I'm happy to take this opportunity to share this awesome pamphlet made by @xerxes.gay

If my memory serves these have been distributed since at least well over a decade ago.

"Fandom" has always rubbed me the wrong way in relation to furries. The distinction does matter.

Happy birthmas Sami :3

Hello bun! :D

An email from Briana Wu, dated May 3, 2014 (about 3 months before the start of GamerGate) 11:39 ... Drinking the Mountain Dew B Brianna Wu May 3, 2014 to zoe v •.• Hey Zoe, You I hope this will stay between us. But, I did want to share something with you. The first time I really heard about you, and Depression Quest, a mutual gamede friend of ours in Boston was complaining about Depression Quest. They had counseled you to take the money from big pharma. They were talking all kinds of shit about how shortsighted it was of you to not do this - but you'd stood your ground and said no. They thought you were a total fool. I didn't know about your reality show, but I did read about the aftermath. And what really impressed me about the situation was you did the exact same thing. A situation was anathema for you, and you said no. You were willing to burn your bridges with an entire production company over the situation. You and I are similar people in that we really care about women in games and calling out the sexism in the industry. But, the truth is - I'm a pragmatist. And, if I were being embarrassingly honest with you, I probably would have taken the money from big pharma. And, I would have drank the Mountain Dew on camera. But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.

But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine. You stood your ground, you made your choices and you still won. There's been a situation at GSK that's been really bad for us and bad for the company. And, I can't go into it just like you can't go into the reality show stuff - but I can tell you, I drank the Mountain Dew on camera for far too long. I have dealt with a really awful, humiliating situation for far too long. It finally ended this week. I don't know you that well, but - I have been thinking about your integrity a lot lately, and how going forward I need to be less of a pragmatist and more of a Zoe Quinn in leading my company. I want to let you know - that's something I really intend to follow through on. I hope that doesn't seem emo, but it is true. And, I think when other women in the industry inspire us, l think we should let them know it. All the best, Bri VIEW ENTIRE MESSAGE + Reply → Forward

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics.

Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

:*:･ﾟ𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕖･ﾟ*.･

I was getting almost close to gawk and shouty at him since I can't easily control my emotions well; and he should know that too. But eh whatever..., fuck him and his shenanigans.

I saw the testimonials in the qrts, yep that says all with the people he impersonated. I've encountered around 5 accounts mind you, each of em changing usernames not even a week in ffs. I just genuinely hope... that he finds the support he needs because this is getting too out of hand.

Of course he tried to contact my friends and also manipulate them to regain respect from me and my friends he alienated. Deliberately misgendered me? I don't know, but for sure he attempted to ask me for advice, and even if I did, he will ignore them altogether and continued his streak of stalking.

I'm not sure if this is late to the situation as I have a lot of shit to say about this person. I've had him muted for 2 months after he got banned from my friend's server. Eventually got sick of this shit and blocked him because I don't want to deal with the manipulation he's projecting onto me.

Thank you to the Missoula Butterfly House for opening its doors for @erininthemorning.com and my bridal photoshoot!

It was so magical and a perfect way to start our wedding day.

More photos to follow, but for tonight, I just keep playing this little preview on loop. My heart is full of love.

Montana Court Blocks State From Refusing to Correct Sex Markers on Transgender People's Birth Certificates and Driver's Licenses | American Civil Liberties Union HELENA, Mont. – A Montana court has granted a preliminary injunction preventing the state of Montana from enforcing policies that bar transgender...

Another anti-trans policy gets blocked by the Montana Courts, as Montana's constitution continues to protect!

To quote Montana's ACLU Director: "Here in Montana we treasure our right to privacy and to live our lives free from governmental intrusion."

Opinion: Washington Post Editorial Board Misleadingly Attacks Care Of Trans Youth The article is filled with double standards and inaccuracies on transgender care, and is the latest hint that the paper's coverage is shifting right when it comes to transgender people.

Democratic panel picks senior Rep. Gerry Connolly over AOC for top Oversight post The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.

Because what the Democratic Party needs is subverting one of the biggest up and coming stars of the party for a 74 year old shoehorned to take her place.

I love you so much baby.

Our Wedding, From The Woman Who Loves Zooey Zephyr Zooey Zephyr and I were married on Saturday, December 14th, in front of our friends and family in Missoula, Montana. This is our wedding story.

On Saturday, Dec. 14, Zooey (@zoandbehold.bsky.social) and I celebrated our wedding in Missoula, Montana, in front of friends and family.

We plant our flag together, for those we care about, and face the future side by side, grounded in an unimaginable love.

Our story and photos:

What a perfect wedding, my love. Every second of that day is etched into my heart forever. And every vow I made—from promising you a gentle love to promising to be a good mom to our son—will be at the center of all I do.

As I said at the closing of my vows, I am your I am yours I am yours.

Y'all should go check this out. I already registered for it and this forum site has a very promising future.

ive been hard at work since october with building a forum website alongside 5 others, as a very deliberate return to creating a new internet third space at a time where we are sorely lacking in them. it's called "yellowtealpurple.net."

yellowtealpurple.net/forums/

I hope people don’t keep posting copies all over the internet!!!!!

Sometimes I see ppl outside the field comparing shows animation and I wish I could go on an hour rant on how the end product is SO DEPENDENT on a pipeline, and sometimes crappy pipelines are forced upon you to by studios, sometimes you’re reinventing one through trial and error..

The most frustrating thing about this "debate" is that we already live in the world right-wingers say they want: Vanishingly few trans people play sports; medical providers require long assessments before transition.

You cannot appease bigots because their stated concerns are not based in reality.

Throwing trans people under the bus is morally wrong and it would not do a goddamn thing to help Democrats, it would just demoralize the base even more.

Precisely zero anti-trans bigots are ever going to vote Dem. None. Not a single one.

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it

My skin has been thickening for years, on a personal level, on a professional level. I’ve seen evil win in my life and in my world. it’s hardened me. Like many other women I’m done caring what men say. About me, about my work, about my life. ❤️ I will continue to create, to fight, to do my best.
