Good morning! It's Friday and the sun is staying up a little longer every day. We can do this.

Money, help needed... 

waiting to see if my earnings in the past month were low enough for UC to grant me anything, and to hear when the next HMRC grant will be paid (and if it'll be a decent percentage or the 20% they threatened us with in November) and for PIP to start paying my partner (and the back pay they now owe her) and while we wait, panicking about paying bills and having to tell the landlord yet again that rent will be late...

If anyone can help, my cashapp is cash.app/%C2%A3wolfpurplemoon

HRT Clinics, Vegas, Trans Friend in Need, Boost Please 

I have a friend who is just coming out in Vegas.

She is looking for HRT clinics that do informed consent or can easily get access.

I'm unsure if I know anyone who is from or lives in the Vegas Region.

If you do, can you possibly contact me?

Boost this if you can, And I can relay information to her.

It would mean the world, she means a lot to me.

"Dunno; guess I'm just a victim of right wing propaganda..."

don't have to tell all of YOU this, but what a bunch of bullshit to ignore the great work of the Social Web W3C group! Twitter has done nothing but antagonize us in the process. Keep reminding these opportunistic fools. w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#Social_We w3.org/TR/social-web-protocols

re: Racism on Fedi | Describing Racists' use of Slurs 

@Felthry It's all good. I can get things wrong sometimes, or fail to be clear in my wording, and you do me no favours by not speaking up.

re: Racism on Fedi | Describing Racists' use of Slurs 

@Felthry The point is, it had been around for a long time, and it got taken away by petty bullshit that didn't need to happen.

re: Racism on Fedi | Describing Racists' use of Slurs 

@Felthry From what I have heard it had a long history that lead to its creation, and then the instance kind of outgrew the origins.

Correction on this; It wasn't an admin, but they ARE friends with the person who hurled the racist epithet at PlayVicious.

They didn't act against the perp until the perp started turning his toxicity at a white person. Which yeah, it's still telling.

A #GwenfarColours #Florespondence

I wanted to do something Autumnal and chose this page from Joanna Basford's Enchanted Forest colouring book.

I'm fairly pleased with it. Though I should have looked up techniques on how to colour background before I got halfway through!

Just in case you need any more proof that Trump's coven of psychopaths are lying when they claimed there was no ill-intent. They are gaslighting you, don't let them.

I have to wonder if the people responsible for driving away BIPOC folk will ever realize that they're functionally indistinquishable from Kiwifarms save for their C O M M U N I S T C Y B E R U T O P I A A E S T H E T H I C S.

Racism on Fedi | Describing Racists' use of Slurs 

Like, these are the same people who accused an entire instance of queer furries of being racist because someone called a serial harasser a clown, which, by the way, created a shitstorm that ended up with Snouts collapsing after over a decade of operation.

All while on the same breath chased indigenous ex-Snouts users down on twitter to call them a "mangy mutt" or whose admin called PlayVicious a "minstrel show"

They are supposed to be our allies, and yet they merely added to the hundreds of knives already buried on the backs of BIPOC folk.

I will never shut up about how the fediverse drove away an instance for black folks and by black folks. Not until the problems that lead to PV's shut down are fixed.

And I will never shut up about how key users and admins of Elekk contributed to that harassment. Fix your racism, you've already driven away too many people because of it.

"Harmful behavior toward Black women isn’t enough to inspire change until others are harmed, but the original harms are often lost by journalists tasked with covering tech. The power and rhetoric that went unchecked becomes common. And the tactics used against Black women for “lulz” become weapons used in the conspiracies destabilizing the very nature of truth, from the swarming of victims to posing as Black women to destabilizing communities"-S Harry
Sound familiar?

whiteness 

analysis here is so poorly done that non-latine white folks got suckered into believing that white latines are an oppressed class of ppl

and ur seeing these white latines be the megaphone for darker blk or indi latine folks, who are actually silenced by them.

theyre also going around being incredibly racist but theyre 'latine' so its ok.

this place has no potential for liberation.
