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.

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

It feels good to be able to speak up. Abuse on the Fedi is insidious because it lurks under the surface, and is wallpapered over by yes-ppl constantly gaslighting everyone about it.

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.

Just buy indie. The large publishers are running a racket.

The difference between furry and therian discourse:

furry - this is theoretically fun. Here's how you MUST do it.

therians - this is theoretically deeply spiritually meaningful. Here's how you MUST do it.

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.)
