Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

Okay #histodons out there. I’m a global historian of slavery, the slave trade, #abolition and more recently #imperialism and #colonialism. I’m currently working on a book that examines the suppression of “piracy” at a global scale in the 19th century and that will be published by #YaleUniversityPress
Following the #Twittermigration, I’m looking forward to interacting with fellow historians, without having to put up with all the fascist trash that has taken over the bird’s site. #histodon

Love this quote.

"There's something oddly comforting about the idea that "if you're not paying for the product, you're the product," namely, the corollary: "If you can afford to pay for a product, you won't be the product." But it's bullshit. Companies don't make you the product because you don't pay – they make you the product because you can't stop them."

Gustavo Petro has internationalized Colombia's Indigenous politics. Petro chose Leonor Zalabata Torres, an Arahuaco leader, as Colombia's Permanent Reprasentative to the UN. Zalabata Torres has been a leader of Native, environmental and human rights, and was an advisor for Colombia's 1991 constitution.

Pediatrician here. I care for LGBTQ+ youth.

Many state & federal leaders decrying #ColoradoSprings are the same ones given ample chances to vote for #LGBTQ policies to help our community, but don’t. Many support anti-LGBTQ laws.

Homo/transphobia & violence are a direct result.

I've just updated the flowchart explaining "The Visibility of a Toot" again.

It now includes "following a hashtag", a mention of relays and a disclaimer about blocks.

You can also link directly to the flowchart using an anchor link, adding #flowchart to the end of the url, like this:

Hmm. I guess my first official "toot" (really?) should test how well astronomy pictures look on this platform. Here's a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy over the Southern Alps. The galaxy is more than 2.5 million light years away from Earth. #astronomy
