I talk about personal things that can get tangentially NSFW. While I wouldn't call this an after-dark account, it's kind of a mishmash personal account and prefer to mingle with people I know or trust.

Normalize Having A Tail IRL
I can never goddamn remember "ngl" is "Not gonna lie", it feels like I somehow missed whenever people started using that acronym.
Trying out VR Chat streamed to my phone, because a phone-based VR headset is 50NZD as opposed to 1000.
This was just testing, mind you. I don't have a headset at all yet.
"Kiwi" should only refer to kiwi birds. The berry is "kiwifruit".
Anything else is a bunch of children standing on each others' shoulders in an ugly kiwi costume, screeching about their voice being heard while reframing everyone else's.
Don't defile my goddamn national bird.
Squeaaaak.

PSA about Russian state propaganda outlets (boost with content warnings for politics, mention of queerphobia)
From @June in two parts
https://kitty.town/@June/101631515854082851

For folks who don't know: RT and In The Now are actual propaganda designed to be consumable and attractive to progressive Western audiences. They are a facet of the overall propaganda structure that includes Russia Today's internal (within Russia, in Russian) propaganda. Russia Today is much more directly anti-queer, anti-Semitic, etc, and RT filters this into a package DESIGNED to be palatable to English-speaking westerners, with the goal of spreading "just asking questions" style disinfo.

Do not share RT and In The Now (which is of course designed explicitly to look like NowThis) content, even if it seems innocuous. If it's something legit sounding, find another several sources for it. Supporting these platforms in any way is helping people do serious harm to queer people and other minorities.
Me: We shouldn'tve made computers so accessible to the computer illiterate, because it's resulted in making it harder to control administration things, making the internet simplified in wikis and Wordpress everywhere, and all-in-one hardware you can't modify.
Also me: oh god linux is scary
Also I just noticed Music was at the bottom of my quick access, which probably means the same update that regenerated those folders messed up quick access too.
see this is why I feel like I don't have control over my machine wrt W10
Windows 10, stop regenerating default folders that I'm never going to uuuuuse.

It's bad enough that Meme Accounts steal crap in the first place but I didn't think about the fact they make *money* off of stolen content, because something viral enough is considered public domain.
god. what a mess this internet is.

hot take, fedi
I mean I get an angry mob wanting to run Nazis off but I've seen angry mobs run off innocent people cause some influencers got Angry®
I strongly associate people with their avatars. So people without any sort of persona that just use the latest Cool Thing They Like as avatars, I mean that's fine and all, but I end up mixing up people if they're all using the same character or something.
If you ever feel afraid or uncertain, maybe what you need is in the next treasure chest.
I've been greatly neglecting the update of my website, so I've remedied that with four new pictures. Here's one of them.
