I feel like I need to do a concise fountain pen sins post, for when people can't remember who did what.
-Muji: coerced Uyghur labor
-Noodler's: racism (egregious), ink damages pens, covid conspiracist.
-Goulet: anti-queer, on staff for a southern Baptist Convention church.

Seeing as the Ferris Wheel Press thing is going on in regards to fountain pens, I would like to remind people that the owner of Noodler's Ink is a piece of shit. Also, the inks themselves honestly seem like they are shit. It is incredibly easy to STOP BUYING THEM and STOP POSTING PICTURES

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

I'm not going to dunk on them because I'm not giving them that much of my time or energy.
But I am not adding them to anything, either. Anyone I want on my side is gonna do the work to be there whether or not I'm holding their hand and telling them they're not bad or mean.

Look, as someone who went to a Catholic school, unleashing the more attractive priests and seminarians is a great way to gain support for a cause. If they are not available, round up the hottest firemen you can find.

The idea that once your body is done growing, so is your mind.
"Wait, when is our minds done growing?"
You were never meant to be done growing, learning, examining. But you could be persuaded to give it up.

I am one of those women whose bodies decided after turning 40 that it was time to cause havoc. I have gone from having regular, 3-4 days of bleeding on a 26 day cycle to SUDDEN GUSHES of BIBLICAL BLEEDING.

There is a very good reason why the thing I say most consistently about situations like this is "the violent rhetoric policy is my least favorite policy to write and enforce, and the policy that creates the most upheaval among the userbase when it is applied"!
"bluesky will suspend you for anything vaguely resembling a death threat" is maybe the single most consistent moderation policy they have I don't know why anyone is surprised by this one

Please also remember that when a T&S team is extremely overworked and under-resourced, a massive write-in protest based on that one-sided presentation of the facts will do absolutely nothing but slow down the work even further, because now there's an extra 20,000 emails they have to weed out.
