A mid-guard zoner.

So Valerie is considering fae/faer pronouns, and I am suddenly very aware of the fact that I am the (ostensibly) binary girl in a system with two enbies.

I think it's pretty cool to see. This self-exploration wasn't a thing 3 years ago, and a lot has changed in the past year, mostly for the best. I admire Val for being so strong.

As a reminder, I'm offering my services as a professional editor free for anarchist and BIPOC-oriented publications, pamphlets, whatever you'd like to have reviewed before it goes out to the public. My publication credits are available upon request.

Lots of gatekeepers out on twitter today unpersonning bi/pan lesbians, and it makes no sense to me.

Like, being pan is already a big spectrum/umbrella identity anyways, and with how much of a fluid spectrum gender is, it's hard to justify lesbianism to be just one thing when there's so many ways to be femme, have femme traits and have attraction to femme folks, or folks with femme traits.

If you self-identify as a pan lesbian, you are indeed very valid, regardless of if you mean that you're attracted to femininity in all people, or simply lean more on the sapphic side of the pan spectrum, or anything else.

Don't let the gatekeepers run the narrative. You don't need their permission to exist.

when you or i say 'the economy':
things being made, things getting done, people getting paid

when conservatives say 'the economy':
the process of wealth being transferred from the many to the few

The gender of the month seems to be screaming enby possum, squirrel, jackalope, werewolf girl lately.

I am liking the inclusion of possum moods lately.

White people: Colonizes every space they find, forces people to behave in a neurodivergent-exclusionary way, and gets disabled, poc and trans people suspended, or bullied off platforms if they don't follow the script.

Also white people: "Why are you cancelling us!!!????!?!?! How dare you speak up against us, we will violate your privacy and drag YOUR dirty laundry out in the open, and then we'll see who the bad guy is!"

So Odi, one of my adoptive grandchildren was stalked and attacked by someone who was supposedly a good friend of his for his anti-cop tweets.

This "friend" (@PliskinCat on Twitter) happened to be a cop who is physically very built, so you can imagine how this can be intimidating.

What pissed me off the most about this is that he chased Odi down in private messages to gaslight, intimidate and emotionally blackmail him for his anti-cop sentiments, making Odi feel guilty, like he did something wrong when he didn't. And after Odi blocked him, he sent his girlfriend (@Novaloux on Twitter) to stalk and monitor his posts.

So let this be a warning to cut off contact with PliskinCat and his girlfriend when you can, because he's a cop, and he's likely going to harvest your social media posts for any criticism of cops he can weaponize and use against you. He's also been known to be really greasy like hit on trans folk, as a cop. I don't need to explain why that is gross, or terrifying.

When people are getting upset about burnt buildings, people reply with "that building was no angel" "it shouldn't have resisted" and "it had intoxicants in its system"

what the unbelievable fuck

If you're white or white passing, claiming to be an ally and complaining that you're being yelled at by POC, let me explain it this way; Yes, we get it. We have felt it long before you came into the picture. We grew our entire lives up under the boot of cops and hating them.

The problem isn't that you're swinging at cops.

The problem is that we know how you handle activism, and that you're treating your outrage as if you're suddenly a better person for it. That you're fundamentally misunderstanding that how you treat POC day to day with condescension and casual ableism is what contributed to the environment in which people normalize racism against POC. That you only get into activism for POC because a white person made it look and sound cool to you. It's that you don't understand that if you're spending time talking about it at length, you're pissing away the opportunity to get out there to protest while the iron is hot, or doing anything to materially improve the lives and status of POC when the dust settles.

Words aren't enough anymore to improve our lives, your anger alone isn't enough, what we need is direct action and a fundamental change in how white people see POC. Because your allyship right now, sounds a lot like white saviour complex, and we see it taunting us, telling us that we will never be seen as equal.
