I don't necessarily think "the young people will save us" because white supremacy is intergenerational and a lot of what's happening today are bigots ensuring their bigotry gets passed on successfully.

But age is just a number and I don't inherently respect anyone because of theirs.

All most people seem interested in is buying their way into these power structures so the enshittification affects them as little as possible instead of trying to fucking fix it.

Been looking at the feedback on mask policies from two separate conferences. People seem to fall into three groups:

1) I'll go with the policy, whatever it is

2) The risk of attending an event without masks is too high, so I will not attend without a strong mask policy

3) You cannot force me to wear a mask, so I will not attend if you require them.

You can always get group 1 at your con. Choose between groups 2 and 3.

My random sampling says that group 2 is nicer than group 3. Group 2 is both easier to hang around with, and safer.

Easy choice.

PS; in case you haven't noticed, we've definitely hit the point where the fascists have gotten so many marginalized people fired or arrested for speaking a desire to defend themselves and not get pogromed, that it's not even news anymore.

That should concern you.

Missouri now says autistic people can’t receive gender affirming care because autistics are “too vulnerable” to know what our gender is.

I guess you have to stop calling me a woman because I don’t have the captaincy to determine I’m cis 🤷‍♀️

@mattbc (on twitter):
"Matthew J. Kacsmaryk lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee covering up his hateful anti-trans views, because of fucking course he did."

He lied to become a judge, and now it's in a position to endanger millions. #Kacsmaryk should be impeached, and the many people who are complicit in distorting the process should see some consequences.

TL;DR: Need money to cover my father's shitty demands + survive. Donation links at the end of the post or on my bio.

My father called me the first monday of March. He said that he will need all the money I "own" (read the post linked at the end for the explanation) him by the end of the month. The month has come and gone while I freaked out over it while trying to scrounge the money and he just went quiet for the whole month. I talked to him again at the start of the month and he said he'll definitely need it anytime soon. Haha :').

What I "own" him is a little short of 4k and then there are my monthly expenses on top of it.

When I'm able to work I make ~10USD/day which would be more than enough to cover my bills but it is nowhere near enough to cover his demands and he doesn't care. I'm completely unable to hold a traditional job (without working myself to literal exhaustion as it happened already) so I really have no other options than work from home with what I can when I can.

If you can at least give me a quick boost I'll be really thankful. Every boost help me reach more people. Any and every donation helps a lot. I'm sorry I'm not able to personally reply to donations but I tear up every time I check how many boosts I get and when donations come through.

last notes

• a post on why I've been financially fucked for so long. TL;DR: my father is an ass and I need to "pay him back".
• a spreadsheet If you're interested in seeing a detailed breakdown of what I need the money for. This is just a static copy of my dynamic spreadsheet.
• if you have any questions about anything or any trouble with donations going through, please, don't exitate in contacting. I might take a little while answer but I'll answer it!

donation links:

• ko-fi - accepts paypal and stripe.
• stripe (USD) - (for those that prefer not using paypal)
• stripe (BRL)
• liberapay - liberapay says that stripe does not work on my country even tho I'm using it. I'll try fixing it later
