If you can understand how transphobic language leads to actual violence, you can understand how racist language does too and vice versa.

If you are committed to not making this another birdsite/hellsite, your first, ultimate, top priority is keeping marginalized people protected from hateful people. That is the main and crucial difference between Mastodon and Twitter & Tumblr.

The way that a marginalized person reacts when there is a breach in this protection is not what makes this turn into a toxic place.

And I'm floating in a most purrculiar way...and the stars look very different today

#introductions

Vila Eloise is a #queer house project located in a village in Galiza (northwest of Iberian peninsule).

We are just setting the house ready for visitors. Staying is free (some abilities trade is appreciated whenever possible) and we plan to offer a work space for artists, meetups and workshops.

Every queer person is welcome, we are a safe space for people of any gender id or orientation (including all non binary genders, a-spec, pan people...) and sex workers. See our site for more info on our philosophy and stances.

This fellowship is for students who are activists. They give up to $15k for a whole year to let you do the work. It opens up in January.

@ArtistMarciaX I've noticed a lot of people who claim to be against screenshotting tend to do it when it suits them

Im generally against screenshotting but there are some times when there's really no other way to express to people what you're dealing with, esp when racism is involved.

How to avoid "drama" on the fediverse:

"IM SORRY"

question yourself before you question poc over the way they deal with racists

SS Dunking BAD:
- when it was a slight disagreement
- when it was about a truly not important issue
- when it was just a difference of opinion
- when someone annoys you or makes you just mad

SS Dunking GOOD:
- Nazis
- Racism without any form of remorse
- LGBT hate without any remorse
- Threats to your livelihood
- When you start to worry about the wellbeing of you or someone else due to the words of that user

I think some people are against screenshots bc then they have to either take responsibility for their actions. Admit they've lied. Deal w facts.

So uh, I'm homeless (person I was living with got evicted), staying with a friend's parents 1½ hours from my brand-new job, and need things like work outfits (my job has a dress code) and gas.

I'm not paid until Friday. When I start making money and have a roof over my head, I will be helping others. But for now I need some help to get through the week.
