“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” - James Baldwin

How cowardly do you have to be to show up in full riot gear and rough up unarmed peaceful protestors. So despicable.

Shantini (shantini@techhub.social)'s status on Monday, 18-Dec-2023 13:18:37 JST Shantini The pedantry and didactic "culture" of this place is exhausting. My mastodon feed is saturated with people arguing about instances and servers and federation. On Threads I'm seeing pet pictures. I'm seeing art. I'm learning about world events. People spend so much time arguing about platform philosophy that they forget the whole point of the platform is the users.

Be *inspired* by the legions of folks who don't let their lack of critical thinking skills get in the way of having prolific careers in tech 🥰

Shantini (shantini@techhub.social)'s status on Sunday, 29-Oct-2023 13:21:47 JST Shantini A tool that is helpful to me when trying to figure out if someone is telling the truth: look at the power differential. Think about whether people with less power are inclined to fabricate accusations.

Shantini (shantini@techhub.social)'s status on Thursday, 06-Jul-2023 12:54:14 JST Shantini Soapbox:
Very few people care about the owner of a social media site when they sign up.
Even fewer people care if it’s open source / democratized.
Nobody gives a shit about the historical conventions of said site.
People just want a good user experience and to do minimal work to use it.
