Cops can't be #nightcrew even if they're up and about all night

If you are hand-wringing about how you can personally help: give PoC your money

If you are not physically or mentally able to get out in the streets: give PoC your money

If you get a consistent paycheck and have a comfortable living situation like me: give PoC your money

If all you've done so far is post on social media and argue with your relatives: give PoC your money

Money is material change. Money gets people food and water. Money bails people out of prison. Please give if you're able.

It's my birthday!

If you wanna help me out for my birthday, donate to one of the various bail funds, or attend a protest if you can. I'm not able to do either, so I would appreciate it.

That said, if you've already done that, I'm still tryin to save up money to go back to school, and I'd appreciate any assistance you can give me.

“Without the police/prisons/carceral justice system what will we do with rapists/abusers/etc.”

Lemme let you in on a secret that’s not a secret. The police literally did nothing about those things in the first place. As a survivor the police just escalated abuse and gaslit me, demonized me, called me a liar. And they did the same to almost every survivor I know when they got involved. A lot of the police are fucking domestic abusers and rapists themselves. Fuck the fucking police

i'm here, i'm queer, my sleep schedule is fucked

So let's sumarise koyu.space and Leonie.

* Before koyu space, Leonie was on glitch.social.
I remmeber :codemom: having to deal with Leonie and trying to explain on at least 1 occasion that what was said was racist. So going the education route and been given plenty of chances to do better.

* I called Leonie out on *whine whine* people are just anti german, calling us nazi, they are just cute uwu (after I called out people to block blob.cat, absturztau.be because nazi friends). We had an argument and that's when I blocked koyu.space

* Leonie put out some bullshit about parastat on the line "development is limited to trans people" Like OK, that a take, but also she knows me and she has read my bio for sure. Leonie deleted the toot and said "you don't have to worry, it was before i read the project's description
i am learning, still" (wow, that's not a learning in 3 years tho)

* Now koyu space refederated with gab

* and they blocked the instances that are the most/best moderated instance (eg. that do not let bigotry uncheck)

So yeah, you draw what ever conclusion you want.

Quick PSA: please do not post blank images in important hashtags like BLM--either on mastodon or other sites.

Instagram and other sites have been flooded with black square images in those tags, which has made it harder for people to find important info.

PV deals with soooooo much shit, probably the half of which you all don't even know. The fediverse has good people but it also has a MAJOR whiteness problem that makes it incredibly uncomfortable for BIPOC here, & it's not always as outright as someone shouting slurs. There's overt white supremacy but there's also a lot of shit that is deemed socially acceptable that is covert white supremacy. Honestly ya'll are lucky af to be in the presence of BIPOC here
