I think used to be allowed as a way to say “I’m not going to respond to this person,” but I’m not sure this is still the case, does anyone know?

It was unless you are stating you are trans on here in which case the automatic teflon coating means that the person not wanting to respond is then taken as being goady and rude.

Because context matters - anyone is fair game unless you are male exhibiting some concerning behaviours.

Oops random Biscuit there - I was going to explain that the Biscuit I think used to be allowed as a way to say “I’m not going to respond to this person,” but I’m not sure this is still the case, does anyone know?

Detroit hope you’re enjoying your day Smile I’ve noticed you’ve had a few innocuous posts on other threads deleted.

Do not be disheartened! TRAs may be trying to push you out. It can feel like a pincer movement- goady posts jabbing you in the ribs, with baffling modding prodding you in the back. Hang in there, your voice is important.

Good morning, hope you're managing to get some undisturbed sleep. Have a good day.

Joisanofthedales · 25/08/2019 09:35

Have a good day Detroit. Flowers

Good morning, Detroit.

One day, we will win.

Morning Detroit (when you wake up at any rate - guess it's still the middle of the night where you are). How're things?

Today it's Patti Smith, radio Ethiopia.

My turn to be loud.

Patti might be offending some squirrels.

I love Patti.

I've been looking longingly at beautiful big houses down in West Virginia. Plenty of room for the retreat, the goats and craft rooms. We could even have a women only music and arts festival. Except that wouldn't be allowed would it. Men would legally be demanding to join in and invade our space.

LIBRARY.

Will it have snuggly warm wood burner and some chairs? Please let it.

I can also crochet. some. blankeys. for the winter.

And chop and stack wood.

I'm quite useful when I want to be.

Hyper little things. I'm quite fond of the little black squirrel, and the flying ones. The noisy little guy who lives in the tree above me also throws pine cones.

We have very noisy squirrels. They sound like a cross between a duck and a baby.

I think they are swearing.

What trans person volunteers for a women's shelter, insinuating themselves into a space they don't need to use, and put their so called right to volunteer over women's rights to dick free spaces. Not a kind, gentle empathic one.

Yes, I don't think anything more needs to be said. The Vancouver Rape Relief court case was a big peak TRA moment when I learned about it.

Oh my! A sleeping koala! I never knew dingos were so handsome! Thank you for that!

Hello Stoptheworld! I'm around for now, unless something spooks me.

Im going looking for a manual typewriter at Goodwill tomorrow. A trip to town, buy provisions. I probably should have done it today, but got lazy.

Terfton Abbey is perfect!

For a few crazy moments I wondered about joining a nunnery. I'm not Catholic. Don't like the Catholic Church and their abuses of women and children. But they may well be fully female spaces. Surely! Nope. Apparently there are trans nuns.

Well. Fuck.

Its very dark, and quiet now. I have nightmares I struggle to cope with. So I turn on the phone, bit of light helps. I sleep later in the morning when it feels safer.

I need a dog. An older dog. I can't even do that, it wouldnt be fair would it.

Hopefully Detroit is sleeping too now.

And having sweet dreams.

while the male just strutted around thinking the world centers around him 😂😂😂

I like Terfton Abbey - as long as there’s gin of course

I once knew a goat called Football. It was an evil, evil bastard.

How about we call our wished-for commune Terfton Abbey?

Good British morning to you, Detroit!
