Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Thank you Inanna for the gift of intuition
I stopped at a Dunkin' Donuts for the first time in over a decade, a few days ago on one of my Get Things Done days, had a wave of "Leave Now" wash over me, & drove on to another restaurant

Let me elaborate:
Trump & Musk have given access to classified info & sensitive personal information from dozens of US Federal Agencies & Departments to a KiwiFarmer who also ran criminal businesses to extort people and "graduated" from an org notorious for trafficking CSAM
Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真) (@lizthegrey.com):
he's not a Kiwi Farmer per se, he tried to shake down KF, and then cussed them out when they wouldn't pay out and/or when they doxxed him. bsky.app/profile/lizt...
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Thank you ^_^
I never thought I'd use the phrase "Worse Than A KiwiFarmer", but here we are

I talk with a bunch of Reddit moderators who make rapid decisions on toss-up questions like "Will comments or posts containing these names be considered doxxing?", and our gold standard for this round was "Were the names published in Wired?".
Credible Journ*lism Matters
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The discussion we had 3 days ago included moderators spanning several dozen subreddits, representing 300 million+ subscribers, & we wanted absolute assurance that the names were newsworthy. We were planning to fight government censorship in case Reddit was compelled by the Trump DOJ to action.

Donald Trump has allowed Kiwifarms & neoNazis to access all the classified information of multiple federal departments and organisations, including your Social Security

Kiwifarms is known to the FBI to be an Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism (IMVE) group. The DoJ had sealed searches of the online accounts of its leader. He never would have cleared a background check or be granted a security clearance.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I guess they figured that The Internet Is Forever wouldn't apply to them.
And it's becoming clearer and clearer that Kiwifarms is the GOP's Sturmabteilung recruitment camp

About five-ish years ago, some of the Tankies on Reddit decided to try to make hay out of criticism of their hatred of Uighyurs, in Defense Of The Honour of Communism (or whatever), and tried to make it personal, and when they did that, I shredded the dude who tried to take point. Shortly after …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
, their subreddit did a complete about-face on allowing their audience to use a racist slur to refer to the Uighyur, and lost the privilege of username pings, and consequently stopped being On My Radar as hateful & harassing

Also… we know "dinosaurs" as we knew them in the 90s technically never existed, right???
(@cocoisgold.bsky.social):
Pls explain
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The rules paleontologists followed to reconstruct dinosaurs - muscles, fat, skin, feathers (and lack thereof) - produced dinosaur reconstructions that look a lot like Jurassic Park, but later evidence shows they look more like turkeys and ostriches and Big Bird and etc
(@cocoisgold.bsky.social):
So wth happened? People were just making it up?? 😩😩😩😩😩
So birds were the real dinos all along 💀

Tiny Brontosaurus (@tinybronto.bsky.social):
that is really overstated and in any case would only apply to avian dinosaurs. there's no evidence that most dinos were fully feathered like modern birds. some of them may have had quills or protofeather patches, but imagining giant chickens is just as wrong as shrink-wrapped nudist dinos
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
the last time I read the literature on it was 1998? and then I had a bunch of other stuff happen,so I'm grateful for more info!

They were working with the best info / knowledge they had at the time; fat & muscle doesn't fossilise & skin & feathers often don't, either. They have to examine where tendons connect to bone to deduce what the muscles were like.
But yeah, modern birds are descended from dinosaurs

Got blocked for a very reasonable fact check on anti trans athlete propaganda. These people do not want to learn facts about this issue.
Katelyn Burns (@katelynburns.com):
Idk why this would prompt a block. I was not rude or insulting. I just explained the context of the video she posted.
Obscurem (@obscurem.bsky.social):
I'm not condoning her behavior, but I may have an explanation: Rachel Bitecofer believes Dems lost because Republicans demonized trans people. She's a cynic who believes winning is more important than facts. She'd rather have trans people safe than truth. That defending trans is for after winning.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I have a different hypothesis: She hates transgender people. (She's subscribed to some blocklist I've been put on, and the blocklists I've been put on are made by either cranks and/or transphobes)

my wife is planning to move out & we're probably going to separate because that's easier for her than working on an open relationship.
this convo happened after she came home last night & told me she made out with her ex who is a cis woman.
i'm exhausted & also relieved? i don't know.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
she had asked to close our relationship for a bit & then did this so that already was not a great sign.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
this account lowkey feels kinda too big now for me to diary post like this idk i might delete it tomorrow. i'm going to go play dragon age veilguard & cry & drink la croix now tho 💔
Talan (@talan-rosen.bsky.social):
Veilguard was a disappointment IMO. Not a proper Dragon Age game. So dumbed down. It's alright for a mindless play through though, like a mobile game.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
can you not fricking do this g*mer culture war bullshit in my replies right now? like come on frick off i didn't open the floor for you to rant about how you think its woke for elves to have pronouns or whatever the frick lmfao
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
like seriously, if your first fricking response to this thread is to immediately start rage masturbating about a video game i mentioned offhand, you are a massive fricking loser.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
whenever you eventually die no one will remember you had a cringe opinion on a video game that came out in 2024. mostly that will be because no one will remember you, but whatever.
fix your shit-stained heart, nerd.
Talan (@talan-rosen.bsky.social):
Wow talk about going off over nothing. It was a comment on a games quality ffs.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
did you even read the rest of my post or did you just see the word "veilguard" & start sharting yourself?
Talan (@talan-rosen.bsky.social):
When i had posted what I said it was only in response to the post about veilguard, I did not know there was previous posts. The name calling has been a great help in keeping this a civil conversation..
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
A civil conversation would be premised upon a recognition that one's interlocutor is a human being under intense emotional stress, whose stress valve is the very game you were intent on bashing in her mentions, and then not hitting "Reply" on, instead hitting "Cancel", at minimum
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Having failed that step (because we're all human, we all make mistakes), noticing that the responses aren't accompanied by ❤️ and are instead accompanied by the spicy version of "where's the fettucine?", might be another clue that civility failed close to home
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I don't know if you're aware, but it is factually possible to write "I fricked up, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you and I retract what I said" without bursting into a ball of flames or consigning your soul to an eternity of torment in Heck
