look. i’m conflict-averse, i’m trying not to be so Extremely Online, and like it says in my profile, i’m “perpetually out of brain-spoons.” i definitely don’t have the time or energy to facilitate a ~Debate~ & i’m just trying to maintain a non-awful social space here.

as a practical matter, if it looks like a bunch of bullshit is headed toward my users, then i’m gonna do my best to cut it off at the source rather than make them individually do the work of blocking/reporting over & over again, and so i end up with a pretty heavy hand on the suspend button, probably heavier than it even needs to be.

so if a maximally open federation policy is important to you, then i can’t give you what you need at vulpine.club (consider migrating to mastodon.social or pleroma.site). and if you’re an instance admin with more laissez-faire ToS than ours, feel free to reject reports from here, i’ll already have taken care of them on our end anyway.

but jesus haploid transmasculine christ, you don’t need to be a douchebag about it.

mulling whether to start reclaiming “a they” as self-identification

neurotoxin: inject directly into the forehead

I’ve written and deleted 3-4 different toots about various disappointing/depressing patterns of behavior in my demographic (Very Online white 30something transfeminine people) in the last couple days, and what they mostly boil down to is:

come on, i thought that was the whole point of doing this trans thing was to *be better.*

yesssssss, i managed to add a “transistor” reactji to work Slack before anyone else did, and now it maps to ​

actually the “Fisherman’s Wife” is the giant squid, not the human dreaming of her

bored: identifying-as
adored: identifying-with

i suppose i’m “woman-identified” — but in the second-wave lesbian-feminist sense, not the “trans 101 as taught in 2019” sense

named my work computer “anaander” and realized a month and a half later that i‘d need to dual-boot her
