hey there! it's me, vanta, fedi's favorite punk instance admin
i need $100 to order groceries and $60 for medical weed and $35 my phone bill and $20 for various things like bus fare and food while out ($215 total)
i'm currently unemployed and job searching and couch surfing and working on running my very own online clothing store at https://vanta.cool to help with finances. also trying to do freelance video editing and fansly on the side. i'm an impoverished neurodivergent trans woman just trying to survive and find stability. here's my work portfolio https://vanta.work
it's my right to choose not racists or nationalists not this fascist president's it's their fight to lose i'm a masochistic activist a modern abolitionist who wants to make the whole world humanist
it's my life to choose not zealots or supremacists not the alt-right separatists it's their fight to lose i'm a modern nihilist a radi-cool idealist
it's my right to choose not the religious lunatics or fundamental extremists it's their fight to lose i'm a modern anarchist a punk rock existentialist who wants to make the whole world coexist
in a den of viper venom we're the cobra kings slyer than all the foxes with our devious games you kleptocrats, you thought you knew from ill-gotten gains but we are the emperors of everything
and i know, and i know, that the only way home is to go down below where the bastards patrol we’re taking on the underworld and making it ours they say you gotta join ‘em; fuck em, we’ll be the dons
if you can’t beat them, cheat ‘em out of their crowns think you’re evil? wish you could be this malevolent we make sinister into cabaret, malefic broadway oh, look at him and i, we are mag-fucking-nificient and we are the emcees of the end of the world drop the curtain and the guillotine
i'm not trying to take sides in the screencapped conflict btw. and for the people asking why i haven't made a post about david harassing Are0h... i'm not too familiar with that whole meta situation tbh. i just saw a lot of meta about misgendering people you don't like. and then i saw the source of it. and i felt i needed to take action because intentional misgendering is NEVER okay and defending it after the fact even moreso
like just an honest apology. "i'm sorry. i fucked up. i will do better"
but he has yet to actually say that. instead he just keeps talking in circles and trying to justify it. but this sort of behavior can never be justified if you care about trans people. period
i'm not saying he needs to apologize to directly to david
just generally. to queer people on here. for like, being a big person in this community who did harm. who said some fucked up shit. willfully misgendering somebody normalizes the harassment queer people face every day. he has a big audience. people care about his opinions and listen what he has to say. that's why it's important
"a bit of digging revealed she is cool with a lot of racist tech lgbt folks, which explains her obvious bias"
"Look at who Vanta and her supporters follow. Instances that are known to target Black spaces"
i have over four thousand followers you cannot seriously expect me to agree with everything every single one of them says. or even know about a fraction of it. you cannot expect me to keep up with the breadth of fedi meta minutiae like that's my obligation or whatever. i have a life outside of the internet
please don't defederate us over this btw lol. i rely on mutual aid from the fediverse to survive. by encouraging people to defederate us en masse you'd be actively attempting to isolate me from my support network. this could have DEADLY consequences if i'm no longer able to recieve the help i need. that's basically attempted murder with extra steps. and this isn't even that goddamn important
cis people don't get misgendered when they do horrible shit so why is it suddenly okay with queer trans nonbinary people?
and fwiw YES i HAVE gone out of my way to look up the pronouns of people who've harassed me. people we've had to defederate. because it's basic fucking decency towards all queer people
