Oh, and it gets better. The little POS was hosting r*pe and CSAM:
Scoop: DOGE's Edward "Big Balls" Coristine launched a privacy-focused image-sharing site in 2021 that allowed users to create custom URLs. The URLs that redirected to Coristine's site referenced the sale of child sexual abuse material, racial slurs, and rape

Photo & video sharing, I hope. The TikTok ban is driving the big exodus to RedNote. I know very few people who have been willing to leave IG even with Zuckacuck running Meta into the ground.

Maybe workshop the name a bit more? I can’t be the only that thinks of flashers.

Re: trans people/trans issues,

When Twitch removed communities, it stopped trans people easily finding each other. For years I met with Twitch staff, & was told many times that a trans tag was not possible bc "identity =/= content".

Trans streams are important content to trans people.

what’s stunning to me is the reaction from rightwingers experiencing actual moderation on bsky. they don’t seem to realize how aggressively extreme their own rhetoric has gotten. these are like, facebook grampas posting memes that a decade ago you’d only find in the nazi edgelord parts of 4chan.

I can't even fathom having as much money as Elon Musk and using your power and influence to literally make the world a shittier place.

If I get reincarnated as a rich asshole in the next life, I promise to reform and do only good as a full-time philanthropist.

Trans Day of Remembrance is today.

Today we recognize, honor, and remember those 427 trans people who were killed for being trans, and the ones they leave behind.

There is more time than life. Use your time to make this world more kind than we found it.

Support Trans People.

I back 4B as a means of extra safety for women under a rapist president, but also as protest. Use it to defy misogynists who claim “your body, my choice.” No. It’s HER choice. Always.

Should a man ignore that, a woman has a right to defend herself.

However she needs to.

I have been out as trans for over a decade and can say with 100% certainty that most people:

- never look close enough to tell
- wouldn't care even if they did

Most people are consumed with their own insecurities to focus on yours.
it's because the only people who care about trans issues at all are either trans themselves, related to a trans person, or absolutely fucking deranged freaks who would jump at the chance volunteer at a concentration camp if it meant they could harm a trans person

Trans creators,

Our world needs you now more than ever.

Continue to create. Continue to be publicly, visibly trans.

Be the person our community needs to see.
