@Plumy But she took over, ousted the other admins, and relinquishes no control? Sure she has a "right" to do so, but she just strikes me as a control freak exerting one last element of control as a "fuck you" to all of us.

So no, I don't see what you mean. I don't see what you mean at all. Witches.town wasn't under any threat of collapsing until she made it so out of spite, primarily BECAUSE people were upset at her at the nonbinary discourse.

I'm pretty radicalized, but I think I have reason to be. We collectively need to rise up and *do* things about the way things are. This isn't just revolution in the conflicting sense, but *also* supporting community organization and culture that's better than the system.

We are all stronger together than not, and anything that helps us helps all of us. If you best want to resist, do what you can to provide support for others. Help each other. Help yourselves too. What helps you helps us, too.

BIG MOOD.

Apparently the source is "Trans Girl Diaries" (If you search this out, be warned there's a lot of suicide references and other potentially triggering content)

For the book I want written about Tipsy, I want more than one person contributing. It feels exploitative to make it purely my perspective. It would be great if people could write short stories, essays, etc. About Natalie. It doesn't have to be just about her, either -- conservative Vietnamese customs, for instance, seems applicable. Anything related to Natalie.

Then we want to have it translated into Vietnamese, too.

There's a few things I can say for certain Tipsy would have stood for, given our time together. I'd love for anyone to add to this (or disagree with if they knew her better):

1) Anarchism. Resist the system. All cops are bastards. Form together and help each other out in our resistance.

2) Hedonism. Enjoy yourself. Respect consent and practice moderation, but don't let that keep you from enjoying yourself, from drinking together, from cuddling and being close and loving towards each other (with consent).

3) Meow meow meow meow meow meow.

4) Be yourself. Be as happy as you can. Love who you are. Be gay and as trans as you want

We could use a Vietnamese interpreter for Tipsy's parents. We would prefer someone in the LGBT community. Any volunteers would be lovely

Natalie Nguyen, Tipsy Tentacle, was part of my pack. I didn't make it official, but she was. I ran with her in the woods outside of my house and I felt our connection. She helped us clean our den, she provided for us.

I am so proud to say she was one of us.

Even if deep down she didn't feel it. Even if it wasn't enough.

She IS one of us.

She will always be.

It makes me sad to see so many people down on themselves, their appearance, their place in life -- don't get me wrong, I"m not suggesting you stop! Using social media to broadcast bad feelings is perfectly valid.

I wish I could show the people who say it how truly beautiful they are, and help them to truly feel it.

It's hard, though. Especially because so many of these people have legit hardships that can't be denied, and the future might not always be bright. It's very easy to see sorrow in the future.

But I will always try to help where I can, and I hope we can all end up with a future we can be happy with.
