I'M A FUCKING WOMAN NOW

Hi yall! My name is Yersinia! Pronouns are she/her, I'm pan and polyam, I'm white so take anything I say with a handful of salt. I pretty much exclusively reblog things, I don't say my own shit. I reblog pretty much anything I like, including occasionally NSFW, so be forewarned! I hope you enjoy! Oh and I'm 24 HRT Start Date: 14/11/2024

Hello!

My name is Yersinia, I'm 25, transfem, pan and poly! I'm a bureaucratic socialist weirdo who loves ttrpgs, kink, mtg, grand strategy games and warhammer, amongst many other things! I also write in my free time.

My pronouns are She/Her exclusively. If you use They/Them for me you're giving me permission to kill you, capisce?

Please feel free to DM me for any reason! I'm lonely, stupid, and gay!

DNI is very simple: DNI if you are a bigot of any flavor, if you are a Terf (a type of bigot), or a minor!

I mostly reblog things without tags, which is smth I should work on. I do occasionally reblog horny things so be forewarned!

Any post written by me will be tagged #the speaking plague, so if you wanna see bullshit I've made over the years there it is!

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Excuse me???

you are right and you should say it.

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

TME = cis men, cis women, trans men, transmasculine nonbinary people.

TMA = trans women, transfeminine nonbinary people.

Both categories include women and nonbinary people

Both categories include people with penises, and people with vaginas, and people with ambiguous genitals.

Both categories include intersex people.

TME includes cis and trans men.

Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.

This one's too good to leave in the notes:

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

The last part was kind of insane, honestly. When we started changing platforms for the donor database, I kept telling them that yes I was aware we already had an account for the volunteer database, and no that could not be connected to the donor database. And they said yes fine sure and then connected them anyway. And I called them back and said, excuse me, I'm confused, I can see both databases. And they said, well, yeah, but it's only you, someone has to be able to see both databases to give other users access. The other users can't see both. And I said, no, we have been asking for a completely separate database. I should not be able to see both. And they said, you are one organization, one organization can't have two databases. And I said, last year someone used our volunteer email list to commit approximately one thousand felonies. Please feel free to imagine how much worse it could have been had they had a way to use volunteers' email addresses to get their legal names. We do not want this to be something anyone can do no matter how much we trust them. Let me describe those felonies to you in more detail. And they emailed me two hours later and said, you can have two separate databases.

This post feels like watching an iceberg go by in clear water. The amount of stuff going on beneath the surface of AO3 just astonishes.
