Amid the human horrors of these days, and to use a word from the article, this piece was restorative. Thank you @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social for this.

Almost exactly ten years ago. Someone please find a Republican with a backbone (I know, I know) who can be the first to stand up and say this is enough, this has to stop.

Resistance, compassion, care. ❤️

More of people in power telling fascist murderers to fuck off, please. JFC, all decent USians, so much sympathy and love to you.

If everyone were more like my hairdresser, the world would be a much better place. When faced with something new: Oh wow, that's so interesting, people really function in such different ways, I'm going to go read up on this, thank you! Today I got to educate her on polyamory. 😊

A historian (Dan Bouk) taught me that history doesn’t repeat itself. It simply ripples. This forces you to look for the threads. And the entanglements. And to remember that interventions also create ripples. You can’t simply repeat a previous intervention when you see a connection. Context matters.

This Neil Gaiman thing is disturbing, but now is a good time to make known that his behavior is NOT a representation of BDSM between CONSENTING adults. There are two terms known in the community: SSC (Safe, Sane, Consensual) and RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink) and he obviously practiced neither.

Between the California prison system's firefighter program and the Neil Gaiman stuff, I'm realizing people don't understand that consent under duress is not consent

What was it that Granny Weatherwax had said once? "Evil starts when you begin to treat people as things".

Trying to get my head around this platform and trying to get my head around how to write larp characters. We will be needing chocolate.

Well that wasn't what I would have wished for as my first post, but here we are. Hi.

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...
