The slow destruction of Twitter means I don’t have to limit myself to 280 characters anymore.

So this is a LONG-ASS post about having been online for decades & lost so many spaces to malfeasance and malice & what to do now, how angry I am & how hard this will never stop being.

Because I need to SCREAM ABOUT THIS TRASH.

Y'all are chasing working artists away from this place by harping on how "sad" and "pathetic" it is for them to hope for a large follower count here.

It's not about attention. It's about their bottom line. More followers means more commissions, more customers in their online shops, more direct exposure to people with hiring power. It's honestly really cruel to keep acting like they want adulation when really they just want to pay rent.

They have ample reason to mourn what they built.

Yes Christmas Day is a day to spew propaganda bashing poor people. I guess. If you are an ass.

Whew, y’all. I’m sorry for your black coal-hearts, truly. Merry Christmas, indeed.

PS: Baby Jesus weeps and adult Jesus is ready to flip tables, AT YOU.

If you need transcription services — for PhD interviews, workshop recordings, close-captioning conference videos etc — get in contact with Academic Audio Transcription who I have occasionally done work for. All employees are disabled / chronically ill people working remotely and are paid fairly, so you'll be helping people who often struggle to find work or are discriminated against when they do.

* Trans men are men.
* Trans women are women.
* Non-binary people (enbies) are powerful beings, guarding this plane of existence from demonic forces beyond our comprehension, all in secret, without ever receiving praise.

Thank you, enbies
