anger towards oppressors / those in an oppressing class is... valid and good actually.

maybe take a breathe and be more understanding of your social privileges and how you benefit from things or even contribute to harm of others instead of trying to tell vulnerable people to calm down

I'm embarrassed to do this, esp since I see people in far more need than me posting everyday

This isn't even a necessity but the annual bill for my fiction website ( http://firebird-fiction.com/ ) is due 13th June & I'm in a tight spot which while it's under control (mostly) leaves me unable to pay the $103.20 bill & I don't want to lose it

What I need is kind peeps to either suggest a cheaper host or drop money on my ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/A822KV9 please

Here's the coldest take you'll get today and then I'm gonna stop on this for today cause I got shit to do:

If you think that there are more attacks on white people here, then you've got a humongous perception issue.

I'm gonna use this space to request that y'all leave some recommendations of POC users - particularly outspoken ones - that people should follow (if they are ok with it.) Most people see @Are0h around but there are so many more POC on this platform than just him.

count how many times you step up or down in a day

look at how far you'd have to go to avoid the step (or how much time you'd have to spend waiting for someone to put down a ramp/lift)

count how many feet you travel over sidewalk/pavement that's so uneven you couldn't roll over it

why do people keep CWing their self-promotion when there's nothing like... even remotely objectionable about the content

how much do you have to dislike your work if you think it's bad to just show people the stuff you made

Gentle reminder to please put alt text on your images if you are able to as a common courtesy to low vision/blind users. Screen readers cannot magically describe images, they need that alt text.

.

while i'm at it i feel like it's also worth a reminder that

queer people of color exist are valid
there are nonbinary latinx people
there are black chaotic-futch lesbians
there are bisexual indigenous people
there are muslim trans people

queer doesn't just mean blue-haired white ppl

Oh right I have a question: for those of you who do online kink (especially aces), how does it differ from IRL? Any tips for dipping one's toes into the online kink waters or establishing/finding online kinkships?

Laptop shutdown on its own two times already. It's time to do them backups before it dies (I'm extremely sorry unlucky with them). *sigh*

Remember to backup your stuff frequently, don't do like me. I am no example to follow! D:

>> … on average, when Craigslist’s opened erotic services in a city, the female homicide rate went down 17 percent.
> 17 percent. That’s not the homicide rate for female sex workers. That’s the homicide rate for all women.
