  1. Arial Wintertail, the Ogre’s Wife

    Good Morning, everyone. Happy Sunday. I pulled out another old writing piece, reworked & expanded it. It's from a (possible) short story that's been bouncing around in my writing folder. ____________________________________________ As the self-proclaimed "Prettiest Fairy in All the Land" (or PFAL), Arial Wintertail always had her pick of charming suitors. But when Tansy Gigglevail suggested the new FDS (Fairy Dating Service)—well, she just couldn't pass it up. Her chances of marrying a […]

  6. Alice, her doll & the Gibbering Mouse

    Good Morning, everyone. I hope you're doing well and feeling fine. It's been a minute since I've last posted, but there's good reason. I've been updating old pieces and writing new ones. Today, I'm going to share an old, but goody that I updated and expanded on a bit. One of these days I will get around to drawing all the characters, so you can really get to know them, but for now, we'll use the fairy and pixie above. __________________________________________ Alice, her doll and the […]

  11. Genocide denial is on the rise again. With media blackout about the horrors of life in Gaza concentration camp, hasbara trolls have intensified their attacks against anti-genocide activists on social media.

    Playing on people's inability to differentiate between Genocide and extermination, these trolls use the same language as the Holocaust deniers

  13. La fiesta era esto: Telegram, #bulos, acoso, dinero opaco, causas penales y #victimismoultra cuando llama la Justicia.
    No era antisistema. Era el sistema de siempre, pero gritando más fuerte y con canal propio

    5. Las redes sociales prometieron conectar al mundo y han acabado premiando al que más grita, más odia y más acosa.
    Los #trolls no buscan debatir. Buscan ensuciar, intimidar y romper cualquier conversación.
    Y el #algoritmo lo sabe. Por eso los alimenta'

  14. Ah yes, the golden age of web forums: where #trolls roamed free and "reply" buttons were just a suggestion 😜. Let's all shed a nostalgic tear for those digital dinosaurs 🦖 while conveniently forgetting why they died out in the first place. In other news, #MySpace is making a comeback! 😂

  18. Interacting with real pro Israel blue MAGA troll on BlueSky was hilarious

    Posting about ongoing genocide, got him really triggered

    Then played victims card and reported me for harassment and hateful behavior right before blocking me.

    In a just world, anyone denying the genicidal in Gaza would be punished, fined and jailed, but sadly it's not going to happen.

  22. Every time I get mad at the internet for people being #trolls, along with all the hate and
    discontent, I remember #Mastodon and find my way back. It’s like a warm, cozy, blanket.. Even if it’s been a minute.

    Exciting news forthcoming. In the meantime here’s something #funny I came across..

    “If I told you I saw a cage match in someone's front yard where half of the house had been torn down and the pool was filled with algae, you'd probably think I live in a pretty bad neighborhood.”

  24. The Rented Crowd: Nero’s Five Thousand, the Paris Claque, and the Box That Laughed for America

    For the better part of two decades, the laughter of the United States lived inside a padlocked box. Charles Rolland Douglass, a CBS sound engineer who had spent the war helping the Navy develop shipboard radar, built the device in the early 1950s and guarded it the way a sexton guards a reliquary. The laff box, as he called it, stood a little over two feet tall and worked like an organ: keys for titters, chortles, belly laughs, shrieks, a foot pedal to let a wave of mirth swell, crest, and die on command. Douglass wheeled it from studio to studio himself. Clients heard the output and never saw the mechanism. Only his immediate family knew what the inside looked like, and when he finally stepped back from the work, his sons carried the trade forward like a guild secret. The industry word for what he did was sweetening, which tells you the industry understood the product. Sugar is what you add when the thing itself goes down easier disguised. […]

    now you understand the real purpose behind goosing #perfectionism on the #left to suppress #leftist turnout in the #vote

    it is artificially manufactured noise for a #psyop

    show me someone upset at Platner's sins, moved to not vote, resulting in a GOP win and all the green lights for Israel to #genocide more, and i'll show you a patsy manipulated by #Likud #trolls

  38. I have no idea what to make of today, really.

    Our pinned post on Facebook got shared into a DID fake claiming group of some kind and so the page is crawling with trolls. A new notification pops up every few minutes.

    It doesn’t get to me a lot of the time, but for now I wish these people would just leave well enough alone.

    corporate #socialMedia is about making money

    this has two terrible effects:

    1. #moderation is a cost center for them. if you want to make money, you want to cut costs. therefore, it's cheaper for them to say "freeze peach!", decimate the #mod dept, and let #bigotry and #disinfo run wild

    2. we say "don't feed the #trolls" but the unfortunate human baseline behavior is that controversy drives clicks, eyeballs, engagement. therefore, bigots and disinfo is *profitable*
