You don’t have to like it when people you follow online fail. The problem is, social media offers a very incomplete picture. Not everyone sees the ways we hold ourselves and others accountable offline, and how we’ve changed through the years. Be uncomfortable - but remember that’s still a person.
I have hundreds of photos I could share of the New Zealand landscape, but if I had to pick ONE to represent my time there, it’s this one. This is a RAW photo from my phone - no filters, no editing. Just daytime sun and countryside. And it sounds like NZers are very passionate about keeping it safe.
I genuinely believe there are those who don’t really want accountability. Making better choices and fixing problems isn’t enough for some. It’s “too soft”. Some are too eager to punish and shame, a spectacle and a game where every wrong is equal and forever. The only winning move is not to play.
I genuinely believe there are those who don’t really want accountability. One person sent a death threat to us a few days ago admitting as such. Our failures and the ways we hold each other accountable are a game, a disgusting spectacle, for some people. Only winning move is not to play anymore.
The part that frustrates me the most is that - very often - when a major accusation is ultimately proven to be exaggerated/outright false, the people who started it simply go, “Oops! My bad” And that’s if they say ANYTHING. There is no proper closure or repair, and those who gossiped just move on.
If not an outright troll farm, there’s definitely trolling happening here; at the very least, it’s indistinguishable from it. I’ve seen multiple accounts on BlueSky that are either entirely new or haven’t posted in months or years commenting exclusively to shame us for things we’ve addressed.
Oh yeah. I’ve also had some pretty awful experiences with people like that. The most vindictive people I know also tend to have some pretty awful skeletons in their closets, too, and often unchecked: either they’re proud of them, oblivious to the harm they cause, or deliberately hiding them.
I know I usually do a lot of collab streams these days, but I still enjoy a nice long single player experience from time to time. For those who don't know, I only did solo streams for the first 6 or so years. It's nice to return to that now and then :) (Art: @gaelfox.bsky.social)
There's an obvious symbiotic relationship between the dramatubers and the angry vitriol you see on social media. What bothers me personally is just how many professional industry types feel comfortable playing within that symbiotic circle knowing they won't get their hands dirtied by it directly.
🔵Hey so I have a BILL to pay before they auction off my storage unit for a late bill I couldnt pay because I decided to pay RENT & phone bill before its turned off so Im taking commissions on stream today to pay that off! (!sale) kofi.com/Paperboxhouse twitch.tv/Paperboxhouse
It's funny how the iran war situation, a global conflict that every day further destabilizes the already precarious Global Economy, appears to currently be at a standstill because the president is cranky and just doesn't want to deal with it anymore.
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU (not including Mr. Patel) SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT
I have another “mega pokemon are x and y shaped” sized revelation about how games aren’t treated as art unless they’re artsy, and the proof is a game everyone played but misunderstood which will invite a bunch of frustration again so I’ve been kicking the video down the road due to fear of that lol
my personal trainer was showing me stretches they thought'd be difficult for me... and then I bent further than they did without a thought...... oops. they looked visibly surprised and told me they think I have hypermobility i can't help it! i'm just a bendy gal!!!! 😩
One last #NewZealand shot on the ride home for the day. Yes, there’s been deforestation evident in other shots. But from what I’ve gathered there is a lot in place that *FORCES* the government to include the People in their discussions - and the latter is using it every single chance they can get.
This ep of Masked Rider has clips of the Power Rangers going to Edenoi, which I assume is from MMPR itself? There’s a noteworthy exchange where the Power Rangers say “we come in peace, you gotta believe us!” and Masked Rider replies “I believe NO ONE.” That line alone betrays KR’s entire nature.
