About time tbh

it's called #COP27 because all climate change policy is a cop-out

jerkin' it in the back row seats of plato's cave

gender of, well, it's hard to describe. I have it down in this cellar actually if you'll follow me down?

animal kinnies have always been around, neurotypical people just call them cat lovers and dog lovers. Martha got a clock shaped like a CAT on her WALL and it does a silly little thing where it looks back and forth! what do you call yourself, a devotee?? sure, Martha

Corvid Love.
I captured an intimate moment for these two American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) at a park near my house in #Seattle.

While #crows have a reputation for being jerks, I like this image for showing they have a tender side as well. I observed long enough to know he's not actually poking her eye out; this was an example of "allogrooming" behavior for your science word of the day. You're welcome.

@nihilistwendys BULLSHITS FOR THE BULLSHIT THRONE

i'm OG in the weird black department

and at this point, i just have to laugh.

because much like the wider world in which we all live, if the vibes of your space depend on replicating the same old white supremacist shit by another name (the literal definition of neoliberalism, btw) then your shit was inherently fragile and that has nothing to do with newcomers.

and like the coloniality of the western world, your fragility will not protect you, it will be the undoing of what you claim to love.

but way to bring border imperialism energy to a fucking website

while also assuming that non-white people wouldn't appreciate the kind of "weirdness" that places like Tumblr and Mastodon cultivate & thrive on

throw a stone at a subcultural space, you will hit a space with PoCs.

assuming they're not saturated with self-loathing, they're probably waiting for the white majority to question the utter unmitigated irony of believing that replicating white supremacist norms is somehow "different"

like hand to God?

I have to laugh!

anytime i try to think about it, i start cracking the fuck up.

like babes, i live in an antiblack world, with heavy doses of white supremacy.

I navigate both in the hellhole that is the normie world and every subculture I've been a part of: goth, punk, witchcraft, straight edge, straight edge veg, BDSM/kink, polyamory, fat liberation or positivity, books.

I'm far from new to this, I'm true to this!

when it comes to masto, i don't think it's coincidental that these cries to "keep mastodon weird!" are cropping up at the same time new and old PoC users describe their experiences with racism.

specifically, Black masto users describing their experiences with antiblackness

on a visceral level it's offensive, but also heinously high school. the idea that if you fiercely gatekeep who is allowed in and scare away those who you assume "wouldn't make a good fit" then you create a hermetic seal

In the few weeks since I've returned to both Tumblr and Mastodon (following the slow death of the bird app), both of my timelines have been a veritable tapestry of what I tend to call the "weaponization of white weirdness"

specifically the fear of white folks who dominate specific subcultural spaces that the inclusion of more people who weren't already part of a subculture will somehow alter the cultural aesthetics, mores, etc

very "there goes the neighborhood" syndrome
