It's #FoxgirlFriday! This beautiful illustration of Yomiko by 🎨yen-rin is one of my favorites. Obviously the pattern on her kimono is gorgeous, but I also really like the boots. I also have a book with this illustration in it. ​:neofox_floof__w_:

Dear abled people on fedi: what's it like having knees that don't like to go sideways or swell like grapefruits in bad cold weather

what, a fae swinging a bat at a gilded elvish hornets nest, kink? but not for me 

Elves are often depicted watered down fae with less going on, and their primary traits being looking pretty and living long. With not much else going on compared to the numberous kinds of fae.
So elves are kinda like fae you look pretty but don't have much going on I propose that elves are like bimboified fae

Did someone in your life vote for Trump?

Go on strike. Don't do shit for them. Don't need to be loud about it if you don't want, just don't do a goddamn thing for them. They clearly don't want to do anything for anyone but themselves, so, they just told you how they want to be treated.

Girls, if a boy says to you, "Your body, my choice." They've implicitly given you permission to kick them in the balls.

Or as my husband said, "My knee, your nuts."

In short, you are allowed to defend yourself from a rape threat, which is what that first statement is.

Website!

There's no need to be slow.

I said

There's some ads that can go.

You can

They won't need to download.

You can tell the ads to get fucked.

Doot doot doot doot doot

It's fun to block all the ads on the site!

Hello All!
As of this month, we are officially short of the amount of money we need in order to cover hosting costs and pay our mods. Our total monthly expenses are about $120 ($50 for each of our two mods and $20 for managed hosting services). Before Open Collective Foundation (our previous fiscal host) went under earlier this year, we had these expenses completely covered. Since we had to transition to self-hosting, we have never hit that mark again.

Over the previous months as we have been using Ko-Fi, I have been working behind the scenes to get us to be able to use Open Collective again because of how many different types of donations they accept (we have only been using PayPal with Ko-Fi which is...not ideal).

And as of today, I am happy to announce that we can once again accept payments through Open Collective at opencollective.com/blackqueerl

For the first time, you will be able to make donations through Stripe, PayPal, or direct bank transfer. Our hope is that we can once again have our costs covered fully by donations.

I can't tell you how many times in the past year and change that I have been running this server that I have thought about giving up and moving off of the fediverse. Our mod team constantly has to deal with white supremacist harassment, transmisia, transmisogynoir, ableism, etc from other users and instances. We are making it work, but I'd be lying if I said it was not taking a toll. And with fascism on the rise globally, things are only going to get worse in that department.

So if you don't agree with that and want to help support us in maintaining a space on this network, any amount helps. Seriously.

I was a firstname lastname twitter account. I had a blue check. I followed coworkers and other professional colleagues. I posted about goings on in my industry, news and my own meager professional accomplishments. Stuff I thought might help my career.

It was exhausting. Hours upon hours of unpaid work for almost no payoff.

That was the main reason I came to fedi. That person I was pretending to be on Twitter was draining all life from me. I'm never going back to that, at least not willingly.

i know lots of people have been gossiping and theorising: is codl a bug? yes
