Microblog Memes
A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Chances are, if your town has a resivoir or dam, it was built in such a way to flood out or fuck over a thriving black community.
And if not, it was a Native American community
I grew up a block away from Seneca village and only found out about it as an adult when they put up signage in the park telling its story.
Fucken Robert Moses.
Think about what New York would be like without him. Racist scum. If anyone was ever a good candidate for assassination it would be him.
Moreover, this was never mentioned in FRIENDS. That TV show full of certain ppl where central park was like a gag in the show somehow. Lame
There's a town near me that was a black settlement from that period. Now it's white suburbia.
i found it pretty interesting that the slur 'redneck' originally referred to striking labourers who participated in the battle of blair mountain. I'm incredibly cynical mind you, but it revealed to me why the term is culturally contested even to this day.
Stupid question, but I’ve been to NYC many times and I’ve always considered Central Park to be one of the only enjoyable parts of the city… am I allowed to enjoy it if it was taken this way?
People have grandiose expectations of elementary or high school education. At best, you have time to cover topics at a very high level and I've never had a class that even made it to the twentieth century.
As important as this historical tidbit is, it's not a condemnation of history education. More than likely, this would come about in a college level course that is more specific.
