This issue has been fixed thanks to a very helpful friend who works at bandcamp and was able to escalate the issue. It turns out that one of my songs was tagged with a thing that, out of context, flagged my account as questionable, and I had no way of knowing this or being warned that it’d happen.

“Content moderation gone wrong.” They’re going to figure out how to make it up to me and also hopefully this leads to a process change.

Basically I had a song that was tagged as “alt-right” because it was critical of Trump and his followers. This led to my entire account being tagged as “alt-right” and therefore delisted as being a nazi.

Which is REALLY FUCKING IRONIC on many axes.

Since when do alt-right people self-describe as that, anyway?

This is why content moderation needs to be done by humans, not by algorithms, and why those moderation decisions need to be validated and continuously verified.

Don’t destroy someone’s livelihood because you think you’re doing the right thing without making sure!

Since I'm turning 30 years old on the 23rd of September, you're all free to donate so I can get some nice things for then.

made a height chart of all my pokésonas.

Orchid may not be able to fit in the cab, but if push came to shove, Skypilot could still carry it places

from left to right:
foxglove (ve/ver/vis)
lavender (fae/faer)
lilac (she/fae)
Or-Fi-S (fae/they)
Orchid (it/its)
SkyPilot (it/fae)

musicians have all the right ideas:

- cables and connectors are all big and chonky
- things are built to last more then like 5 years at most
- innovation is actually cool and interesting new features for stuff instead of just cramming as many processors and microphones into something as you can justify so it can spy on you more
- if something is popular they keep making it exactly the same for decades and decades

Shia LaBeouf is alleged to have engaged in physical and emotional abuse towards past girlfriends, including using his possession of firearms as a threat of violence. Content warning also for quoted threatening language and mentions of alcohol abuse.

Imagine a dark souls game where all the enemies are designed by the people who make those very elaborate but grotesque exaggerated political cartoons.

A gift from @Ruthredmane@twitter.com that had me openly crying.

Thinking about how much american society glorifies performance and output and worth and how much it breaks down our self-esteem on an essential level and wishing I could help people feel better about themselves even if they can't succeed in that impossible meritocracy.
