Wait, PTR records are not singletons?
You can have multiple of them?
When you go ping something it occasionally switches in between for the display?
OMFG that's cursed.

Pro-Blackness scares some because there is an assumption that it operates like white supremacy: violently.

update, re: moderation, kind of meta but more general
In an oddly timely twist, you can see almost this exact thing happening in several of the cases in hbomberguy's latest video about plagiarism.
People getting caught on plagiarism and patterns of behaviour, and them then reframing things as if it was just one little irrelevant thing that people got mad at, completely removing all context from the accusation to mislead people into believing they are innocent.

one of my biggest frustrations as an activist
The phenomenon where every person you talk to individually agrees that it would be great if the world looked like X, but doesn't believe that enough other people want the same thing.
Except that "X" is the same for everyone you talk to, and the actual point where the conflict lies between them, is only in the different premature "compromises" they've come up with under the assumption that X would not be achievable.

Disability visibility
But it's not me. It's the system. And for a long time I thought the system was just really ignorant and didn't know how to see me. The system would help me if I'd only get my message accross. I'm rethinking that. Because I don't know any disabled people who speak about the system with trust. We speak about the system with hurt. With fear. With anger.
We know we need to fight to get what we need, or give up asking. The more ill or disabled or vulnerable we are, the harder that fight is. The system makes it harder, but also our bodies have no resources left to fight without consequence.
And that's on purpose. The system is created by a society who'd rather look away than help us. They want us poor. They want us hurting. They are so stuck in a capatalist mindset that anyone not working (as much) is a burden. Society beliefs that with easy to access help, we'd exploit them. So they exploit us.

Disability visibility
Wondering if I want to write anything because it's disability visibility day, and just while I think about it I get a text with nothing but crying emoji.
The friend texting me is too ill to type more, but she knows I get it. I know. She's desperate and the world keeps rejecting her cries for help.
She doens't fit in easy boxes. I see that happening a lot in the disability community, including in my own life.
'We're here to treat problem x. You also have problem y. We can't help you.'
'We're here to treat problem y. You also have problem x. We can't help you'.
And there isn't any place that's both expert on x and y. So you're left to figure it out without help.
(this is about medical help, but the same shit when we ask for financial or practical help)
And I see non-disabled people look with surprise at my lack of help by doctors/professionals. They get good care. Why don't I? They assume it's me who's doing something wrong because they can always trust the system to take care of them.

Narratives built on hate are never internally consistent. They don't need to be to work.
Read that again. Especially if you are a professional opinion maker trying to understand why some asshole wins elections.
Is it motivated by hate? Report the hate, relentlessly, and skip trying to fit it in any sort of specific category, box, or what have you.
The chaos is intentional.

The fascists love to demonize queer ppl for "making everything about sex" or "making their gender their whole personality" but every time I go to a queer event I am struck by how precisely they have this backwards. Cis society is profoundly sexualized, and literally every interaction is pre-coded with assumed gender. In a queer space, you purposefully never make assumptions about who someone is or what they're up to, so interactions are much *less* coded by gender and *less* intrinsically sexual
