please also note that they're doing what LOOKS like NFTs. in general, Macroverse has an economy focused on gamifying comics as digital collectibles rather than serve as a traditional webcomic host. someone has also accused the creator of scamming before. they're shady af and I'm already a hater.

This is a great thread. Btw I'm *constantly* having to tell non-authors that book tours are Not A Thing for most authors (if they are, the author either hires PR/teams OR does it all themselves). Anyway, this is good on the current realities, which can be tough (but I do really like what I do also)

I'll go one further: If they wanna crucify trans people, they should lead by example. They wanna deny us healthcare, they should voluntarily give up their own first. They wanna deny us housing, they should pack up and leave for the bridge underpass first.

To subject people who are sick and even in some cases dying to such indignity is so unspeakably cruel. All under the banner of a *Labour* government. This will risk lives and damage the health of so many trans people.

The truth is, both trans people and those so strongly anti-genocide that they’d sit out a vote are a vanishingly small minority. And yet I rarely see the people who throw around “purity test” terminology talk about the much larger group, white men and women, who never vote Democrat to begin with.

I genuinely cannot take you seriously if you use the term “purity politics” to describe people who may have to consider voting for a candidate that wants to remove their or their child’s right to medical care.
