Sydney Falk: This Didn't Happen You Never Saw Me @sydneyfalk@mst3k.interlinked.me

"In time you will find it easy to assume that you deserve the extra cookie. For all I know, you may. But you’ll be happier -- and the world will be better off -- if you at least PRETEND that you don’t."

I have a discord ( Sydney Falk #8844 ) and a wire ( sydneyfalk ) and an email ( sydneyelectrafalk@gmail.com )

> You owe a debt to the unlucky. I make this point because ... it is something that will be easy for you to forget.

Quick note for new Mastodonians:

If you try to follow someone and get an hourglass, it means they have to approve your follows.

It is not a reflection on you if this doesn't happen immediately. Notifications about this aren't in the same window as the usual "someone followed you" default notifications.

It's not like Twitter's thing. It's Masto's own thing, and some of us are a bit more security-conscious than others, and some of us are slow to review our follow requests.

#newbie #advice

when are we getting the gritty reboot of Doctor Detroit we deserve

#43group needs to be a thing dammit

(but seriously it'd be great to see that kind of thing, esp with an equality focus in terms of planning out target selection and actions taken, and with safeguards in place to protect bro-ism co-option)

(it'd be reassuring even, TBQH)

(yet of course it's easier for people unthreated by fash to claim oversensitivity is the problem and not, y'know, the *fascists* -- they just to worry about their own rep and don't fight fash at all)

we need a 43 group

not an exact analogue, of course -- but ex-techbros, general techies, social scientists, some ex-mil or ex-intelligence agencies, who take to the net to wipe out fash

all from marginalized groups or allies, united to break high-up fash players with all their tricks

no matter where they are on the internet

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

IF NO ONE ELSE CAN HELP

AND IF YOU CAN FIND THEM

wait no that's the A-Team, sorry

mastodonicating together

weird new feelings

some of them are...good but intense, kind of like when Xanax was added, but...not as intense? maybe more good, in some areas?

chaos is the only constant; order is certain to vanish except when it doesn't

hey when does

SHREDWORLD

come out
