@kym @frogglin @glittercleric and then there was the cis man who mistook a tall cis woman for a trans woman and followed her into the women's bathroom to harass her. Saying he was protecting women. While actually being the cis man in the women's bathroom making a cis woman unsafe.
Their every accusation is a confession. And no cis man who wants to hurt a woman in the women's bathroom will pretend he's trans. He'll just go in there

Cat pics with in-detail descriptive alt text always make me happy. I like knowing exactly what the person taking the picture was seeing in the scene, and I like being able to share this cutie with my vision impaired friends

@memes repost for alt text

@Sunny @hannu_ikonen the average USian would walk away from that order. The average ICE agent? I'm not so sure.

I keep forgetting that most white trans people are white before trans 😭 I guess this needs saying, but if you didn't care about fascism until it affected white people, you're not going to like some of my posts/boosts

Like believe me I am aware how scared other trans people are right now regardless of race, I'm fucking terrified, but those of us who are white or whiteish need to remember that fascism has been here to some degree for a long ass time and other people's rights have been routinely stripped away from them under any politician we've had. So like, we can fear for our lives without thinking we're the only or first ones affected. TWOC were already getting killed long before we were in any danger

Hey so uh several of my mutuals keep boosting shit that compares *fascists* to *me* as a way of insulting *the fascists*. And I don't wanna just break off a bunch of mutual connections with no warning, but I also don't have the energy to DM them all and it seems desperately posting and boosting about not using ableism against fascists is not enough. Does anyone have advice? I can't handle seeing everyone who usually has good takes now using me as the worst thing they can compare a fascist to

Okay I think I'm just gonna pin this post so anyone who wonders why we're not moots anymore can see it:
If I unfollowed you, it was probably because you called prominent fascists mentally ill (or narcissists, psychopaths, insane, etc). As someone they all want dead, and as someone who is actually in the group you're assigning them to, this hurts. A lot. It feels like you're saying the only thing worse than a fascist is a disabled person. We're all sick of it, especially from so-called leftists.

LB it's especially important that we don't use that economic reasoning anymore because the current plan of the administration seems to be slavery. So why would they be convinced by "but the economy needs immigrants to do labor!" when they could just force immigrants to do that labor for free? People who want slave labor will not be convinced of the value of fairly paid labor. And we cannot fucking sit back and accept more slavery (or the amount of slavery currently happening)

@intransitivelie basically, if anyone says they want a revolution but they aren't also doing everything they can to prop up mutual aid and community resilience, they probably just want to commit some violence without feeling bad about it 🤷 but hey, we'll need our Mario Brothers too. We all have parts we can play in a better future. But violence alone won't actually ease the suffering of the marginalized or of the working class

@intransitivelie I think I genuinely do want a revolution but not in the way that people probably assume if I just say "I want a revolution."
I want to put something better up *before* tearing these shitty systems down. That's a lot of work, WAY more work than killing billionaires etc, and a lot of people don't seem too enthused. But if all we do is the violent part without helping wean people's dependence on capitalism, all that makes is even more suffering :/

@lauren @mastodonmigration @heliomass if there's a notice of "this was a quote post but the original author pulled out" it's not *mis*information, just a *lack* of information. No one is entitled to the information in my posts. So if someone does a quote post and the original quoted post isn't in it, you can just scroll and accept that you don't have all the information! Everyone knowing the context of every post is NOT more important than safety.

@lauren @mastodonmigration @heliomass if someone is harassing me, I frankly don't care what information you can see. It will not kill you not to see my post. What do you do when people block you, cry to their admins that you don't have all the information so you need them to undo it?

There is no way that seeing a quote post missing a quote is all that dangerous. If you don't have all the info, just scroll

@lauren as long as there's an indication that it was once a quote post, I cannot overstate how easy it is to go "damn, no context, guess I don't get to know"

@lauren if people are inclined to see a post and run with it without context (and you're right, they are), then we absolutely should not be forcing people to keep our posts in someone else's thread without context. If them not seeing my post will lead to them jumping to conclusions, them seeing my out-of-context post will lead to a dogpile of harassment. I will die on the hill that we should try to avoid dogpiles and harassment. Why are you so insistent that we shouldn't?

@intransitivelie *refuses to read or acknowledge any news about human rights violations involving Democrats* wow the news cycle sure is boring!

As someone who actually has NPD, I'd like to beg people to STOP armchair diagnosing every fucking Nazi with it. Please. You're not hurting them, you're only hurting us. Actually, you're only hurting those of us who are self aware and care enough to try to be a better person. Armchair diagnosing or comparing bad people with disabilities bounces off of them and just hurts disabled people. Please stop. Same goes for body shaming Nazis. We can be better than them.

🤦 Trump did not admit to rigging any elections y'all, he said he got to be president now because "they" (Dems) "rigged" the 2020 election, that thing he's been saying over and over and over again for over 4 years
Clipping fascists out of context to try to make them somehow look even worse is not going to help in the fight against him, and aren't the things he's actually done/said fucking Bad Enough??? Let's stick with the truth instead of doing the exact same shit ppl do to make us look bad

If I had an old account on a server that's been deleted for like 2 years now, how likely is it that those posts are still floating around somewhere in another server's cache? If I delete posts from this account, how long are they likely to stay in other servers' caches? I frankly have no idea how any of this works I'm just spitting out buzz words from other posts I've seen
