coolthingsiappreciate-blog asked: Hi, I am considering starting a blog similar to this one at McMaster. As a WoC I feel I have recently been aware of and dealt with a number of microagressions along with my friends. Has there been a lot of pushback and any tips?

Hey, I would totally recommend making a similar one. UBC Microaggressions was also recently created. :) I haven’t experienced much pushback but perhaps it is because we haven’t received an exorbitant amount of submissions. 

Promo it intensely. One thing that I would consider is whether or not you wish to be anonymous about it. Or alternatively, to share the responsibility of managing the account. This account is shared in case we need to respond to questions and need collaborative advice. It also diffuses the stress and responsibility of running a tumblr like this.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions!
