It is a scathing indictment that I am somehow a queer elder now. I’m 42. There is a generation before me but not nearly as large as it should be. And trans folks? We’ve always existed but good luck finding the elder of us. Between transphobia, lack of access to care, and poverty, too many didn’t make it.

Online communities are real communities. People have met future spouses, weathered difficult life events, organized politically, raised money to help each other all through the panoply of social websites.
Often community rules and culture are guided by moderators, who almost always work for free.
Despite all of this we generally accept that these are not the people who own the website or the ones who control its fate.
Over and over this creates heartache and disappointment.

That post gives the context, but if you already know what the Famicom game Cocoron is and you want the direct link to a new way to play it:

@deejvalen nice. I read it the first time as “look if you’re trans” because it made sense and would fit the rhyme
@deejvalen move a couple of words around and this is an eleanor rigby
Gargron? That's the buff demon dude you need to hit with a pinball, right?

sorry I haven't been reposting my Silver Ball Century #pinball streams here consistently!
Tonight is a bonus stream because pinball in 1992 is too good for just two streams

Laurie Penny, still relevant https://lauriepenny.substack.com/p/peace-is-still-weirder-than-war
#eurovision as a peace project; national competition re-envisaged as something gloriously silly, irreverent, irrelevant, fun, camp and democratic.

@pup_hime @deejvalen what else would “godspeed” mean, if it doesn’t mean that each god makes you go faster
