It’s free during #BlackHistoryMonth. What better time than to take this course? I was honored to be a part of it with so many scholars I admire. Make this a part of your curriculum this month. @MasterClass

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
I hope to get to Black history soon, but I'm still working through white US history. There's so much of it!
Q: Why are Black people in the US so much more likely to die in traffic accidents than white people? Are Black folk more likely to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI)? Is it street racing? Are y'all just bad drivers?
A: Hmm. I'm stumped! No one knows the answer to why this happens! Just kidding. It's racism. It's always racism.

1/ Many potential users complain about Mastodon's sign-up process.
So I'm going to put this under the microscope right now.
To be sure, I'm not going to say it is "bad" or that there shouldn't be a barrier to entry.
Just pointing out ways the sign-up process can be easier. 🧵

@davidbruchmann Yeah. 😢
So many young girls suffered for so long. It's hard to believe that would have gone on for as long as it did if any of the girls had been white.
But it's Friday! Better to focus on Black Excellence, not some pervert abuser!
@davidbruchmann But it's the freakin' weekend! 😅

Once you understand white US history instead of Black history, you'll understand why the following interventions will do much more to improve US Black educational achievement than most of the nonsense we're trying today:
• Bail reform
• Fire racist teachers, including the Bill Cosbys
• Retain anti-racist Black, white, AAPI, Latinx teachers
• Get rid of school cops
• Provide all students free lunch. And breakfast. And afternoon snack.
• Transfer police budget to school budget. Bring back art.

Oh! I almost missed an opportunity to plug Hair Love again!
"Toxic masculinity" doesn't mean that masculinity is toxic, any more than "rabid dog" means that all dogs are rabid. Some masculinity is toxic, and some dogs are rabid.
If you're comfortable with your masculinity, you get to be a better dad.👍🏿

Another #BlackMastodon #BlackHistoryMonth appreciation post
Salute Mark Dean 🫡 — computer scientist/co-inventor of the color PC monitor & processing devices that made PC plug-ins possible (disk drives, vid gear, speakers, & scanners)
He also led team of IBM engineers in creating the 1st gigahertz chip—a revolutionary innovation enabling a billion calculations/second. The man holds 3 of IBMs original 9 patents & now has 20 patents under his belt 👊🏾✊🏾💪🏾
@seanalan I got onto the subject because of @mmasnick's TechDirt site, although I think Karl Bode wrote about the subject most there.
I live in Dallas, which will likely be one of the last places to succeed with community broadband, for many reasons, but I keep thinking about moving, and I keep thinking about making community broadband one of the things I look for if I do. It just make so much sense, and I hate the big companies controlling access so much!
@seanalan I appreciate your work on community broadband! It’s one of many issues I care about at the intersection of tech and politics, so I follow your content on the subject with great interest.
@I_Choose_Exile@mastodon.social I'm so sorry I didn't re-check your address when I first posted! I double-checked the first five, then decided to drop in another five I had queued up, and... I'm sorry.
@venitamathias It's amazing!
I've really been digging your ABC series recently.
@I_Choose_Exile@mastodon.social Exile has switched servers since I composed that list, my bad!
@RockyC I put Silk Sonic on a loop when it first dropped, lasted a few days. Epic is right!
Mastodon isn't going to push people or posts at you or try to guess what you might like to see, so it's up to you to follow many different people and boost many different posts. One thing that helps with that is #FollowFriday!
During Black History Month, I'm suggesting Black people, whether they post mostly about Black History Month or not. Some post mostly about music, or nerd stuff.
