Hey you! Do yourself a favour and get a real profile image. Do it now! Fill in your bio and add a banner too, but mostly get a dang image that isn't one of those solid colour and white line drawing/icon images. Everyone thinks you're a bot.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.
