Hi everyone. This post has been a long time coming.

On June 17th 2025, my friend Kai passed away. Those in the grishaverse fandom may know her as zemenipearls on tumblr. She was an incredibly kind person who always looked out for others. I can say I have the privilege of being her friend, even only an online one. Kai loved to write, read, play the viola, and talk to her friends. As a teacher, Kai deeply cared for her local community and. She had the most lovely smile and a kind heart, fighting for the world to be a better place for the marginalised.

It feels weird speaking about her in the past tense, even more than a year after her passing. Kai was such a joyful presence in the lives of everyone who knew her. She was sweet and funny. I still remember when she called us on discord and showed my friends and I an entire powerpoint on altered photos from instagram and how they affected body image. She spoke with such passion. I can only hope we carry with us her spirit and her love for humanity, and her striving for a better world.

This took a long time, but a few friends and I have been brainstorming a 'Remembering Kai' event. We're looking mainly at art of her OCs, her fanfictions (including the Zemeni Extended Universe (ZEU)) or her favorite canon characters, and posts about memories we have had with her.

In lieu of flowers, her last wishes were for everyone to donate to No Kid Hungry, and as such, we’ll be doing the same. Here is the link: https://www.nokidhungry.org/ .

Step 1: Add some silly rule to the task to make it more interesting and whimsical.

don't delete your twitter. lock your account, use a service to delete all your tweets, delete the app off of your phone, and keep your account/handle so you can't be impersonated.

get a bluesky with the same handle, even if you won't use it, also so you won't be impersonated.

get the sky follower bridge extension for chrome or firefox. you can find everyone you follow on twitter AND everyone you blocked so you don't have to start fresh: https://skyfollowerbridge.com/

learn how to use its moderation tools (labelers, block lists, NSFW settings) so you can immediately cut out the grifters, fascists, t*rfs, AI freaks, have the NSFW content you want to see if you so choose, and moderate for triggers. here's a helpful thread with a lot of tools.

the bluesky phone app is pretty good, but there is also tweetdeck for bluesky, called https://deck.blue/ on desktop, if you miss tweetdeck.

We collectively bullied Jack Dorsey off the site because he was upset that we wanted moderation tools to limit racism, transphobia, etc. Now the moderation tools are powerful and we use them extensively. There have been bumps along the way, but... lol. lmao, even

The site has long been run by strange transgender people over 30. The user base expands, but they are the heart of it. More websites, organizations, systems of government, and other things of that nature should be organized thusly.

The first and most famous meme on the site was a sexy picture of Alf whose hog everybody wanted to see. When people say Alf Hog, this is what they're referring to. Multiple sitting congressional representatives are explicitly aware of Alf Hog.
