Secondly, as someone who had been "cancelled" multiple times and deplatformed as retaliation against me speaking on toxic whiteness and abusive groups and their dynamics. It's not the worst thing to happen in the world, get over it, you privileged bougies. You are not entitled to an audience or a platform, and acting like it is is very much white privilege.
Instance owners who can't handle the responsibility of taking criticism from the marginalized should not be instance owners.

It really is telling of the whiteness of the person if the phantom menace of "cancel culture" is invoked whenever they are taken to task for something they did/enabled.
1st off, you do this cancel shit to untokenable marginalized folk all the goddamn time. Like the times my GF and I get demonized in leftist spaces for talking about the problem with whiteness. Or when seattle postfurries tried to silence me when I spoke up about how their actions fucked my GF out of medical insurance.
NRA files for bankruptcy, plans move from NY to Texas
National Rifle Association (#NRA) files for #bankruptcy protection under chapter 11, after NY AG filed a suit to dissolve the organization for corruption and misappropriation of funds. It will leave NY and reincorporate as a 'non-profit' in #Texas, where they will find a more welcoming government https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/15/nra-files-for-bankruptcy-says-it-will-reincorporate-in-texas.html

We need to normalize the practice of blowing abuse cases wide open and forcing perps to own their shit and be accountable for it.

UK, trans feminine, Brighton, paid interviews
"PAID INTERVIEW CALLOUT kateodonnellx is looking to speak to Brighton based trans femmes of colour about their pandemic, experiences with Pride/Trans Pride Brighton, and more. For more info email alice@arch468.com"
On that note, this Youtube video is a fantastic breakdown of pkmn Red/Blue/Yellow’s sprites.
I feel it really shows how the limitations of the hardware allowed the first pkmn games to have amazing pixel graphics.
asking for financial help, boosts appreciated

The Big Five Publishers have been price-fixing again, this time with Amazon!
Just buy indie. The large publishers are running a racket.
A comrade in Richmond, Virginia just launched a kickstarter for his food sovereignty project- already doing tons of work and tons of food grown for mutual aid. Check it out, share WIDELY, and if you’re able/inclined, throw a few bucks towards a Black led food sovereignty project

Meta, resolution, ideas?
@CaribenxMarciaX a lot of instance owners makes things harder for themselves by putting themselves into a religious mindset where either a person does not harm, or is the worst person ever.
The idea of taking responsibility to fix what was broken, and redemption for reformed parties is alien to them.
Meta, resolution, ideas?
I'm thinking about @bees @honey.town thread (chef 😙) on meta discourse on the fedi
This place is not well, hasn't been for a time, so I've been wondering about what next steps this place can actually take
I mentioned to bees accountability, Humility and patience... Altho im low on patience.
Ppl need to make hard choices & realize an error doesn't make you bad. It's OK
Mormonism and gender (1/?)
I started writing this out on Tumblr but I'll kind of paraphrase it here:
In Mormon culture, it's not considered "gay" or gender-nonconforming for men to be interested in theater, musicals, or singing/dancing. It's also considered admirable for men to cry, especially when experiencing strong emotions or being "moved by the Spirit." (I could write a whole other thing about the intricacies of crying within Mormonism.)
