In the US, who you are is intimately tied into what you consume, and we have a very superficial of understanding people, in that we assume people present themselves in a way that they want to be perceived. I've had so many men, for instance, tell me that they "love the natural look" and hate it when women wear what they deem "too much" makeup. But my bare face isn't my choice—my choice would be flamboyant eyeshadows and raccoon eyeliner and colored lipsticks. Unfortunately, my and prevent that, unless I want painful cyst outbreaks and scratched corneas.

gives us a false sense of in our lives. If who you want to be is just a matter of purchasing power, then you can buy your identity. But those identities are out of reach for so many people—those with disabilities, those who are working class, those who are people of color, queer folks, etc. It also allows for , since it's a mindset that assumes no one is subject to exploitation, oppression, or othering in the ways we move through the world. We're all just reduced to people who buy things.

And that's such a sad, paltry existence. In 2020, we realized , a world where people cared about , where we masked to protect , where we had time to slow down and create. Yes, was and is still terrifying, but it also showed us an existence not centered on .

@TheBird After listening to Jonathan on the podcast the other day, I agree with everything he says but am puzzled as to why no mention of in this long thread.

OK but when this is framed solely in terms of BIPOC then it perpetuates exclusion of and doesn't firewall against any form of which though not really a problem here, at all, at this time, occasionally does interfere with a .

I understand that against is not a sufficient remedy for the contend with, but to the extent that others (not Jonathan) overtly discourage "yts" from dialogue we create a centrifugal force of exclusionary identity politics.

White people who express solidarity with are bombarded by hateful DMs. To then be told by some leaders of indigenous conversation on Mastodon to stay out of moderation discussions, don't offer suggestions is a bit put offish.

At least Jonathan is engaging in broad dialogue and not an insular "POC-only" silo, so that is cool.

Hello to my journalistically incline friends. For newer newbies than I, here are my suggestions:

1st: Create your profile.
2nd: Write an introduction of yourself. Use lots of hash tags.
3rd: Always include a text description with your photos for or rather folks.
4th: Make it clear in your profile and first posts who you are where you are at so people will know you are safe and on the level - ie. not etc.
