@elfi The town of Lysandre's Rest holds a lantern festival each autumn, after the first frost, with six nights of lanterns being released amid other celebrations. They hold it in honor of how you sought out the Queen of Winter, intending to save your people from a harsh winter, and ended up marrying her after she found you full of life and fire such as she'd never known. Lysandre's Rest hasn't had a harsh winter in over three centuries, thanks to your quest. #WhisperingInfinities

From now until 8:00a Pacific, 2 July 2023, the #WhisperingInfinities return! This time, all who respond will learn of a festival or celebration held in their honor somewhere across the Infinity of Infinities!

fedi meta joke poll, part 1 of 2! 

@ljwrites @Satsuma willing to work with any true scotsmen

TFW you use a random online TTS service and it reads "$0" as "bin bash" 😬

Mastodon strikes me as more of an indie space than a place where people hire or get hired, but just for the record: Daedalic has now officially stopped internal game development. That means pretty much everyone who worked on Gollum was laid off.

In other words, if you need a designer, a programmer or an artist who already is skilled at working remotely, now is good opportunity to hire some really nice people.

EMERGENCY COMMS (Lingerie, 👀 contact in the examples) 

Hello hellooo!!

Rent is here again, and since I have a lot of free time now, I'm opening emergency sketches commissions!

If you're interested, just send me a DM!!
And you'll help me a lot if you share this. :blobcathearthug:

#commission #art #MastoArt

@deejvalen I wanna get in touch with Aura again, it's been so long since I left twitter and her GRS guide helped so much :blobcatsob:

@davidrevoy I've got an old surface pro I've been meaning to take the battery out of and use as a dedicated drawing tablet, so this might be a useful point of reference for userland after I deal with the finicky bits

White supremacy, Racism, Fascism 

Oh great, I found my first white LGBTQ+ person on this site who thinks BIPOC folks should set aside racism (from us white queers) in the fight against fascism. And when told she would have to stop being racist before we can have coalition with BIPOC people, she said 'I guess no coalition then'. 💀

REALLY saying the quiet part out loud there. As if fascism isn't upheld by white supremacy and racism.

@eclairwolf@tech.lgbt oh yeah, ebay started cracking down on antiquities like that because people kept turning each other into scavs

info on DARVO, byron 

DARVO is an acronym for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It's a strategy that abusers use to avoid being held accountable and deflect negative attention onto the person attempting to hold them accountable. Wikipedia breaks it down nicely:

1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place.
2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused (and/or the person's family and/or friends) for attempting to hold the abuser accountable for their actions, and finally,
3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender. It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming.

This has been going on here all week. mastodon.art attempts to hold universeodon accountable by advising their users that they will be defederating; announcements w/ notice are a standard practice here.

1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place
a.
"It's unfortunate mastodon.art decided to defederate on lies"

2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused
a.
"M.art has a beef witih Eugen, the creator of mastodon and that beef extends to everyone who doesn't join the m.art "clique""
b.
"Their style of moderation is control"
c.
"People on .art have 0 agency and it creates an environment of fear"
d.
Entire post

3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation
a.
"They turned my enthusiasm against me. They turned me talking about providing agency to users against me. Worst of all, they didn't reach out to me at all."
b.
"We have never received a moderation report from .art or any of their affiliated sites (rage. Love) that wasn't a report of them personally attacking something i said to troll me"
c.
"I've been minding my own business. It was .art that made a blog and broke the connections of consenting folks for no reasons other than personal attacks against me based on heresy"
d.
"i responded to a blog that inspired people to cause violence"

& there's so much more. All the while .art's admin has only posted to counter his claims, and
posted an AMA about their silenced/defederated domains for anyone concerned due to what Byron was saying.

DARVO is dangerous, so I hope this helps someone identify it in their own life. Stay safe out there.
