All right, people. Let's start from the beginning, one last time.
A thread about a direction I've been meaning to shift for a few years now, but which - like a lot of things I've wanted to change in my life - had to wait until I was coming at it from the right angle and for the right reasons. 1/

Dammit. So much for a fresh start. Does anyone know if appealing these works? It looks like it's purely for trying to re-follow so many people.

I'm not seeing stuff about contacting payment processors on my timeline.
If we stop now they will take the lesson that they can do all the censorship they want and within a month people will just calm down and accept it.
We have to keep going.
Make them backtrack!

Noodling on politics. Consider yourselves warned.
I've been thinking about the sudden lurch towards throwing trans rights under the bus by dem presidential hopefuls and the total non-response by Congressional dems to defend us.
And I think it's this.

Democrats have paid a political price for taking on Silicon Valley — but not a very expensive one.

I honestly think the majority of cis people are upset by trans existence, especially nonbinary existence, because as children we were all told there were things we weren't allowed to do or be or feel or say because we were a girl, or because we were a boy.
I honestly think that's unhealed trauma. 🧵

The feeling i have is that for as important as female friendship is I, and I shall say this rather bluntly, care more about telling the little lesbian out there who doesnt know what she is that she isnt a monster. That there's a community waiting for her. That she'll have a rich life full of love.

decades of ableist cyberpunk warning us that prosthetics that assist mobility and perception would drive people to cyberpsychosis but instead it's just people with smartphones going insane because they were affirmed by robot texts a little too much into fully detaching from reality

We are pleased to announce our spinoff title, "Regret Dating Everything," where, instead of everything in your home turning into entertaining waifus, lesbians, twinks, and bears, they turn into seventy evil exes.
In the game #DateEverything you can turn your nice coffee maker into Kopi, a friendly barista who's passionate about coffee and loves to share fun facts and history about it. But that's a NICE coffee maker. So I thought to myself, what if the main character owned a Keurig instead?

At first I didn’t act, because I feared them.
Then I realized I must act, because I never should have been made to fear at all.

The defense of Rowling accidentally reveals that trans women are used as scapegoats for the violence of cis men. And like, I haven't read Whipping Girl, but I think a lot of us have had the realization that trannies are the sin-eaters of contemporary society.

The argument has always been "this is too valuable a technology to follow the law or any safeguards", and this is not anywhere near the first time it's been argued for emerging tech; it just happens to be the time that involves the largest intellectual property misappropriation in world history.

Working in the games industry right now is like working in the Banana Stand, knowing that the walls of the stand are lined with $250k, and having an executive show up and burn the Banana Stand down, with you inside it, because somebody said they *might* pay them to do it.
