Capitalism has done an amazing job of convincing us that "freedom and equality" is both parents working full time to pay for childcare and house-care instead of each parent working half time and splitting the other work equitably.

Since many people were rightly disappointed by a few well known leftist YouTubers as of late:
I support nonbinary people.
No buts.

Anger, Birdsite Link, Enbyphobia Apologia 

I swear to god I am so fucking tired of seeing breadtube apologists acting like we go out of our way to cancel people or look for reasons to infight whenever we call them out for shitty behaviour. Seriously, this is classic DARVO tactics, and if I ever see you do shit like this in my presence :

I will fucking break my foot up your ass. I don't care who you are, you do NOT get to dismiss and diminsh someone's pain just you can get to feel less guilty for sucking up to a popular leftist Youtuber.

And moreover, if you think that them being gone would be a detriment to the trans community, you're wrong. Other people will replace them, people who are much less bougie and condescending, and much more compassionate to the people who have to live these causes. Contrapoints apologists can go fucking choke on a live grenade.

Alt-Right stuff 

I think a very important point this video makes is towards the end, and it's something I often see people on "our side" trying to do: the idea that 'we' should be trying to save these misguided people from themselves.

Yes, deradicalizing can work, but only in the right situation, at the right time, and generally only if you already know the person. It doesn't work consistently enough and isn't impactful enough in the grand scheme of things to be worth it.

twitter suspension, TERFs 

@Nerts Twitter's one of those hellsites where "anything you say may be used against you" is taken very literally.

Posting While Intoxicated 

a friend of mine has a cat called Doctor Bones and the first thing into my head every time is that Aqua song

Time for more Legend of Legacy! I think we're at the last area before the endgame, so I'll clear that and see how I feel.

Small risk of a looooong training montage night.

SPOOKY MONTH means I may just be drawing a lot of her.

Yeah, I definitely have autism, like not slightly on the spectrum. I am slap bang in it.

That explains a lot tbh

Spider-Punk (Earth 138 Spider-Man) is an anarchist comrade and rad as heck

hollering about normies' attitudes to furries & nazis 

just pissed about seeing liberal/centerist normies going "Furries have standards?" without asking themselves the following up question of "And they're higher than mine?"

thoughts on personal limits 

Wonder if it would be weird to approach people privately and ask them about what limits and mutual understandings they want to set about our friendship so I can act on a less paranoia/depression-fueled perception of my friends/potential friends.

Because I have a hard time inferring, understanding, or acting on things inferred when it comes to interacting with other people.

Hi, I'm Andrea (but Nerts is still fine)
New name & new fursona to go along with a couple other new things about me :V
(Extremely excellent snep art by @Ficus !)

Altfurry, sensitive subjects, coming out about manipulation 

I and my sister @FreyaManibrandr will be attempting to come out about our experiences in the Gamergate/AltFurry pipeline.
Some uncomfortable subjects will have to be thought of again, which kinda hurts, but it'll be necessary.
I hope this can help prevent others from getting sucked in long term.

So I'm doing a birthday fundraiser to a charity again this year.
Anyone able to chip in a bit or share around would be greatly appreciated.

The science of autism 

Since it is hard to find articles that are positive and not ableist about how autistic brains work, I am going to make a small thread about the main things that we know at the moment. I hope this helps any autistic people who are curious about themselves. I am not an expert, this is just what I learned from my neuroscience course. I will first explain some basics of neuroscience, for people who aren't familiar with biology, so you don't have to have any prerequisite knowledge to understand any of this :) If I accidentally leave some of the basics out, feel free to ask me to clarify. I don't know everything but I'll try my best to help :)
