Hello. I had an account on that other site that got permanently banned like a week after the buyout and have just been offline since basically. I also decided to do a total rebrand of all my websites and ditch the name I used on that site because stalkers got real bad.

One thing that a lot of people are missing in this discourse, is that Kiwifarms users and other stalkers have absolutely been trying to amplify this whole thing to harm furries and popular trans women. They're swarming on it like flies.

The fire was already burning on Twitter, but this caused it to spread to Bluesky, and a lot of ostensibly left-wing people started pouring gasoline on the fire.
You're allowed to think furries are weird, and you don't have to like us. But you also don't have to attack us either.

Allow me to point out that I’ve been mutuals with Parker for a long time and I generally like her takes.
I think the backlash she got was disproportionate. She’s not the main culprit in the modder getting harassed. She wouldn’t even appear in the top 50, considering what happened on Twitter.

I think this entire discourse gives us a good opportunity to forge a fresh expectation of not participating in "atrocity tourism" or "lolcow farming" type behaviors, even if it's not intentional.
With how vulnerable LGBTQ communities, sex workers, and porn artists are right now, just don't do it.

So today I woke up to horrifying war crimes news, senseless and absurd queer infighting, and people griping about fiddly little number-go-up stuff. I chose to write a big long discussion piece about the numbers. Enjoy, maybe learn a thing about game design? www.tumblr.com/wirewitchvio...

So much of this era is the story of mean-spirited dumbasses getting enough power that decent, intelligent people can't step in and stop their terrible dumbass ideas.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

So I seem to maybe have some kind of serious tooth infection causing half my face to swell up and causing pain so debilitating I can barely think and on the off chance I die or something before I can get this treated, I want it on record that it's a direct result of blatant discrimination.

It would be great, just fantastic, if the developers of all these bits of software I use on a regular daily basis, that proudly integrate with each other to recognize that I am streaming a game and asking if they should act different, had the presence of mind to not all start downloading massive

Giving this a little bump because it occurs to me that maybe 4 AM Christmas Eve was not the best time to post a big ol' read for people.
It's that special time that I guess comes once a year now where there's a new season of that new adaptation of Ranma 1/2 out and I get to follow up the most popular thing I think I've ever written with more analysis about how these kids are queer as all hell still:

This story keeps ending up on my feed (Parker Molloy has an excellent article on it downthread), and it is just the perfect encapsulation of how you can ruin any trans person's life on a whim and don't even have to actually rationalize it in any way. This sort of thing is why I'm unable to get work.
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.
