can’t you already hear the cloying first act “i want it” song showstopper about spreading magic after she spends her last 20 pound note at a london coffee store? a slightly whimsical tune just after contrasting her rejection letters with hogwarts acceptance letters? the meritocracy that totally exists and isn’t a neoliberal fiction rewarding her for her struggle being the REAL acceptance to hogwarts that these libs crave? and her haters, the REAL dementors looming at the edge of the castle gates?

haha but let’s be honest folks. the REAL bad harry potter hamilton-style musical we’ll all have to hear about won’t be a retelling of the stories from the books. it will be a saccharin and probably slightly dishonest retelling of jk rowling’s rise to international fame. this will happen in our lifetimes and it WILL win tonys

folks when i say this is a REAL BEAT from hamilton....

here's me covering eugene by sufjan stevens, from "carrie & lowell"

i have been practicing this song for four years and it feels amazing to finally record a version i like 💜

@frostotron Yep. MRAs hate when you point out that the Matrix was written by two trans women as a trans allegory.

I was curious what kind of pill it was, because I'm that kind of person, so I looked it up. (2/2)

I want to give a shout out to the transphobic, homophobic, misogynist guy on Facebook who used this as his illustrative image when he was trying to convince someone to "redpill" themselves. (1/2)

Smooch huge monsters

Also, because I've spent time taking otherkin ideas seriously and doing futurist philosophy to them, this has led the people in my offline life to start treating my gender-identity like a "delusion" created by being too adjacent to otherkin, and something that must therefore never be accepted or enabled. Really, that wedge is already being weaponized against queer people by both queer and cishet people. So tell me how maintaining this wedge "protects" me again

My least favorite dynamic on every website is "watching bantery queer accounts make fun of otherkin because they believe it's a way to protect queer legitimacy," because rather than feeling protected, I just feel like you've moved on to the next acceptable target. This is aside from the fact that otherkin identities point toward the future of high-tech bodyqueer existence and you're preemptively putting a wedge in place against it. And then you always, always double down

It'd look something... like this!

@Jantu Hate speech is not free speech. Fork it and kindly get fucked. ;D

If you're not 100%+ in favour of Tusky's decision to block a known Fascist instance from using their official build of an app, please feel free to unfollow/block/whatever me now.

Not taking a stand against fascism is being complicit in said fascism.

🌟 Deplatform all Nazis.🌟

The only good Nazi is...

...one who is wholly unable to reach any audience to preach their intolerance and hate. And is given the help they need to mend their ways and reintegrate into society.

No platforms for Nazis.

Deplatforming works.

Banning known neo-Nazis and their sympathizers from the official builds of your apps?

Not only A-OK with me, but downright encouraged.

We fought a war over this, and people - not just politicians - have been murdered by neo-Nazis in just recent history.

They're already illegal in many places where these apps are not just used, but *developed*. Not everywhere is as uncaring and enabling as the US.

Was talking about Mastodon with an old-school sysadmin guy. We reached the realization that defederating from instances with no/bad moderation is essentially the same thing as blocking open relays back when you ran your own email server: open relays always end up getting used for spam, you block 'em to protect your users.

Email was and still is the first federated social network, so it already faced a lot of the same problems; we should study its solutions (and its failures).

This is an archipelago.

It's not one place but a series of islands of differing sizes and closeness. You've landed on the shores of one of them that you like and set up camp. You can always hear what your neighbours are talking about and you get parcels full of the messages sent out from neighbouring islands.

If it seems too quiet, you can venture out to look at some of the other islands. They each have their own unique culture. Some speak languages you don't understand; some speak your language but use it in ways you don't understand, yet. Some places they seem to talk of only machines, or politics, or music. In others they make art for their neighbours to enjoy. Some are ruled over by a laird, others are democracies. All islands display their rules clearly; most enforce them justly.

You're not tied to the island you're currently on. You could set up a home on another island, many other islands if you please. Perhaps here you will write poems, while over the horizon you will learn how to repair a broken computer. Argue vigourously on one island, return to another to enjoy the views of your neighbours' gardens.

All these places are accessible to you. You can befriend people on any island and receive visitors or not, as you choose.

This is our achipelago. It is Free and you are welcome.

Aw just when I thought I should rein in my Friday afternoon Paula Temple #techno posting, I find she's got a track called Post-Scarcity Anarchism 💘
