re: upcoming podcast about rowling, transphobia
@Kye That's nice, now if only she'd apply the same standard to herself when people called her out for associating with buck angel and espousing, frankly disgusting, truscum views, while attacking the nonbinary trans community.
Please help me get stable while I am in a bit of a financial bind
"As I work to complete my program, I realize I cannot work any kind of “regular” job. Since I am trained as and enjoy working as a photographer, I intend to freelance to sustain myself as I study. These last couple of months have been particularly difficult as I’ve tried to maintain."

@astra Velvet: This is a mood. We have always felt obliged to be the pillar of emotional strength, and felt great shame over asking for help ourself.

You don't get to play the victim and claim that you were bullied when the inciting incident is you telling people to unalive themselves.
You are a crybully, and you choosing to shut your own instance down over the backlash instead of taking responsibility and apologizing for suicide baiting people is a bitch-made coward move.
meta, fediblock
Since there's apparently fediblock discourse again: "instance blocking is a last resort" and "instance blocking is a frequent occurrence" can both be true simultaneously.
There's an awful lot of people (including instance admins!) who still need to learn how to deal with community safety effectively and what the impact of their choices is on other communities.
If you want to see the amount of instance blocking reduced, then your focus should probably be on "eliminating the reason for it" rather than "telling people not to do it" or invoking cancel culture rhetoric.
This includes things like "understanding how one admin's failure to moderate leads to everybody else's workload increasing", and "when someone is behaving abusively, the primary focus should be on the safety of the victim(s) and not on the abuser, even when the abuser has trauma/etc. themselves".

@tabitha@chitter.xyz @Russell She probably doesn't care. She probably only claims to be a part of the left as a means of gaining social currency.

@tabitha@chitter.xyz @Russell She needs to be signed up for the "Please please please get a life!" Foundation
@goaty I'd say both. And now I am curious as to what tools would be involved in such an undertaking.
