Well, I just stumbled across a new feature where you can include a Call to Action button right on your video! This quick video shows how it works - super simple.

So, I've read you should introduce yourself when joining Mastodon, so… Hi 👋 nerdy freelancer from Barcelona, currently in Basel. Doing Scala for cash, eager to move towards Rust, DevOps, and higher-value propositions. But, most importantly, eager to build stuff :) Now, does somebody have a time-twister? A 24h day is not very long, and one grows old…

👏 Gov. Gretchen Whitmer makes historic pick for Michigan Supreme Court vacancy
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has chosen state Rep. Kyra Harris Bolden to fill a seat on the Michigan Supreme Court, making her the first Black woman to serve on the state's high court.
#Twitter: "Gonna be pwning n00bz on my Twitch channel in 20 minutes! Follow or die!"
#Mastodon: "I am a nuclear biologist, gardener, writer, and developer. I recently rewrote the code to the entire web, baked a lovely shepherd's pie, forged a Damascus steel sword for my wife, and wrote an entire book of prayers in Old English for my children."
I think I've been on here for almost a week and enjoying my experience so far, still looking for a couple different groups -> #blacktwitter #BlackMastodon #creatives #designers #marketing

Hello! This is my #introduction.
I have a maths brain & an #anthropological heart. #polymath #interdisciplinary
I research #peace, #disarmament, #nuclear, #bodies, #aesthetics, #medicine, #cardiology, #digital, #death, #history, #activism, #anthropology, #geography, #theory, #philosophy.
My research praxis coalesces around a nexus of STS, social justice & human rights, and feminist & decolonial discourse.
I'm in the #Peaks & enjoy #photography, #hiking, #cello, #chess & #painting. ♿✡️
Pronouns and Privilege
Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.
I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.
Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.
As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.
My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that Black or LGBTQ+ members have.
I have been blinded by two big fictional stories taught as truth and have guided me most of my life.
Discarding them has been difficult, but necessary. Still, that's been done in the comfort of my own privileged identity.
That is to say, since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name ("Guhlin" is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.
So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.
To everyone's surprise, Toot! v17.0 is out!
This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:
* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.

Yesterday, I posted my view that international sporting events should not be held in countries that subordinate women. Some folks favorited, some boosted. Several replied, all men, asking if I meant the U.S. too, as if I either didn’t think of this (eesh) or as though this were a reductio refutation of the claim (no, it isn’t). One person countered that this would leave only “eight or nine countries without the resources to host.” Well, there you have it, sir.
Disturbed by reports of Black Mastodon users—Black women in particular—having negative experiences on this app, including being randomly banned for discussions of racism. Some of these users will not come back. All will share their experiences. The answer is not to condescendingly lecture them on “how the fediverse works,” as if their experiences are inevitable, nor to swear to do better next time. (There may not be one.) It’s to do better now lest the reputation of this app be cemented.
Me newbie intro: I'm Sarah (she/her). In short I think about/research #race, #gender, #democracy, and #activism through their relations to #media and #tech. I wrote a book about Black #celebrity & the press, then about #HashtagActivism & #counterpublics on that other site, & am now writing a cultural & political history of Black mediamaking in the U.S. I'm a #Sagittarius and I love #dogs, #peloton, #yoga, #protest, and the #outdoors. Based on land stewarded by the Lenape.
