Right.
Time to start drinking again. Even though I'm allergic since #longcovid
It's going to be a dark winter.
Going through all this sober has been hell.
5 severs though! I've saved every rejection. They will be framed along with my Twitter suspension.
Good guys don't erase humans. So I'm collecting my resistance trophies.

I got mad at a guy for using the word feminist over and over and over as a slur in a podcast.
Let off a rant that's been boiling for a long time.
Neven mentioned anything about LGTBQA+
So no idea. Usually they remove posts about Palestine. Now suddenly switched to homophobia on a dime.
I'm totally transmasc, 30 years now.
I was warned that "We will wipe you from the earth" on Twitter. I guess they are still at it.
My 10 year blog dissapeared, most of my super old FB posts, 15 years on Twitter, and now 5 separate instances on #mastodon.

All I am saying is that division is a tool. If you do not believe there are fake trans accounts, fake BLM accounts, fake feminists, digging at your fears, you have learned nothing from Cambridge Analytica.
They know your weakness. They will surround you with it, till your Overton window slides to the right.
These attacks on gay women are getting nastier and nastier. The gays won't stand up for us, even though we sat by their dying brothers because no one else would. #Aids
Gay men say, and I quote. "This is none of our buisness."
I shared a thread of trans women talking about how all lesbians love dick, because they use vibrators.
So I just swapped the talk.
"All gay men love pussy, once it's in who cares?"
I got the uproar I was looking for, then showed them the page about trans men talking about #lesbians
Yep. Not our problem. They said.
Nope, no females in Gay bars, honey.
"Is there a lesbian bar?" Hahahahaha. No. You must mean the drag bar.
Women aren't allowed to have their own bars. Are you a bigot or something?

Yule started in Iceland on the 12th and lasts till the 6th of Jan.
Þrettándinn is much, much weirder, and gloriously so: it is a time of talking animals, aquatic metamorphoses, naked dancing, supernatural gifts, and precognitive dreams. It is what Helga Einarsdóttir, the Museum Educator at the National Museum of #Iceland, calls a liminal time or “a border between two worlds”.
The bonfires in January celebrate all of the fairies and elves who are said to be departing on Þrettándinn, and many local celebrations elect Fairy Queens and Kings who lead ‘elf dances’ around the fire.
#Elf dance traditions may originate with a popular play called “Nýársnóttin,” or ‘New Year’s Eve,’ which was written by Indriði Einarsson in 1907 and first featured the King and Queen of the elves.

Several parallels to Grýla exist in the North Atlantic region, and these are generally associated with mumming and disguise traditions.
Terry Gunnell hypothesizes that Grýla may once have been associated with similar disguise traditions in Iceland, although such practices have not survived to the present day.
In contrast to later depictions of Grýla, no explicit mention is made of Grýla's gender. Not all counterparts to Grýla identified by Gunnell are female figures, and it is possible that Grýla was originally conceived of as a male monster rather than an ogress. In one seventeenth-century poem about Grýla, which depicts her as wandering between farms in summer rather than at Christmas, she is described as a #hermaphrodite #mythology

Swapping man for woman:
“And what is an authentic madwoman? It is a woman who preferred to become mad, in the socially accepted sense of the word, rather than forfeit a certain superior idea of human honor.
So society has strangled in its asylums all those it wanted to get rid of or protect itself from, because they refused to become its accomplices in certain great nastinesses.
For a madwoman is also a woman whom society did not want to hear and whom it wanted to prevent from uttering certain intolerable truths.”

Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ push to overturn conviction
“We must all question any system that would allow this to occur. The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri’s obsession with ‘finality’ over truth, justice, and humanity, at any cost,” Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Williams’s attorney, said in a statement just before the execution. “Tonight, we all bear witness to Missouri’s grotesque exercise of state power. Let it not be in vain. This should never happen, and we must not let it continue.”

Iceland has no free press. On Twitter, I could have got it into the news, I even live posted every earthquake, every volcano, so I have timestamps that match the studies.
Here, nothing, I tried BlueSky too. The scientists brushed me off, lol. There's a difference in credibility when you have 17k followers instead of 3.
All news coming out of Iceland is tourist propaganda. In reality, we're fucked. Most of Iceland is owned by foreign rich people.

❝Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE
• Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
• Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
• Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”
• Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish).
• Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
• Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
• Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.
(OP: Matthew Gardner)
