hey, just wanted to let you know someones been sending a lot of really inflammatory, spammy anons with your url attached. from what i can tell, you dont really seem like the type whod go around sending stuff like that to random transformers blogs (i got one on my sideblog and a few mutuals did as well)? just wanted to make sure you were aware, i don't want people to be coming up to you to start shit if you had nothing to do with it! have a nice day
Hey, woah, thanks for letting me know! That’s… well, that’s certainly some unexpected news. I sure hope it’s evident enough by syntax and use of language alone that those anons obviously aren’t me. That, and the fact that they’re anons… signed with a name. Hello? Just send off anon if you don’t want to be anonymous? Oh wait. Yep. That’s more than enough of a red flag, though again I feel as if I am stating the obvious.
For anyone else in the dark, this is what I found from searching recent posts with my url:
Damn though, that’s one shitty impersonation attempt. Anyone who understands the first thing about my politics would know I never talk about “rights”, and I never really use that term in my rhetoric (because rights are something withheld and granted by an authority, and ideally I don’t want such an authority making those decisions, but that’s a whole different topic).
Second, when speaking specifically about animal liberation and human supremacy, it wouldn’t be very accurate to colloquially refer to non-human animals as simply “animals”. That simply would not be logistically accurate language in terms of the actual critical analysis of species relations.
Also, “shitlibs”? Jesus, grow up.
The vast majority of debates, particularly internet debates, are a waste of time and energy. When I turned 16, I was already going through some major activist burnout, and it was also then when I stopped calling myself an activist. I promised I wouldn’t engage in debates unless someone was coming to me with with the genuine desire to hear my thoughts. I’m disabled. I’m a spoonie. I simply cannot run my nerves like that for no reason. There IS no point when you pick a losing fight. Who on earth expects to change somebody’s perspective when you’re acting hostile and yelling at them? If there’s even a “cause” to be had, you’re giving it a bad name. Log off. Go do something meaningful. Clean up the beach, work a zine stand, or volunteer at Food Not Bombs, anything but insulting random strangers online. That being said, self-care is an act of rebellion too. (This is all rhetorical; I’m not speaking to anyone in particular, but young politically involved folks, this might be useful advice.)
New tumblr milestone y’all… I managed to make somebody angry and obsessed enough to attempt some The Room (2003) levels of performance all over Just Some Guy on the Internet (yours truly). Was it the TERF from a month or two ago, or was it that ship hate blog? Maybe even somebody I banned off of Discord? Place your bets. 🤷
