"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
You never know what a person has been through or still is going through to get to where they're at or trying to be. The struggle out here for people is real. If it has never been your situation don't take that for granted as it will never or could ever be you or someone you love. Just say Thank God

If you are a #twittermigrant - keep your attitude over there. If you choose to be displaying that level of ignorance and idiocy here - and it crosses my posts.. rest assured a very fast block will occur.
Thankfully enough that #Mastodon unlike #twitter has active and very capable admins who are quick to act on reports of abuse on the terms of service and rules of each instance/server
YAY

Your regular reminder to please #challenge and correct, vocally, confidently, and often, the #cisnormative narrative.
#Cisnormativity is a structure of privileges, assumptions, and oppression that organizes social power around gender identity where cisgender people (those who identify their gender with the sex they were registered at birth) and ideas are placed at the top above all others.
Degenderize -everything-. Only refer to #gender where you are 100% certain of the gender identity after having asked or been told. There are no gender roles. Cis-women are not the only people who give #birth. Men (cis or not) can get #breastcancer. #Toys and #clothes have no gender orientation. Challenge yourself when you are about to refer to something referencing 'men' or 'women' to find a #genderneutral alternative.
It's not as hard as people think. #BeBetter

In whose interest is it to frame this positive, like this!?
Despicable plastic journalists appealing to the lowest common denominator!
#ARS are amongst the worst in the #Gaming #media #business for this type of trashy bile and here again we find them damaging reputations and tarnishing a consumer positive entirely unnecessarily!
We don't want this makeup of person or company involved in our hobby in any way!

@jerpirate Wow, I haven't seen any of that yet, thank goodness! Far as I can see #Mastodon servers are deliberately anti-racist and that makes it an ideal place for us to educate each other about the racist impact of us white folk playing out our privilege and sense of entitlement. Thanks for calling it out. #AntiRacist #EqualRights #BeBetter #MeetMeInTheMiddle

@lisafox @paw honestly .... i hate it. really. this kind of "humor" irks me. sure, the Black Ferns are flavor of the month, and it is trendy and even fashionable to dump on the All Blacks right now but imagine being an All Black that pours you heart & soul into what you do to then read crap like this masking as clever. so tired of Kiwis being the best supporters when stuff goes well but then turning feral when things aren't 100%. #BeKind #BeBetter.
@thespinoff #BeKind NZ. be uplifting NZ. be the change we'd all like to see. it's hard, and I'm trying, but #BeBetter NZ.
Note to Self: new beginnings, fresh starts
don’t get dragged into online slanging matches - #BeBetter and simply ignore #Trolls #Bots and accounts without any sense of perspective
#empathy with reasoned, rational and-or alternative opinion 👍
It’s always well worth engaging with different views; but hate and vitriol just isn’t worth the ag
