I finally hopped onto the hype and made a Bluesky! Finally back to having a microblog I can use. The PDS is self-hosted, so they can't ban me in any meaningful way. Please hit me up with a follow if you like my old posts and want to interact with me again! I've been away from this community for a while and have been itching to get back into it. My profile is @allykotetsu.com.
Big thanks to everyone who attended last night's Christmas stream! That stream was a last minute idea, so for our next one I wanted to provide more announcement time, which will be on New Year's Eve! Come join us on New Year's Eve from 6-10 PM PST for a silly stream celebrating the turn of the year. The livestream will be at https://live.allykotetsu.com/.
Heya! Catch me tomorrow between 6:00-10:00 PM PST for a Christmas stream! You can follow me and turn on notifications at https://live.allykotetsu.com/. It's ActivityPub enabled, so you can follow me from your favorite Mastodon, Akkoma, Misskey, or any other instance! And notifications can be enabled from the website.
Thanksgiving is a holiday I am not too fond of, not only does it lead to awkward family get together, but it is based on an event taught to us all as a lie, a continued propaganda despite the fact that most adults know it is a lie. I am referring to the colonization “discovery” of America and the “peaceful” meal shared between the native Americans and European emigrants.
Everyone is scared about a Trump presidency: women, people of color, and, what I'll be writing about in this post, queer people.
It's easy to see the election results and go doomer. No one wanted this outcome, but I think the only thing we can do is stand our ground. Don't let this change life for you. We're in a fight for our rights, so fight.
This is one of, if not the most, important American presidential elections of all time We are facing a tyrant that wants to restrict reproductive freedom, queer lives, and racial equality. If you are old enough, you can play a part in making sure the conservatives don't win this election.
There are many news sources online, I am sure we are all familiar with the likes of FOX News and CNN. Bigger news publishers like these tend to focus on the biggest headlines, but when it comes to smaller communities that need the spotlight just as much as big ones, what about smaller publishers?
In case you didn't see my last post (the blog can be weird sometimes) I have a new pedi instance open for applications at https://social.radqueer.net/ and my account there is @allykotetsu. If you're interested in joining, check out Announcing: social.radqueer.net. It does not federate, so if you wanna see any of the content on it you'll have to sign up, for privacy reasons.
radqueer.net is getting a new feature: social media! A bit late to the party, but in an attempt to create a platform that won't go down, I am throwing my hat into the microblog race, with a few big differences than other fedi instances.
