BHM, fedi boycot 1/2
I'm boycotting the fedi this month for #BHM.
W.E did a defed for reasons of antiblackness, & the debate became about being racist towards primarily non black poc, meaning the fedi again shows it doesn't care abt antiblackness; the convo centered ppl NOT Black. That's a problem.
On top of the fact that white ppl were doing what they could to erase Blk voices or being demeaning towards them whilst misusing AAVE, bc it didnt serve their narrative. And they weren't checked 🙃
Personal notice
Any sign of the same nonsense I've endured on PV will have me delete this account with no questions asked fast.
I am professional scholar and artist, and I take my work seriously enough to no longer make space for the bs.
I will NOT take the abuse with grace as I've done for nearly 3 yrs.
I'm here to learn and to educate. BC that is literally my job.
Now lets go
