The #kyriarchy (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc) is the default. In Twitter, in Mastodon, in the U.S., in Europe, in Asia, in me, and in you. It's what we do effortlessly because we've been raised to do it. But with effort, we can reduce the harm we cause and protect the people who would otherwise be oppressed.

So we have to make an effort. Raise up oppressed voices. Don't *splain to them. #TipYourServer and help moderate it. Learn to do better.
