#BlackTwitter also has a home on #Mastodon with a dedicated instance (not sure who runs it) but definitely a place to branch into. #BlackMastodon #BlackFediverse #BlackFedi

February is the Black History Month here in the US, and a great opportunity to recommit to making the fediverse (and beyond!) a safe and welcoming place for Black people.
Let's continue to lift up their voices, celebrate their joys, and if you see trouble, step in and help out.
I can't let this 1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth go by without highlighting one of my favorite people in the WORLD!!
Elizabeth Cotten! 1895-1987
Self taught lefty learning on a right handed guitar by reversing it. Which became known at the "Cotten style"
Began composing her own works at age 10! Won a grammy at nearly 90 years young!
She has and still inspires legions of artists across genres today.

Good morning, y'all! You know what time it is!
#BlackHistoryMonth all year long! Always and in ALL ways!
If you'd like to be a blessing to me all is appreciated as housing costs are due.
