Didn’t even include a whole name.

Hi there,

A Bluesky account you control (@yourfriendpiper.bsky.social) posted:

(CW: sexual violence The person who wrote this (Jen) raped & abused my friend)

(UR was informed of this after the last time they platformed Jen, but I guess they do not consider repeat sexual violence against a trans woman (as well as many other stories of abuse) reason enough to not help someone build their reputation.)

This posts was reviewed by Bluesky content moderators and it was identified as harassment, which is in violation of our Community Guidelines. As a result, the post has been taken down.

You cannot use Bluesky to break the law or cause harm to others. All users must be treated with respect.

Portland businesses: you had better not let Kristi Noem use your bathrooms or else I’ll use your bathroom and you don’t want that

He did teach me the life lesson that appealing to authority is a waste of my fucking time and we just need to do things ourselves. The harm reduction club I was in bought a drug testing kit and kept it in a locker we'd give out the combo to instead. But still fuck you gary.

Piper @yourfriendpiper.bsky.social · 19h

Fuck you gary granger and good riddance, finally.

This is important to me because he is a long-time nemesis of mine because he was hired a the college while I was there and the primary person responsible for the campus security to crack down on weed instead of training them on narcan after two of my peers died.

Abusers do actually intentionally provoke their victims into liking hysterical, especially for others to view

It also really seems like there’s a serious lack of inter generational knowledge sharing thats worse than ever

You can be the safest, most attentive driver in the world and still pose a massive risk to other road users. That’s because cars and car dependency are inherently dangerous.

This doesn’t mean you’re a bad person if you drive, but I do think that drivers should acknowledge their role in this system.

Mayne this is me being a grump or old but yes obviously moderators are going to do petty personal shit this is what people do with any and all power. Sure pressure them but going like “but the TOS!!” is kinda goofy imo

Beware people whose ethics evaporate for a campaign or whatever you want to call this shit.

and like, that isn't a good way to live

that isn't how normal social behavior works

normal people do not think their friends are perfect and everyone their friends have conflict with is evil, and that isn't something I want to seek

Look, I know we Portlanders are busy on other things, but can you drop me links to your most memorably bad pieces of helicopter journalism from the past, oh, ten years that you can recall?
