Imani Gandy

So people are saying I should introduce myself:

My name is Imani aka AngryBlackLady.

Abortion rights are pretty much my entire personality.

I'm a lawyer, SCOTUS nerd, a journalist, and an expert in repro rights and justice and related law.

I am Editor-at-Large at Rewire News Group—the only nonprofit publication dedicated to repro rights health and justice.

I co-host a podcast called Boom! Lawyered with Jess Mason Pieklo.

I have three rescue dogs and I live outside Boulder, Colorado.

@AngryBlackLady Oh my goodness, I was just mentioning you (positively, of course). Welcome! So glad to see you here on the Fediverse - it is far from perfect, but it works for now.

@AngryBlackLady btw I am no expert, but I have been using this software since 2018 or so - so feel free to hit me with questions about why this or that thing isn't fucking working lol

@AngryBlackLady I miss Colorado so much! Cute pups 😍 Welcome, or welcome back!

@AngryBlackLady yay! I didn't realize you were on Mastodon (I only joined this summer and I'm still figuring out my way around). I learned a lot from following you on Twitter back in the day. 💖

Also your dogs are adorable 🥰

@kzeta thanks Kate! I appreciate that

@AngryBlackLady yay! Hello! I love your dogs so much haha

@AngryBlackLady

"SCOTUS nerd"

Oh my that must be very difficult these days, I can hardly imagine!
My condolences.

@AngryBlackLady SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!!!!!!! YAY FOR THE FEDIVERSE! 💕💕💕💕

@AngryBlackLady If anyone, anyone sends you a nasty DM please let us know. Over here is far easier for harassment to be highly pinpointed, with no one seeing it but you. Go to @feditips for safety precautions.

I didn’t miss too many when I left twitter 2 years ago, but I’ve missed you terribly! I remember when your couch got delivered to your new place. Lolol 😂🥳

@AngryBlackLady I followed you on the other place. Glad to see you active here.

@AngryBlackLady Hey! Nice to see you here! In better news, at a letter to voters party here in St. Louis, my white cis male husband chose a stack of Missouri "yes on 3 letters" to write and send. How are all men not pro-women's healthcare???? It's just good sense! It's a non-partisan campaign, so he had to be admonished not to wax too lyrical in his support of abortions and all healthcare choices. In case anyone is still wondering why I married the weirdo.

@AngryBlackLady What a great surprise finding that you're here! Glad to be able to follow you again. I missed your voice.

@AngryBlackLady I was never at the other place, but welcome. Mastodon needs more angry Black women, because God knows there's a lot to be angry about.

@AngryBlackLady OMGOMGOMG!!! Have missed you since the good old bird site days

@AngryBlackLady Welcome, the world is a better place, now that you are Here!

@AngryBlackLady

I have been reading your content daily over at the Bad Place for several years, welcome!

@AngryBlackLady SO happy to have you around and your dogs are adorable!!

@AngryBlackLady Welcome back! Definitely have missed you since I dropped Xitter.

@AngryBlackLady

My Sammy II died yesterday. Although he was a fish.

Welcome!

@AngryBlackLady dang, lady! Honestly, if you had asked me last week? I was already on top of following your account.
Glad you're here on the Fediverse. Like I say, tho - you been here in spirit.

@AngryBlackLady Welcome! Glad you're here!

My fav is to subscribe to a ton of things and to cope with all the cool nerdy hashtags, I like to use the web site view and make columns.

One for important hashtags like #DogsOfMosstodon #CatsOfMosstodon and another for favorite #cooking content, others for groups of people, etc.

@AngryBlackLady There are so many cool cooking hashtags, just try searching for your favorites.

@AngryBlackLady Stranger sliding in to say: I've read things from you on other social media (probably X?) so I knew some of that intro content but I'm not sure I've seen pics of those magnificent beasts. LOOK AT THOSE GOOD DOGS! Clearly SO GOOD!

@AngryBlackLady @rmd1023 by which I mean to say: "yeah they're good dogs.I*also* have a good dog."

@stripey @AngryBlackLady This is why I am often very specific in my adoration of dogs I meet. "WHO'S THE BEST DOG IN ARM'S REACH?" or "WHO'S THE BEST DOG IN THSI ROOM?"

@rmd1023 @AngryBlackLady of fish this is both a wisdom and an invitation to wrassle or have a bass fish-off

@AngryBlackLady I love Rewire - follow you guys on Instagram. So glad you're here!!

@AngryBlackLady ooh, I’m another former Twitter follower who missed you so this news makes my day! Welcome to the Fediverse!

@AngryBlackLady Yesssss, I loved your commentary and insights on Twitter. Welcome and thank you for being awesome.

@AngryBlackLady Hello, Imani, and welcome. Colorado is beautiful. I might have to flee there from Montana one of these days. I might have to run farther than that if Harris doesn’t win. Hold tight to that anger.

*Adorable doggies!

@AngryBlackLady hello and welcome! I missed you when I left the other place, glad to see you here.

@AngryBlackLady Welcome! Longtime follower over @ the other place - glad to see you here!

One quick tip: if you'd like to follow someone on bluesky from here (or enable them to follow you here), first follow mstdn.social/@bsky.brid.gy@bsk
which acts as a 'bridge' between the two networks (doesn't work for all bsky accounts - they have to 'follow' the bridge account on bluesky as well...)

Also, a good follow is mstdn.social/@icymi_law@esq.so (bot that boosts law stuff posts)

@AngryBlackLady Yours is one of the voices I’ve missed since I left Twitter, so I’m excited to see you start posting on Mastodon!

@AngryBlackLady Oh, hi- nice to see you over here again. 'Tis a pleasant place.

@AngryBlackLady welcome ma’am. Lovely to have you here. Love seeing more black folk on the platform.

@AngryBlackLady So glad to see your posts again. I missed that when I ditched Twitter

@AngryBlackLady welcome Imani. And thanks for the important work you do!
