Here's what everyone should know about me.
When I was little a teacher accused me of letting a kid that I hated cheat off my test paper.
My mother went to school and said, "You can tell me that she doesn't turn in her work. You can tell me she doesn't listen. But you can not tell me she cheats. Especially with THAT KID.
Don't ever accuse my daughter of cheating."
That Kid was a Dick, but I never let anyone cheat off me.

So here's what's going to happen here.
I have pinned my post about how white CoSo is.
Feel free to share it.
It's not cheating.
Because it's opinion.
Based on facts, but still.
It's pinned.
CoSo is white.
It's not a welcoming place for people of any color but white unless they talk about random things.
It is on everyone here to change that.
If you're calling yourself an Ally then show up
Let people speak without hashtags because life is potentially upsetting.
I'm 52 goddamn years old and all of life is upsetting
Just let people be and speak their lives without yelling HASHTAGS.
Because you can always block.
But you shouldn't.
I laughed in spite of myself.
@marshalldillon @Shelter Ooo. I like being an accomplice.
@Shelter I use hashtags so that I can _find_ things I am interested in following more readily.
Maybe I'm biased by almost four decades in IT, but I'm a fan of content tags.
And if someone want to use my hashtag to opt-out of a conversation they don't want to be part of, well, I support their choice.
Absolutely but policing people by shouting that they need to hashtag their lives is really not great.
@Shelter
don't try to be an Ally.
Be an Accomplice.
