  • Happy New Year!

    For the upcoming new year, I want to reflect on my goals and what I would like to change. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I want my public presence to be like and how I want to focus on that more. Especially trying to blend in-person things with my online presence. Here…

    Scare Tactics

    We live in an era where it’s easier than ever to spread our message, but with this comes its drawbacks; it’s also a time where it’s easier than ever for our enemies to intimidate us. Instead of spitting in our faces, they have the luxury of cursing us out over the internet. Instead of stalking…

  • Something’s Gotta Change

    What is the fediverse? Most people would say that it’s just social media, a place where people can run microblogging instances that all federate with each other, and where people can post cat videos, selfies, and “the weekend.” But to radqueers, paraphiles, and MAPs, it’s community.

  • The Streisand Effect

    Obviously I’ve posted about this a lot on the fediverse recently. I’m not trying to rub salt in the wound, but I wanted to make a post about it on my main blog in order to compile all of my arguments and to hopefully make a statement that the radqueer community at large can understand…

  • Life Being Doxxed

    It’s not usual for me to post more than once a month, but someone on my org’s Tumblr sent an anonymous ask wanting to know what it was like being doxxed and how it’s affected my life, and it didn’t seem appropriate to post there so I figured I’d post it here, since it seemed…

  • Washington, My Home

    Washington, My Home

    I was born and raised in the glorious pacific northwest. I never had any nationalistic feelings towards it, that felt silly, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that the deciduous woods weren’t beautiful. The trees that line the highways. The deer and coyotes that poked their heads into the cities now and…

  • Turning Point

    Last week we held my organization, Beyond the Plus’, first monthly socials, and there was a lot to unpack. In a good way!

  • Ally Kotetsu: Blacklisted

    I knew the day would come where I’d be blacklisted from an event, I just didn’t know it’d be so soon.

  • We’re Here and We’re Queer

    This is gonna be a bit of a preaching to the choir, depending on who ends up reading this. I always see the way people talk about us and wanna stand up for this community, but I don’t want to bring the negative attention towards me. Violet thought making a blog post about it would…

  • Bluesky, A Love-Hate Relationship

    Bluesky, A Love-Hate Relationship

    I suppose I really don’t have a right to complain about when social media platforms ban me. It’s not like it’s a human right to make posts on the internet, and there are people out there who have less and don’t complain, but I still have the right to be upset about discrimination like this.
