I was on my way to leave the nature preserve yesterday and had stopped to look at my phone when suddenly there’s a flash of movement next to me! A red tailed hawk! And they landed in the tiny tree directly to my right. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wild hawk so close before but wow they were beautiful. They stuck around for a while so I was able to get some nice pictures of them, even letting me move around a bit for different angles. I checked with the nature center there just to make sure it wasn’t a lost rehab hawk with how tame it was and since it had a band but nope, the hawks there apparently just don’t care lmao
moderation event: libel
TL;DR: single user instance spread already rampant libel inadvertently, doubles down on the racist side and stands by said libel. Then engages in new, original libel, now including me! Yay!
The user @tastytea@very.tastytea.de responded very badly after I asked them to not spread libelous charges against @welshpixie (an actually anti-racist moderator of mastodon.art) in a post they boosted (about an emoji of all things!). Taking part in spreading libel does not make you a neutral party, which seems lost on this user, when they could have easily un-boosted libel from the racist harasment oriented queer self-styled progressive side of fedi.
The user "tastytea" is now responding to an attempt at feedback in the event of spreading libel, by broadcasting that I've attempted to communicate to them as a mutual? Well of course, the immediate insistence on receipts is not directed at me, but to the unspoken audience of racist queers who won't listen to accounts from black and brown people. I take this to be direct libel (now you're deciding to get dirty with it) and also a broadcast to attract other racists and antisemites who already pester me without this happening. Here is their post (again, directed at me rhetorically, but not mentioning me by @ or in a thread)

Please note that I am Jewish and have studied antisemitism and holocaust studies, and although it has nothing (explicitly) to do with anything below tastytea feels it is fit to mention antisemitism.
Well guess what now YOU are part of the receipt pile! Not that you'd read it since it came from welshpixie arch-evil of fedi for not tolerating bigots.
Here is the thread I started, where I eventually reply to tastytea when I realize they were boosting the weird emoji post bundled with the anti-racist moderator DNI message inexplicably in the same post:

And here is the weird fox emoji post referencing the well-known anti-racist moderator of mastodon.art, pissing off bigots everywhere:

I'll put some of the usual hashtags here. I'd love to invite bigots and their sympathetic friends to block our instance pixie.town as I know you read these obsessively as you cyber-stalk me. To everyone else, suspend envs.net and tastytea.de if you want since those are definitely in the no good camp. To welshpixie: sorry to spam your notifs I know you already are a caught in their racist conspiracies constantly as if you are their queer George Soros.
Anyways, for me it is back to drinking christian blood and mingling the races! Have a good day everybody! Sorry I let you know this happened it is so fucking stupid, but this is just how whiteness goes.

Sorry for typos, drafted on my new phone and the keyboard isn't right. I got a life and shit to do unlike these people.
I think it is OK to not trust most people at a personal level. That's a lot different than nonspecific impersonal trust in municipal services like water and sewage, and way less necessary or personally dangerous.
Alternatively I could unreasonably trust many people on a personal level and insist on making no distinction. But that way charts a course for libertarian seasteading latrine disasters where the "plumber" is your "friend"
Welshpixie and Ro are invasively pervasive in the minds of bigots on fedi like Bill Gates and George Soros are for the more general population. While that's obviously not good, I am almost tempted to bestow some kind of formal honor or award acknowledging it in a tongue-in-cheek kinda way. Not sure what that would look like or how to handle it in a way that is appropriate.
Ok, let’s get historical for a second.
The types of tactics and strategies we see specifically lobbed at Black and Brown people have a specific point of origin.
When people say I ‘fantasize about violence,’ this harkens back to a very old racist trope about Black folks being dangerous and primitive.
When people call me a scammer and a grifter, that’s a specific attempt to devalue the contributions of Black folks to society and try to contextualize them as worthless.
When people get angry because I wont apologize to my harassers, that’s speaks to this expectation that I should be compliant and subservient even in the face of dehumanizing behavior.
All of these efforts are to enforce white supremacy culture.
The conversation around moderation and safety is making it difficult for bigots to behave in hateful ways and escape consequences because we are talking and sharing knowledge.
This is the antithesis of white supremacy that thrives when we are divided.
And we know it’s an attempt to enshrine white supremacist culture in the fedi because of how specific these attacks are against Black and Brown people in this space.
And I'll refine it further: It is a problem that popular understanding of transphobia and how it works is being mainly defined almost exclusively by non-Black people at this point.
Do you hear that sound? It is the sound of a white leftist's virtue ethics boiling and evaporating in atmospheric pressure. You see, they'd truly commit to the cause if it simply never implicated cozy-core white queers with no values or principles. However, this is no frictionless vacuum, hence the boiling.

Many bivalve species exhibit sequential hermaphroditism, meaning they start as one sex and transition to another during life. This is advantageous because many can't move, so if they change during their lifetime, they can have twice as many mates! Most species showing sequential hermaphroditism are protandric (starting as males, and transitioning to be female or both as they grow in body size), but some less common examples of protogyny (starting as females) have been reported! #clamFacts
