Hello, all! My name is Web. I'm a #CSI, a #film geek, #gamer, #jazz enthusiast, and a pop culture junkie. I record a monthly #podcast about Indian cinema/culture called Darn That Dream. I studied #biology and #forensics in school and am very passionate about #science and #education. I want to one day be a #teacher at the high school or college level.

#Introductions

Both my follows and unfollows are currently more accidental than anything else 😂 I’m sorry. I also just realized that many, many people have left me messages on Instagram in a section called “Request” that I didn’t know existed.

I don’t want you guys to let up on getting @paulengelhard’s account unbanned for those of you who haven’t abandoned Twitter). He’s a tremendous voice because nobody is more “othered” than a POC German. Black and Asian Germans are constantly spoken to in English by Germans, because “they don’t look German”. Different experience for Arab or Turkish Germans, we are expected to speak fluently. Paul is the kind of voice that needs a microphone during these dark days. Not for his sake but ours.

@gargron of course but the point is to be heard. He’s had a bunch of prominent followers there who retweeted him to people who need to hear the stuff he says. I mean, I went from 55k followers on Twitter to 150 here. It’s certainly more peaceful but it’s a much smaller echo chamber

I’m genuinely excited to be microblogging on a platform not infested with Nazis. It‘s a fresh start; a vast landscape is at my feet to shape as I see fit. So much love to @Lexialex for taking the leap! I hope others follow suit, and we cultivate a positive experience on Mastodon. 😊

What’s up with all these British TV dramas featuring some version of a Muslim terrorist plot? McMafia is about Russians, still features Muslim terrorists. Next of Kin (oh dear, oh dear) I was really excited about Collateral....but guess what? Oh yes. This time they’re Syrians. UK...get your people

I‘m still trying to figure this out. Pardon me while I follow and unfollow you a million times. I can only sign in here on a browser. Every app I downloaded so far tells me my password is invalid. But good news...i can upload photos of Monty

Please follow the fuck out of Lexi Alexander @Lexialex , mad respect to you and for what you did during the Harper's whistleblower incident.

@BigAngry you know, sadly I never got this card. I have to give people my management’s address for security reasons and they usually forward stuff like this, but they swear they haven’t received it. Sorry it didn’t get to me, but it is much appreciated

Welcoming film and TV director and social justice advocate @Lexialex to the fediverse. She just made a principled move away from Twitter after they banned someone’s account for cussing a Nazi (https://twitter.com/Lexialex/status/965990299401990144)

Welcome, Lexi!

CC @Gargron

First thing first, welcome the amazing, talented, smart-as-fuck TV & Film director Lexi Alexander to Mastodon/Octodon! @Lexialex made her way over after the bird site banned a friend and colleague's account for verbally chewing out a fuckin' nazi, which is to be celebrated, not banned. Lexi is one of my favorite people (I even sent her a holiday card this past year) and I hope she's as prosperous on this site as the previous. Except there'll be a MARKEDLY lower amount of assholes on here!
