I'd like to make a couple of suggestions, if that's okay.
First, start thinking about how to protect the thing that fate has given you. Be safe. Be armored. Be resistant. What you learn and do, others will copy to their benefit.
Second, start thinking about how to build new tools or infrastructure to allow others in MAPWorld an easier time getting to the social and emotional place you are in right now. If you build, others will use what you've built to their benefit.
Be safe, be quiet, speak in whispers, build in the dark. Keep hiding from those who hate us, but hide like a ninja rather than a rat. :)
If you're going to make guides, can you do something for us? Remember that we're shit-pants scared. Anything you say/write will be met with some level of skepticism. There will be people who "write off" what you write as theory or aspirational writing. They'll say to themselves, "this is what Violet thinks is possible and what we should be doing."
Don't let them say that to themselves. Pound your shit into our heads by continually writing about how what you'll talk about has actually played out for you in practice. Do whatever you can to get people to say to themselves, "Violet's actually done this shit and she's actually successfully living in the manner that she's writing about. This is NOT theory, this is fucking practice."
This seems like the makings of something nice and useful.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose You will not get collaborations without identifying common cause, and the major demographic groups sharing common cause. This is where everything resulting from a group of friends who thought an idea was "cool" fails.
Niche information also has its own unique servicing and maintenance costs, which must be met with unpaid intellectual labor. The more of it you produce, the more work it is to maintain.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose I would suggest 1. You start with Zoos, as they are the major demographic group sharing your invalidation. Be discerning about who is invited - [validity discourse = ban]
2. State that you are building an information resource that describes each invalidated group or identity from a neutral standpoint, pooling all of the information available so it can be ordered according to its importance and presented in one place.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose 3. Be willing to put in the work to show you have a viable concept. One of you needs to have writing skills and know wikitext, at the very least. Get others to promote it on that basis, i.e. because it is providing them with VALUE for their time investment, in other words, PLATFORM without censorship.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose I recently had a look over what is available in terms of Zoophile information resources. And it's really poor, because everywhere someone tries to produce an article, they get validity policed to extinction.
There is one Zoophile Wiki, and it is barely edited. But loads of Zoophiles getting shit on repeatedly and censored by social media fandoms.
That is the kind of population you should be willing to work with.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose If you want to blog about transids (including those that look like 4chan memes), then do it, but at least have some breadth of coverage and underpinning common cause beyond what goes inside your clique.
@arisudotexe @Relic @GavinPrynne @violet_rose I absolutely use your wiki!
every minute i spend away from my community, every minute i spend not fighting for our liberation, feels like a minute wasted
