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.

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.

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.

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 :)
past memories, privacy, mh
It's easy to believe that your conditions are fine, that you can put up with them. But once you get out, once you find better, and can heal and discover just how painful things really were, it's a big thing.
I'm more than grateful that I was able to get away, and even if my healing has been slow, even if I feel like I should be better off than I am by now, it's important. It really is.
@Are0h it’s all so artificial, too. These people do not need to be suffering. The housing is there. The food is there. The materials are there, but money bars them from it.
Daryl Davis
I find it interesting how the only people in this day and age who idolize Daryl Davis are the reactionaries who want to use his body of work to stop efforts to fight fascism in a much more direct way. And today he's come out speaking against antifa and how we're oh so violent.
All I gotta say is, It's only a matter of time. You break bread with fascists long enough, and eventually you'll fall into their habits and mannerisms. I need to emphasize that while Daryl Davis may have once been an ally, he is now an enemy, he's been co-opted and taken in by the modern language of neo-fascists. He's bought into the respectability politics when de-escalation is no longer a viable option today.
It's no longer the 1960's where racists are emboldened to go out and about with skinhead tattoos, and wear bedroom sheets with the Klansman logo on them. Modern fascism is a lot more subtle, insidious, subversive and dangerous, with the public image of them being the clean-cut, clean shaven models of Americans you wouldn't suspect to be out of place in the 1950's.
Remember, out and about villains are easy to identify, but the truly ugly, the truly dangerous people are the ones who hide behind virtue. Don't be fooled.
the word "lazy", mh, abuse (thread)
I am not lazy. You are not lazy. Stop acting like throwing such a damaging word around to write others off is okay.
Abolish "lazy".
