really good article about alexithymia as a response to trauma rather than an inherent neurological trait

(cw mentions sui, abuse, CSA)

i'm going to be back in the uk after the 15th with access to a workshop similar to mine if any friends want their vintage tech repaired without having to ship it to brazil

i really need stable income but since jobs aren't real anymore i'm taking any help i can get. i have a ko-fi you can send money to and there's even some pins left to buy there. i have a patreon where i don't have any rewards because i couldn't think of any and nobody has suggested any yet. you can also get a pixel portrait for a very reasonable price. or you can tell your employer about me

I co-wrote a cookbook for depressed people and other folks with zero spoons, only knives. It's not meant to be gourmet cooking so much as a survival guide for late stage capitalism. And you can get it for free!

the lesbian flag is so pretty

This was originally a response to someone else, but I'm gonna make it standalone:

The decision to federate with the BBC Fedi instance or not is of course up to individual admins. But trans people outside the UK may not be aware of how deeply dangerous this organisation is. (Especially if the name BBC makes them think of Doctor Who and other fun things.)

BBC journalists are famous for bait-and-switch journalism. They pretend to be writing an article or making a programme raising awareness of trans issues, and then turn it into an anti-trans hit piece, with any trans people quoted out of context to look like monsters.

My advice is "do not interact". Don't respond to any people at this domain striking up a conversation, and don't start shit with them either, tempting though it is.

On reflection, it's a good thing that the BBC has its own instance. We know where they are and who they are. Attempts to "run them off the Fediverse" would be very counterproductive.

Keep yourself safe, and take whatever actions you feel are appropriate.
