participation in the fediverse has a way higher bar to entry than meta will ever be satisfied with and as soon as they realize this they will pull the plug

super excited for them to waste more money on things which they don't understand and will never work

was going to comment with some of this on the #EndOTWRacism call to action itself but i got a bit too annoyed and it became a whole post of its own

https://hojarasca.dreamwidth.org/956.html

on the one hand, this isn’t as terrible as it sounds since a majority of board seats ARE up for election this year

on the other hand, they’ve yet to confirm that there even are four antiracist candidates running and they certainly haven’t said who they are

on the gripping hand, the O·T·W board actually does not have much real power, so this seems at best like it won’t produce much in the way of results, and at worst like a good way to position yourself to take the blame (should your candidates get elected and not be able to deliver) for all the things the organization has been failing at so far

has decided to switch tactics from “direct action” to “voting”

• pursued the yiga into the gerudo mines
• took on kohga again
• okay now i have to figure out how to get OUT of here
• (made it eventually)
• stopped by the yiga hideout in gerudo canyon but they wouldn't let me in, rude
• got more geoglyphs
• checked in on gerudo town since i’ve otherwise done all that i need to in that area
• everything is sand
• busted into gerudo town; tracked down the clothing store; got some SAND BOOTS and SNOW BOOTS which i have been sorely missing
• met up with riju and zapped some gibdos

also wow they really decided to make Ganondorf sympathetic in this one huh

interesting that Sonia is described as “Hyrulean” not “Hylian”—implying that Hylia worship isn’t a thing yet
