people love making shit like this the problem of non-binary people who are assumed to be men and trans women who are assumed to be men instead of just kicking people who behave badly by pushing and shoving from the event. it really has played into the division that transphobes are trying to sow.

oh my god if educating transphobes was our job we'd never have time to do anything else

I haven't seen official sourcing on it yet but apparently a QAnon guy got suspended for posting notoriously bad child sexual abuse materials and then Musk reinstated the account. I'm frankly afraid to look it up because I don't want to see the materials. https://twitter.com/faineg/status/1684329030500098048?t=747mnnSVncGD8OBd0Vhddg&s=19

Hey, remember when the author of this piece falsely accused a political opponent of sexual violence in an attempt to discredit him? I remember!

Yeah, I'm @NoraReed@mastodon.social. I'll probably move off that instance soon though, I got a bunch of trolls recently.

I had a really difficult weekend and didn't sleep much last night, but I did sell a piece of jewelry that I'm really proud of yesterday, so that's a bright spot.

I go to YA when I don't want to be challenged. I love The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix in particular.

I don't think pictures are back yet but here's my fused glass collection!

i think you should just figure out how to present yourself in a way that brings you joy without second-guessing if you are doing it because of internalized misogyny. go toward what pulls you. it's always okay to change your mind.

Local food not bombs groups might be able to use them, or at least direct you at someone who can.

I've been getting ready to sell my jewelry at local markets, so I'm going to be working on bulking out my inventory and putting together my table :)

Hi, I'm Nora! I'm a queer jeweler and I make funny bots sometimes. I am into tabletop games, leftism, colors, dragons, etc.
