i can’t be trusted to use the “before you react or engage—for your own mental wellbeing—maybe look more closely at this person, because it seems like they might value the opinions of men who believe you’re less human than other humans” information responsibly.

hi. i’m the problem, it’s me.

Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.

You hand them copies of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, tell them that you're descended from the Merovingians, and wink at them until they get it

If you are a Canadian NSFW artist, please keep an eye on your account after Oct 15 and contact me if any of your media/account is censored with the new ToS.

I may have a follow-up meeting with the federal government in the coming months to address this.

I didn't realize until recently that I actually enjoy horror-comedies a lot, which shouldn't be surprising for somebody who can't resist throwing in jokes in the middle of the sex scenes I write

I'm so good at writing male characters. My ex pointed out that I fail the "reverse Bechdel Test" because any conversation between the female MC and any male character ends up being about another female character who isn't there

This is fascist.

"Regular" prisons constantly and regularly ban books.

That's fascist, too.

"I don't endorse this content, I just want to look at it" You would not believe how easy it is to look at somebody's account to hate-read it instead of following

If I didn't want anyone to know who I was following, I would simply make an alt account instead of demanding everyone change their understanding of what it means to follow somebody on social media 🤷‍♀️

Rose 🌹 @rose.bsky.team · 12h

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

"The Prelapsarian queer community of decades past when everyone held my exact objectively correct gender and sexual politics and nobody was mean to anybody until Satan appeared and invented out of thin air all the positions I disagree with" I don't think that happened
