pros of The Matrix: trans allegory

cons of The Matrix: thinks sleeping all day is bad

@Satsuma (it’s the top result if you specifically search for “estradiol stickies”, but that’s not a technical term and nobody who hadn’t already read the zine would know to use that search phrase)

@Satsuma generally speaking if you are searching for estradiol delivery mechanisms you will get a bunch of academic papers and not a neocities site; i don’t think many people discover it from google

@Satsuma if i were to think it was shared from a place, i would think it was shared from a discord, but if it were, it would be a discord i am not privy to, so my only chance of finding out would be to ask and hope that somebody else *is* in that discord and willing to testify as much for me

did facebook just serve me up……… a FANTASY AUTHOR AD?!?!

@Satsuma :P

@Satsuma oh no now this is going to federate to all of the instances and they’re all going to ping it again

i definitely have no good reason for thinking that a link was shared recently, and am asking completely arbitrarily out of the vain hope someone will fess up

which one of you shared a link to the estradiol stickies zine

how did i miss out on this gem

@Satsuma and as a kid people called me a spider monkey

@Satsuma oh one of the popular NFT things evidently is profile pictures which are monkeys so “monkey profile pic” is being used as a slang for “NFT bro” now

@Satsuma do you mean “how did it happen” or do you mean “why did you want monkey furries”

babe, *i* don’t even know if i’m a pokémon

@david uhhhh searching isn’t enabled on glitch.social and this was a very long time ago so there’s no way i’m going to be able to find the actual post

but the brief summary was something like “i’m tired of seeing this in my timeline, i’m tired of having to deal with it, and it doesn’t bring me joy. so bye”

the social context of this was that sunshine gardens was the (mostly) personal instance of xj9, who was a fediverse user back in 2017 who was pretty involved with open source technologies and fediverse development, as well as big on the solarpunk scene, so they had connections with a lot of the early mastodon adopters/developers. but they also had a tendency towards occasionally making posts which were incendiary and at least a little racist, and federating with people who most of the rest of the mastodon fediverse weren’t happy with.

i don’t think (?) they’re on the fediverse anymore at all, and this is all old history, but i was the backup moderator for glitch.social at this time so i remember it

don’t worry that’s not a mastodon instance anymore

my approach to moderation is really best summed up by that post bea made 4 years ago when she blocked sunshinegardens.org
