I'd already kinda stopped interacting with the server due to one person with rancid politics and everyone else just kinda letting them voice it. But when even the other transfems are pulling that shit, time to pull out. And I left so little an impact nobody noticed. Or if they did they didn't care.

A while ago I had to leave a server because of an uncommon strain of lesbophobia: that becoming trans enough means that gender attraction means nothing and that you will invariably become bisexual because any gender can look like anything, which, ugh, sucks to hear as a trans lesbian

Last month, Aleanna Royal Bechdel, a 31 year-old Black trans woman who was a DJ, promoter, and artist, was murdered in a housing complex in New York, and a 54-year old man was arrested. There has been very little press coverage on this, including by queer outlets run by cis white people.

so you're telling me a white dude calls for mods to "clean house" of trans people, furries, and leftists he doesn't like, the head moderator of the website likes a bunch of his tweets, and then the next day the moderators begin purging the website of trans people, furries, and leftists? strange!

It increasingly seems like Bluesky moderation/admin is simply actively transphobic as a matter of policy. Which, yes, was clear even before they special-cased Jesse Singal's behavior as not harassment or Jay's "WAFFLES LOL" post, but it seems it's really ratcheted up in recent weeks.

Aftertaste
A toxic yuri about surviving yourself
Emoria Weidner

Praise for the Bluesky Edition of Aftertaste
[Aftertaste may be the best book l've ever read.
@lord-goosifer.bsky.social
By turns delightful, harrowing, dizzying, silly, savage, heartbreaking,
and strangely hopeful @tamsin.reimaginedgirl.social
I didn't see a path forward and (Aftertaste) changed that.
Thank you,
And fuck you,
And love you.
@madscutter.bsky.social
I am not the same person I was going into it.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
@dollaryydoos.bsky.social
Devastatingly beautiful.
Marvelous! Aftertastel fundamentally changed me, and really spoke to the truth
and persistence of trans existence.

Every word of praise is thoroughly deserved.
Aftertaste is incredibly good at hurting the reader deeply, but in All the Right Ways. @huhhowdoibluethis.bsky.social
Every tender moment leaves me looking over my shoulder for the next tragedy to strike, which really encapsulates the trans experience.
You'll love it. @jojosey.bsky.social
1 am begging you, if you haven't read Aftertaste yet, please fucking read it!
@awkward.gay
Through all the hate and bigotry, may our stories shine bright, and defiant, and messy, and beautiful forever.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@deunode.bsky.social
Aftertaste is being fully rewritten and expanded into a complete novel.
A print release is in the works.

genuinely I think the obsession with turning things into "productivity time" is a blight on the human condition we could all stand to be a little less productive. constant productivity ain't getting you anything but stress as the oligarchy profits off your labor.

I think the only 3' road to actually electrify was the BRB&L (and they were just EMUs), it would be a lot of work and a whole new system for a single road and minimal gameplay

What does it do to your psyche when other people like you see your home and go "I'm not going there it's too dangerous " Like I'm here, does that just make me a casualty already? Should I resign myself to knowing that I will die here?

Since I posted the epilogue, I have received these responses, among many many more. I am. So. Grateful. Aftertaste is meaningful to so many trans women. That it helped more than one woman come out. That it helped me, writing it. I am very, very, very lucky to know all of you wonderful women.

Thank you for sharing it

Just finished Aftertaste.
First and foremost: I love you.
Secondly: Fuck.

And I didn't see a good path forward.
And you changed that.
Thank you,

and I love you.

It does such that when a trans woman shows up in a modern (past three to four years) show I brace for something bad to happen with her, for her to be treated poorly by the show
