Oh yeah so did you lot hear about the Irish Victorian cosplay bdsm and video game developer house?
OK https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b-i1tFWmMYg was my entry point, months or years ago.
Like what in the fuck is https://tellurian-in-aristasia.tumblr.com/faq
My brain is breaking. What other unearthly delights await across the pre- and early netizens.

Omfggggg does https://youtube.com/@Dogen know about this? Dare we cross the streams?
I MUST know wtf he'd put in a video on Cure Dolly.

Do any autistic people or insomniacs or whoever have tips for surviving infections?
I don't mean IV drips altho yes, I probably should have had one a few days ago.
I mean combo of
"this was preventable yoU FUCKING BASTARDS" and
"I fucking hate this. I cannot stand these symptoms. Allistic people are cut off from their bodies, is2g. These sensations are intolerable.
If body wants me to rest then let me sleep. If body wants me up then let me think. Otherwise kill me or let the pathogen do it."
"Symptom management" is lifesaving for disabled people. You do not understand.
New slogan I need on every billboard, podcast ad, cereal box, news ticker, etc:
> "Symptom management" is lifesaving for disabled people. You do not understand.

I'm not angry when vulnerable clarity of emotion, YOU are!
@MxVerda Wait, this is more about St Brides? Do they have anything new? I've been lowkey fascinated by them since I read Aaron Reed's piece for 50 Years of Text Games at https://if50.substack.com/p/1992-silverwolf
I'm going to have to pull the video transcript text to see what they've got for the neo-nazi stuff there beyond what Reed mentioned.
(I'm not here to defend them, particularly if they're of THAT kind of radfem tendency, but having been on various UK mailing lists during the late 90s, their stated explanation for the materials is entirely credible, because there was surprisingly little fucking division between left, right and ambivalent counter-culture and subcultural stuff in the UK at the turn of the century.)
@HauntedOwlbear would you perhaps be interested in a podcast on it? A friend did a deep dive and is considering making one on it.
Uhjhh lemme ask if there are more links
@MxVerda Ooh, yeah, I would, actually. Please pass on my encouragement to your friend.
And I extracted the bit of the transcript that answered my question! And yeah, that's some uncomfortable associations with the BNP there.
(I love that people narrate their essays, but some days I cannot manage audio, let alone the amount of stimulation that goes with video.)
I bet you were wondering “When’s he gonna talk about the Nazi part?” Apparently, Miss Martindale - who probably was the same person all along, unlike most of the other Silver Sisters - she had been corresponding for two years with John Tyndall, the leader of the white-supremacist, neo-fascist British National Party. In the letters, Tyndall expressed admiration for the way the Sisterhood wanted to isolate itself from the modern, multicultural world. He said that he was, quote, "spiritually with one foot in the 19th century and the other in, perhaps, the 17th and 18th".
The Silver Sisterhood was also involved in rather less explosive, but also traditionalist, political movements: Miss Martindale was one of the public faces of the cleverly named “Don’t Give an Inch” campaign in the 1990s, which sought to reverse Britain’s shift to the metric system. Some former St. Bride’s residents have spoken up about the Nazi ties, saying that if Miss Martindale was involved in something like this, they didn’t know about it and it certainly wouldn’t have been something the rest of them would have supported, but others disagree - one person who claims to have known the Sisterhood while they were in Oxford in the 90s says that everyone in the area knew they had fascist sympathies. It’s hard to imagine a bunch of lesbian feminist separatists, which is really what they were, being all chummy with neo-Nazis, but on the other hand, they did have a rose-tinted nostalgia for the 19th century. Either way, it shows that they sunk deeper into their paracosm than they should have.
