11 Threaded Spouts
I'm still not convinced this is the place for ALL disabled people - only because so many need sex worker income to survive.
But if I was making a bet?
In terms of freedom & safety, it's Spoutible, Hive & some Mastodon instances with diverse leadership, as far the home for Twitter refugees.

Some say "it's just Twitter" - congrats on your privilege?
I guess?
But the rest of us who are freelancers, entrepreneurs, activists, advocates, community leaders, artists, writers, disabled, journalists & others who need ways for our communities to brush others need... Something.

Peace out, y'all. I'm not on this platform anymore.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyNo, but @courtneymilan is more than welcome to start a social media platform and write the terms of service and policies however she likes. But the policy isn't changing, nor is it being rewritten. Spoutible will not please everyone, but thankfully there are other options for those who aren't happy.05:49 PM - Feb 19, 2023

Supposed liberals asking why the TOS language is an issue: MeToo isn't over, queer bodies and lifestyles are being attacked on the merits of parts parts daily, media that contains an iota of intimacy, including network TV shows, romance novels, and even YA books focusing on bodies, are bannable.

Since anger and vitriol seems to have followed many of us over from the shitty bird site, here is a quokka to brighten your timeline.

For those who don’t know, I’m one of the first two women to go on the record with my real name about sexual harassment from Alex Kozinski, the former Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit.
It’s not just the romance—I think a lot about the ways we *need* to talk to have hard but necessary discussions.

For those of you wanting to "move on" from the discussion about site policies relating to adult content, I hope you remember that SW and LGBTQ+ people don't get to just "move on" from a society that still marginalizes or rejects them every day. Please don't do that to them here.
01:17 PM - Feb 19, 2023
All I’m asking people to understand is that you can prohibit adult content with clear language where the answer to someone’s question of “can I post this?” is not “just post it and see if you end up getting banned!”
12:45 PM - Feb 19, 2023
Whatever you think of adult content on this site directly, this is not good language, it’s not good policy, and it is extremely fixable. @cbouzy I am happy to help try to come up with a policy that provides clear guidance, meets general aims of external bodies, while preserving necessary discussion.
11:55 AM - Feb 19, 2023
I don’t think the people who wrote the policy thought about the ways people talk about sex. Are we are going to argue whether HBO’s GOT is more rapey than the book series? Are we gonna discuss if that one sex scene in Bridgerton is a rape? Can I screenshot a court case about harassment?

Y’all please don’t tell people who are wondering whether this site is going to pull a Tumblr and make it impossible to talk about the thing they do for a living that they’re “just getting mad” because we “want to make controversy.”
No. We’re trying to figure out if we want to invest time here.

I asked these questions from the beginning. And was attacked. The site has set itself up on the straight hetero norm with the usual narrow behavior guidelines of what is offensive. And predictably some LGBTQ people were caught in that net.

Oh, I love satin and velvet and that really really high end linen That’s all cloudy soft, need more room in my life for these things.

Tired of feeling like an afterthought to everyone in my life. Like I'm just here to give and give whatever they need and accept it. Sucks.

This morning, I wanted to feel like a spoiled lil hobbit bc it's been kinda rough lately!! so I made fresh bread, brewed coffee, baked lemon cakes, stewed a hearty Greek green bean and potato dish (Fasolakia Lathera) with dill meatballs, and roasted a big pile of vegetables and--

Hoping to see Spoutible introduce some kind of muting function in the future, that's one of the things Twitter did right imo. Some people react super weirdly to being blocked.

OH MY GOD THIS IS WHY I HAD TO GIVE UP DECOUPAGE. I just COULD NOT with the waiting around for things to dry before moving on. Absolutely Miserable.

I just found the account settings to limit which kinds of people can reply to tweets and I actually really like them. I don't want to implement most of them at this point because the site is so new, but I can see these being a help.

waste time fucking around with some ill-conceived shortcut ideas before finally just doing what the fuck you were supposed to in the first place

I just tabulated how many words I wrote and then threw away on this book and let me tell you, do not do this to yourself. Stay in ignorance. Pretend they don't exist.
(Also no, I can't save them for another book. If they were any good, I wouldn't have deleted them.)

I wish we could make people on Instagram and TikTok who waste food making disgusting concoctions to garner clicks and likes spend time volunteering at soup kitchens.
