the problem with compromise for dignity is that it's not a compromise, it's a betrayal even to yourself.

You yourself may not be one of the weird ones that "make us look bad" or whatever. Maybe you're proud of that. But you must realize that subscribing to the idea that you ought to adhere to some degree of "normal" to be respectable means you're making the agreement that you yourself should not be allowed that right of outlandishness.

THEN you impose it on others

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

"Once a shitty person, always a shitty person." Or "Lol you traded one extreme for another!" Are lines we often got hit with back then.

How ironic then that my persecutor got themself """cancelled""" for pluralmisia, and the rest of them were caught being a part of the Furry Raiders.

I've been meaning to draw the *other* Linux mascot for a while and this ASCII art phase seemed appropriate, so here's a Xenia.

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

Given how we were preyed on and persecuted by moral narcissists as we we were clawing our way out of Altfurry spaces 3 years ago, and how traumatic that experience was.

I get some vindictive satisfaction from seeing them crumple and back off as soon as the question of endgame is put on the table.

this may seem almost insultingly reductive of a complicated issue, but really it's the definition, i would argue.

i think that's actually a really big deal, because it clearly marks a turning point. once history is forgotten or distorted to the point that your sense of consequence is skewed, it destroys any context you can have for empathy. hi terfs!

or really, if you see overpopulation as a threat, you're far removed from any real sense of threat in your life

if your political ideology is something you don't feel you can bring yourself to say out loud in public, there are two possibilities here:

A: you're at risk on an existential level and need to be sure you can communicate without persecution

B: you're a fascist

oh wait, i nearly forgot

C: you're afraid of being persecuted but not in any tangible way that poses a lasting effect or consequence for you or your life. because this definitely isn't secretly option B

Seriously, crypto miners, GPU scalpers, and the techbros that defend it deserve to have their scalps removed.

If anyone has a spare GPU with 2 HDMI ports that is comparable to a Radeon R9 270x, that they're willing to sell for an unscalped price, hmu, and we can talk payment plans.

Welp, looks like my GPU's cooling is failing, and pushing 90 degrees just by watching YouTube videos. Gonna need a replacement and fast.

If the person who wronged you clearly shows remorse, and did what they can to undo and fix the damage, but you won't even recognize the attempt, what exactly is your endgame here?

It's fine if you say that you're not ready or willing to forgive, but to instill a sense of hopelessness in the person via stonewalling really just sets off red flags.

I keep telling you. anti-kink is inherently anti queer. Kinksters have been here alongside all other queers -since the goddamn start of this thing- and they want that front -divided- so they can safely exploit queer dollars.

So I owe you all an apology for not being around as much. After that meltdown a few days ago, I also noticed that Mastodon has been memory-leaking like crazy and bringing this already aging computer to a screeching halt.

I also have been spending time taking care of the headmates that were formerly integrated as Freyja, which is why you've been seeing those sketches.

Right now, I am limited to Tusky for interactions on here.

Also if there's any damage caused, do your best to fix them.

Remember that everyone makes mistakes, some larger than others. The important thing is to learn and grow from them, and don't fall into the trap of self-flagellation. Healing can only happen when you're kind to yourself and others.

Was over at a friend's house today, making patches on the moog apps. Was fun.

Got asked for a few of 'em after like five minutes' programming. Nice little egoboost.

Ah, Western genocide and oil-backed Canada forcefully inserting IUDs into 10-year-old indigenous children, doing what they *accuse* China of doing based on bogus studies from a Neo Nazi Adrian Zens for their daddy empire USA. Forced sterilizing Nazi-land Canada. #Landback
