Oh, this is remarkably of its era. I was just viscerally launched back to the specific amalgamation of meme printouts my roommate and I decorated our bulletin boards with senior year of college.

Can we maybe stop making shows for people who don't watch shows and writing books for people who don't read books and making video games for people who don't play video games and making sports for people who don't like sports and making music for
the misbehavior of random men will never cease to amaze me. i was just riding my bike to the library. it's a little purple e-bike. when some guy ripped out in front of me from a cross street, almost making me crash. on his BIGGER tougher e-bike. then he slowed down so i had to almost stop pedaling completely, and he started to serpentine widely so i couldn't pass him and every time i got close he cut me off and slowed down.
this was outrageously absurd because we were on bikes, so we were about 1 metre apart from each other and i could have just spoken - not even shouted - and told him to fuck off or cut it out. but i was also acutely aware that the same proximity would also make it very easy for any escalation to turn ugly, so i just kept slowing down to try to let him get ahead of me, until he finally got bored and cut down another street.
i was pure fuming like. how are you going to harass me on a BIKE. you're on a fucking E-BIKE dude. the other awful men whose esteem i'm sure you hold yourself to think you look stupid. they're on podcasts saying biking lowers your testosterone. why are you beefing with ME
the other week i was outside reading while my bike parked nearby when a group of old guys passed it and started talking about it. they all started complimenting the model of the bike but then one of them was like "you wouldn't catch me dead riding one that color though" and the other guys were like "hahaha can you imagine??"
don't get me wrong i could not care less but im so baffled at the ability to be infected with the brand of toxic masculinity that makes you incapable of associating yourself with purple, but also feel macho on your electric bicycle. like how do you not realize other men who think the same as you think that you look stupid on your steel-gray e-bikes. they're calling you names from their diesel trucks. you should be on my side.
Love the asexual tranny too, btw
not every social interaction has to be rooted in sexuality and the second a lot of girls start denying their body to others they lose a lot of opportunities for connection and I think a lot of us pretend it just doesn't happen like that
anyway now that guy is gone can we all just agree that "you're too priveleged to have ever been abused" is an insane thing to say. like hey what theory can i study to learn how to victim blame Wokely.
yes being marginalised in any way does increase your vulnerability to risk of being harmed without meaningful consequences for the perpetrator and that's grossly unfair + abuse is primarily about power and control but if you are a human being with a body there is no sufficient social condition you can achieve that makes you immune to being taken advantage of
idk i just think implying that if you're marginalised you should expect to be abused and that nobody else could possibly understand your struggle or support you in fighting back is maybe not as progressive as some of you seem to think it is

i know things are hella grim in the nsfw/kink art circles especially in the last year --
but I'm hearing there's a NSFW-friendly ko-fi alternative built on atproto that's actively in the works, and being vetted by lawyers right now. as torrent-princess (OP) says, you should be able to swap out payment processors while keeping your account intact. this matters since even if stripe removes support, you'll still have a shop and all of your links intact. (ATproto is an infrastructure that bsky is built on, but is far bigger than bsky with far more opportunities.)
additionally, the Free Speech Coalition is working on a credit union specifically for adult work (including kink art) - here's the link so you can add your interest & support. Since this will be built by sex workers, there'll be far less risk of being debanked for spurious and puritanical reasons.
on a domain TLD level, there's an initiative here for a .furry domain built from the ground up by seasoned furries; it's unclear whether they'll support NSFW, but it's yet another promising turn of events for a group that's been similarly affected by censorship.
there are friends and allies out there helping to build a working parallel infrastructure. keep being vocal, keep supporting these initiatives when it's possible, and keep supporting your nsfw/kink artists. β₯
huge fan of when characters love each other and are closely bonded in an explicitly nonromantic way. however βοΈ i am very much not a huge fan of what happens when characters like this are introduced to fandom
environmental storytelling
Struggling through half a dozen abortive posts to explain this so just the thesis: I think that an inability to imagine yourself adapting to and maybe even finding satisfaction in a wide array of living situations weakens your ability to make decisions about your life. I know so many people who have let potentially good things pass by even when they have a generous safety net because they are paralyzed by a fear of doing something that feels alien to them.
Dogs serve as a kind of virtue eater for Americans to pour all of their kindness into without the risk of improving society or being nice to someone with any agency

Don't forget Step 4: Constrict access to knowledge. Use copyright claims to kill sharing of data. Put everything behing a paywall or a deluge of targeted ads. Bloat every other search/find tool with slop. And track everything.
i think my family didn't understand that i do grasp the full gravity of transition. that i don't know that it's fucking hard in the real world to be trans and a woman full-time. that i don't know that being trans may lock me out of a ham radio club, a job, the shooting range. that i haven't been catcalled walking back from the bar, or listened to frat boys shoving each other around and calling each other faggots, or been called one myself. i know what i'm getting into as best as i can. i think they understand that now.
"you wouldn't go to a ham radio convention with a padded bra and painted nails and makeup" yeah dude i have. "you wouldn't be able to go to the shooting range as a woman" actually no i have. "you haven't been catcalled on your way back from the bar" yes i have and damn it was nerve-wracking. i guess they thought it was something I kept entirely to myself
"you need to live as it fully in all parts of your life" okay well for starters use the right damn pronouns at home.
"we need an adjustment period" alright well you've got 18 days until I start HRT so you better start adjusting soon
Supermassive Black Hole lends itself to soundtracking one thing and one thing alone and that is a strip club. Supermassive Black Hole is the most perfect strip club rock song I've ever heard. I've heard rock songs *about* strip clubs that feel less suited to a strip club than Supermassive Black Hole. I have heard songs where sex is explicitly described in the lyrics that feel less sexy than Supermassive Black Hole. Supermassive Black Hole is a song so disgustingly, flagrantly, enticingly slutty that I sometimes feel legitimately shocked that it was made by a band that most people make fun of for sounding like if Radiohead sold out after their first album. It is a crowning achievement in stripper music that may never be topped in our lifetime. It is best known for soundtracking the scene in the first Twilight movie where they play baseball.
Not dunking on that person, it is certainly something you can do, it will indeed be better than leaving your emails exclusively online if you are using webmail (not the only kind of system !) and you will avoid the difficulties of digital preservation.
However ! I think it is useful to familiarize oneself with the basics of digital preservation, and I also believe that in an archival process it is usually better to keep digital documents in a digital format...
So what I would recommend instead, if you have an external hard drive or similar and feel ready to do a little bit of digital preservation, would be exporting your important emails* in a format with good interoperability (I would recommend EML, which should be an option in most webmail and clients), storing at least two copies of them (for example on your computer and on your external hard drive ; if you want to be really secure, a third support and copy would be great), checking the state of your copies sometimes (you can do that fast without even opening your files if you get their checksums) and copying them on a new support before the current one reaches its end...
I know this sounds more complicated than just printing your emails out (and it does require material resources not everyone will have), but preserving a bunch of printer paper is not necessarily easy either (and certainly less convenient for access ; you'll be able to search your email exports for what you want)...
(If anyone is interested and needs more explanations or help with any part of this process, I would be happy to try providing that !)
* "But ardeacinerea, what about exporting my entire mailbox, which is also an option in most webmail and clients ?" Mailbox preservation has been my burden for years but I still don't know if any of the solutions we have for that are really good...
If you see me like your vent post that is me giving u a lil hug, I do not enjoy your suffering

dude i don't normally like to dig at peoples fun i generally think people having fun is good but it is slightly disheartening when there's a really really good story about a strong platonic relationship and then the only thing the fans can do is ship the characters or worse make a crack ship with an unrelated character from another media because it's like they can't STAND a lack of romance in media like they absolutely must try to insert romance where it is absolutely not needed or relevant and honestly sours the story/media a lot more for me or they'll Die because they can't just be happy with a really good platonic relationship. it makes me very sad as a demiromantic girlie.
cybertrucks are so amazing to me. sure it may be unsafe to drive and unimaginably expensive and ugly as shit but at least everyone who sees you driving it thinks youre a nazi
