.

😍

The world will eventually get to the point where sex organs are no longer measured, egos aren't boosted by putting others down and hearts are scrubbed of darkness.

One day 🤗 will be the only measure.

Mastodon is home to more ❤ than other networks, it's time we join 🤝 and spread the ❤ one 🤗 at a time.

Vive la révolution!

harassment, Mastodon 

Fellow Mastadonians- take a stand against harassment if you can do something about it.

Speak out if you see something. File a report. Take the person's attention away from their target until an admin can do something.

Let's make this better than Twitter. It starts with us.

I just want to announce that I love giving (with permission!) and receiving hugs, and if you need one, you can either ask or quietly consider this one just for you.

Self care reminder: love yourself first, care what people think second.

Do you, it's what you do best ❤
