“It was fun,” she agreed, heart pounding away, adrenaline still pumping. “Fuck, I just…wish we could have done more. Jesus, you’ve turned me into a criminal.”
He laughed, quietly, and took her hands, pulled her gloves off for her. Oh, she was in love with him, wasn’t she? Yeah. She smiled down at their hands, then back up at him. He gave her a half-grin, handed her the gloves, and peered out past her once more.
“Let’s wait a minute,” he said. “Fuck the cops.”

Commission for the lovely, lovely @sindirimba, a scene from For Roses, Too! An absolute delight to illustrate one of my favorite fics, I tell you 💗

oh my god he does. he's like matthias if he was english. EERIE. thank you for this startling information.

just aspirated some nutritional yeast. they were right, veganism really is unhealthy.

i blocked someone in the notes on that track for mentioning rick and morty. if you're wondering how petty i am about blocking.

the thing about cunt as an insult is that i don't like it but also in my experience on this dark earth it's absolutely the most pointless argument to try to have and you know, i use bitch as an insult too, i'm not perfect. so what everrrr.

an appalling number of marginalized people in this upcoming generation appear to be under the impression that saying they're "reclaiming" a slur gives them a free pass to use that slur in a derogatory way towards other marginalized people in their communities that they dislike or think are annoying. maybe it's just the people i've had the misfortune of encountering in the wild, but it's getting bleak out there, folks.

like the other day i encountered some cunt using the fucking R slur to refer to an autistic person stimming in a way they found annoying, and when confronted about their ableism, they replied, "oh, i have ADHD, i can reclaim it." and it's like, no, you jackass, you absolutely the fuck cannot! that is not what that means! if the way you use a word is indistinguishable from the way a fucking nazi would use that word, then you're not "reclaiming it" anymore, you dumb bastard!!! you're just using it the same way the damn nazi does!!! shut the fuck up and be kinder you ass!!!

Reclaiming a slur means applying it to yourselves as a badge of honor. It needs to be used with a positive connotation. That is what reclaiming means!

If you are not talking about yourself, it is not reclamation.

If you are not talking about the group kindly, it is not reclamation.

You reclaim a word by making it from a weapon into a way to connect with your own community positively. That is what reclamation means.

So to recap

  • Pillowfort is not dead (never has been). It's just smaller. If you join it, it will be bigger!
  • Pillowfort is consistently getting new features and improvements based on user feedback
  • Pillowfort is free to join without invites. Think AO3 waitlist. You'll be ready to go in a few hours at most.
  • Pillowfort was not "made by antis" (lmao)
  • Pillowfort is completely user funded, and thus will never enshittify
  • Pillowfort allows NSFW, is sex worker friendly (as far as US law allows) and banned AI images*
  • Pillowfort does not have reblog replies, on purpose, only comments. You own and control your own posts, forever.
  • Pillowfort is planning Ask Boxes, UX improvements, better image uploading, and tons more
  • Pillowfort is not owned by a transphobic techbro douchebag
  • Pillowfort has been around for seven years, where other small social media has withered and died. Cohost came and went all within PF's lifetime.
  • Pillowfort is small. It is buggy. It has no video or audio, only Youtube embeds. It runs on 7k/month, mostly spent on moderators. They use their resources as best they can, and have built a damn resilient product for it.
  • Pillowfort is trying to build a better, sustainable internet, without venture capital tricks destroying good services. It's not impossible, just harder, and slower. Don't believe the defeatists.
  • Pillowfort is not for everybody. The only way you'll find out whether you like it is by trying it.

\*: Linking to AI images is technically allowed if tagged, but PF will never host them, no exceptions.

Do you ever read a fanfic or see fanart and you’re all like “these characters are all fictional and you’re entitled to your feelings and interpretations of them”, but at the same time you’re just like “Oh my god, this is the shittiest take on X character that I’ve seen and I’m almost offended by how wrong your portrayal is. Either you’re projecting big time or you’ve misunderstood them entirely.”
