K. Tempest Bradford@ktempestbradford.com · 3w agoJust in case y'all haven't heard, there's an email phishing attack going around where you get an e-invitation from someone you know. This week I've gotten two from faux @tananarivedue.bsky.social and one from faux Jim Frenkel of all people. Email the person to double check!

Was just saying yesterday that it's weird people keep creating Substacks when this Nazi problem has *never* been addressed.

What it feels like is happening outside the past few days...
im done with nuance. if u won't loudly love the trans women in your life like their life depends on it (bc it fucking DOES) then i don't want you in my life. there is no discussion. it's too late for "trans women are valid!" it has to be "i will fight for u as long as i live because i love you!"
I know that they are invasive and I know I have to smush any that I see, but I feel really bad killing spotted lanternfly nymphs because they're so, so cute! Those little spots! The red ones especially are quite aesthetically pleasing....

How. hard. is. it. to translate "man... his" as "person...one's" if you KNOW that the thing was written at a time /place when women & ppl of other genders were excluded from public life but this was the clear plain meaning of the text? The amount of time I spend retranslating just this, people.
If nothing else, I hope everyone flinging open their windows helps air this all out. I've personally been reminding myself that the guilt I feel is misplaced/mislabeled. I am so angry that people were hurt (both by silence and by everyone speaking out). Unhinged indeed.
Reminder that I need to figure out a way to jailbreak the digital stuff I bought from Amazon....

things have gotten...weird with my partner's employer. he was straddled with a lot of responsibilities not long after starting, and his boss displayed a lot of trust in him. Tuesday, my partner got sick on a job, and now he's been effectively demoted. less hours, shit pay, and overall hostility.
