It’s funny bc I see their mouths moving, but it’s spez’s words that come out!?

Yeah maybe try not doing that then, if it hurts to do so? (/s)

I mean… give it time, we’ll make as many as needed:-)

I mean… I do now!

Stop sea lioning this conversation! (/s in case not obvi:-P)

I don’t believe you - that cat is definitely going places in that vehicle!

If this had been April 1st…

Or Worship Spez Day…

Then it would make sense, I tell you!?!? 🤡

no

(bc there are actually 3! we are actually in the 3rd right now but Ada changed the name so you can hardly tell:-)

It’s fucking hilarious that 196 is almost the only thing you can find on All:-)

I

Can a rule be “fuck spez”?

Oh wait, we don’t need something so obvious.:-)

I have problems with it… understanding it at least, but I have zero problems respecting it. I think that might be the key right there.

How did you kn… uh I mean, nuh-uh!

God made dragons and eldritch monstrosities the likes of which horror shows can only try to emulate.

But yeah I guess dino bones are cool too? :-P

Hey I have an idea, let’s put him in charge of… “Technology”?

Indeed, I find that if we don’t take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can’t help anyone, so that’s so important to remember (that if we want to help “others”, it has to start with ourselves).

A finger to sit on? How wonderful? 👍

*I* do not, and if there’s one, then surely there’s more like me? :-P

Moreover, I think it’s impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people’s experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don’t get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.

But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.

Thank you for sharing this story.

Since GamerGate was mentioned, here is a link to Innuendo Studios’ analysis called “Why Are You So Angry?”, although I prefer its more broad sequel “The Alt-Right Playbook”.

Though without the kind of linked personal stories, so many people would not be receptive to hearing such analyses, so they both are kinda necessary. :-)
