IDGAF if people who used to know me misgender me and/or use the wrong name for me now because I don’t know you anymore, they’re referring to a dead person as far as I’m concerned. If you try to connect with me and do this, know I’m gonna block you and ignore your existence. The fact you’re using the wrong pronouns and/or wrong name is in itself proof that you’re no longer part of my life and I don’t need you back.

Twitter users will not survive the winter

What do they mean it’s impossible to have conversations there’s at least three different ways to do so here

"It's impossible to have conversations there" -person coming from a website where DM'ing is now paywalled behind Twitter Blue.

"it's impossible to have a conversation here" yeah ur right were so limited by our ability to type as many words as we want for as long as we want 😔

i want people to appreciate pigeons. not "ehehe skrunkly little trash gremlins. so adaptable and resilient". nothing wrong with that sentiment towards racccons and opossums, but when people do this about pigeons, it shows a fundamental misunderstanding about a pigeon's place in the world.

pigeons were beloved. they were pets, they were tools, they were food. we found use and pleasure in everything about them. then they became obsolete. then they stopped being popular. an animal that we have literally thousands of years of deep history with, completely discarded by mankind to the point most people are ignorant of their existence outside of "rats with wings".

Nothing funnier than communities and organizations lamenting why they can’t attract more racial minorities, why racial minorities are leaving them in droves. Any time this happens I know for a fact it’s because the powers that be and people who are part of these communities and organizations are racists, but of course the racists never look inward, it’s always mealy-mouthed outreach programs and PR campaigns that do shit fuck to address the issues. Issues that, almost always, racial minorities spoke on and clearly outlined already—but because white people, no matter their political ideology, want racial minorities to shut the fuck up, they were ostracized, driven off, and their testimony suppressed. “Boo hoo, why is our fandom/organization/friend group doing so poorly with black and brown people?” You know damn well. “What can we do to do right by our peers of color?” Stop being racist.
