Mackenzie Scott doesnt give to small organizations anymore. She runs her donations through Yield Giving and all these orgs have to have $350,000 per year over year revenue to qualify.

It’s not equitable so she’ll never give to us
Always worth just reaching out!

MTG isn't rebranding as a moderate, she's circling the wagons w Massie in the America First / Fuentes fash camp. There's some populist overlap w the left there, which fools some Liberals into misreading the coding. But she hasn't changed.

Her core is protectionist xenophobia & antisemitism.
She’s definitely on a rebrand tour. And she’s rebranding herself as more moderate which tells me she has grand ambitions

Namhla - A huge old dark grey birb she named Vashoth, which is a shout out to the fact that Namhla was originally a Vashoth/Qunari Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition.

MTG was doing a good job selling herself as reformed, even apologizing for taking part in toxic politics and then goes and says something like this that gives the whole game away.

lol people are mad about this but the internet alone has shown how much society hates women, ESPECIALLY women of color.

This isn’t Michelle Obama saying women aren’t qualified to be president. It’s Michelle Obama saying that people don’t WANT a woman president.

Decided to end out the year getting my library to get me the Powder Mage books by @brianmcclellan.bsky.social Brian McClellan. I read the first trilogy in 2014 and 2017, according to Goodreads, but I barely remember any of it; a re-read before diving into the second trilogy is needed.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

I appreciate the problems of moderating at scale, because it’s impossible if you’re not willing to spend millions of dollars on moderators and their therapists

HOWEVER

This smöl bean site is TO THIS DAY ignoring its own moderation policy when it comes to government accounts posting snuff videos.
I sometimes genuinely do wish people could have the experience of seeing what gets reported and taken down so they could viscerally understand what an unmoderated space on the internet looks like, because however bad you can imagine it is, the reality is far worse.
