    It’s weird how everything I find funny or interesting ends up going through trans catgirl communities.

      There’s a lot of overlap, but you can’t always be out of the cat-girl closet in academia

    Can we stop deadnaming X please. That has gone, move on. You may remember it fondly if you wish.

    Edit: I explained my rationale to bytesonbike, maybe I am wrong! I just want everyone to leave that shitty cesspool of a platform

      I’ll stop calling it by its old name when Elon starts calling his daughter by hers

      i get not wanting to call x by its old name (because people who do that sometimes do it to ignore what it has become), but don’t call this “deadnaming” please. it trivializes deadnaming and what it does.

      corporations are not people, they don’t get to have deadnames.

      When elon stops deadnaming his daughter, then his fascism propaganda shithole can stop being deadnamed too.

        Of course I do. Twitter is dead. Calling it Twitter now only enables people to keep imagining continuity when they need to leave if they were fond of what it was. Elon only profits from any cachet that name still has.
