for all my friends suggesting they might leave twitter due to the changes to the Block feature, you owe it to yourselves to hang around long enough to see if these changes get X de-listed from Android and Apple storefronts, so you can laugh a little harder on your way out

btw when you say “this queer fiction is fine, but that queer fiction is problematic and shouldn’t be allowed” you are handing bulldozer keys to the people who want no queer fiction to exist

A reminder that the previous Governor halted Marcellus's execution indefinitely and put together a group to examine his case and look at clemency. Parson dismantled that group and restarted the execution despite the Prosecuting Attorney's pleas. He should never know peace.

so now if nsfw accounts block minors they can still see their posts excellent gambit sir well played

I'm really deep into the Dragon Age rabbit hole now, and I just found an old post made by DAO and DAI's lead writter, David Gaider in 2014 about being a gay writer + inclusivity in videogames.

When people shit and piss themselves about inclusivity in Dragon Age, remind them that its world was created almost entirely by a gay man. The gay cooties have always been there. Guess that makes you officially gay unless you stop playing these games forever <3

We really do need to bring old fandom terms back. Especially squick. You can dislike something without accusing the creator of being morally bankrupt.

“Tonight, Missouri will execute an innocent man, Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams. More than one million concerned citizens and faith leaders implored Governor Parson to commute Marcellus’s death sentence. Missouri will kill him anyway,” said Tricia Rojo Bushnell, his lawyer.

the names and faces of the MO Supreme Court judges that allowed #MarcellusWilliams to be executed today.

The state of Missouri just knowingly executed an innocent man. This was a modern day state sponsored lynching. The man responsible is Gov Mike Parson. He pardoned white republicans who were actually guilty, but refused to intercede to save the life of an innocent black man.

Tonight, Missouri executed an innocent man. Our hearts are with Marcellus and his loved ones. innocenceproject.org/innocence-proj…

I think I might spare you my DA posting by moving my thread to bluesky quiteromantic.bsky.social

Okay. Let’s talk about the Ishgardian discourse quickly. A few observations, and my opinion on the subject. I won’t speak on lore too much, because it ultimately isn’t the issue. We all know the guy was wrong from the beginning. I am black and indigenous. Let’s start.

Second: The guy defined himself as an “Ishgardian nationalist” and was calling Turali characters “s*v*ges” and “uncivilised”. That’s when this stops being a “RP drama” and it becomes an actual, irl issue. You know damn well what this wording has been used to justify, even today.

At the end of the day, black and indigenous ppl cannot exist in peace. We cannot play a game without random racists. We cannot do fan art without getting called slurs. We cannot do cosplay without getting harassed. We have our very experiences thrown to the side. It’s exhausting.
