a reminder: no matter how angry you are at the system, no matter how aggrieved you are with nation-states, no matter how much you and the recipient would agree…
it is NEVER a good idea to use spicy payment notes like "death to America", "Luigi every CEO", and so on, when donating to someone.
you could get them locked out of their account for any number of dubious reasons, and without recompense. PayPal, for example, is famous for closing accounts on the flimsiest of suspicion, and stealing the balance within.
just don't do it. either pretend it's to make up for a personal debt (e.g. by using a food emoji), or generically wish them well, or make up some nonsense words and reuse them for everyone.
edit: this includes promotion of anything unjustly illegal, e.g. "sex work is work". payment notes are NOT the place for advocacy. make no mistake, they are scanned for keywords.
time for a new #introduction post I guess so here goes
no boosts on this intro, please
-1. Zionists eat shit. free Palestine
0. racists eat shit. this includes nonwhite beneficiaries of white supremacy
1. not looking to acquire any (more) one-way follows, so if you aren't the kind of person I want to follow back then I probably won't accept yours. if you're following me back I'll almost certainly accept.
2. i work with computer. sometimes I talk about computer. I am not *here to* talk about computer. if you mostly talk about computer then I won't want to follow back. see rule 1
3. you don't have to be queer but that is going to heavily weight my decision
4. you don't have to be an anarchist or communist but at this point I'm suspicious of anyone who's lived through the same period of time I have and has not at minimum developed some understanding of class solidarity
5. I don't care if TheBadSpace hurt your feelings. if you don't respect people taking responsibility for their own protection, bye
LB: fuck yes, call me Mg. Tully let's gooooo

* 90% of people want to continue.
For businesses (n=91):
* YoY revenue up by 35% during trial period.
* Employee attrition down by 57%.

We've had social.xenofem.me suspended for the 4chan-derrived abusive behavior of the users there.
We've learned of recent anti-transmasculine posting there and recommend suspending the instance.
The range thinks trans liberation is for everyone.
I love when conservative wackadoos write about how atonal music is the death knell of music and art and Bach would be rolling over in his grave and stuff
Because based on what I know about Bach, he would have been all over that shit once he learned the theory
This man was so fucking autistic, if you gave him the complex theoretical constraints of twelve-tone serialism he would immediately get completely nerdsniped by it and start writing passionately about how it was actually the perfect system to reveal the glory of God's beauty or some shit
“Two serves of chips and a potato scallop¹, please”. When at the seaside, there are rules to be followed.
“Coming right up! Are you eating at the shore? Would you like to rent a seagull defense droid?”
“Oh, heavens, no, feeding the gulls is why I get two serves!”
“Capital! People like you, you’re good for my droid rental income”

And if that sounds obvious or mundane, remember this principle:
If it's happening to one person, it's happening to one too many. One person unable to eat exists in a universe where there's only hunger and nothing else.
I speak from experience here.
That is the bottom line. Everything above depends on it.
Some ppl will be a bit lost on the idea of a good deed and be all "What do I *do*?"
There's simple, pragmatic shit.
Like, this, for example.
Have some change on ya.
Why?
Ppl beggin on the street.
When I was homeless, it was before the world went totally plastic pay.
So maybe you find some cash on the ground. Or somebody drops you a coin.
Now? It must be fukin hell.
So if more ppl carry change, more ppl can get it.
See how easy that was?
Won't save the world, but might help somebody.

My fam and I are trying to flee the country!
We are working and also selling as much of our stuff as we can, but we need help from folks like you too!
Funds go to buying travel-related things (like compression socks, airline cat carriers, passports, plane tickets, visa fees, short term lodging, and so on) or to offset monthly costs so more funds can go to the immigration specific costs.
Everything helps but here's my current focus:
Just generally saving for vet visits, airline tickets, and DAFT/immigration fees! Chewy gift cards still helpful as I got a lot of dog training to do
in no particular order
