Your value doesn't come from meeting someone else's expectations. You have inherent value because you exist.

You are beautiful exactly as you are. You are not broken. You deserve good things.

Anyone who says differently can get bent.

It's your life. Live it the way YOU want!

Be you ♥️

Really appreciating the warm welcome we received at our new home for the next few months in London. We’ll be here while I rehearse and perform my legacy project, the Broadway musical Allegiance. Hope you catch it starting on Jan if you’re here in town. https://allegiancemusical.com

Along the lonely US395, in California but on the other side of the mountains, and flagged by a highway sign and some rock pillars is a monument that the US tried to forget

Thousands of Japanese were interred here during WWII stripped of their freedom, their property, their belongings, much of which was never recovered

Most of the site was bulldozed after the war, trying to give it back to the chaparral

Foundations like the hospital here and the cemetery are all that is left

This was Manzanar

Welcome #twittermigration! I just rejoined 2 weeks ago. Folks are friendly & it feels neighborly around here! Say hello more, ask after each other!

Some tips:
💜 likes are seen by poster & you only, as there's no algo to 'game' the system!
💜 it's common to boost posts that you like so that more people can see!
💜 Chosing servers? Be sure to get a sense of if folks share similar interests by clicking Local & Federated on sidebar
💜 Also look at About page to understand a server's moderation!

The generation now and future must get into their head that the itch to get more #Likes and #Followers is not what internet or social media was supposed to be. People should get out of the force induced algorithmic social media. Mastodon is the way forward. #MastIndia #TwitterMigration

A few people have commented on slow timelines or interaction with other servers. There has been a massive surge in activity today and our queues are very large, they should reduce over time. Please hang in there!

Maybe you all know this already but twitter allowed academics who are otherwise marginalised by white, male hieracrchies to enjoy reach and visibility. (Yes, I count myself as a beneficiary here).

For many who have 'odd' names that don't get cited as much, or people who cannot travel to present talks easily, or are not invited as often or speak in unfamiliar accents, it was a chance to let their work and message speak for itself.

We'll need to reclaim that possibility for everyone. #Academic
