Abortion; Roe v Wade; related images
I've decided to make some earrings to protest the RvW decision overturning.
The image on the left is a coat hanger earring.
The image on the right is a coat hanger earring with red paint to signify blood.
Pardon the in-ear part of the earring. Most of my earring supplies are still in boxes
These people will often not respond to any replies you have because they don't want a conversation, only to be right
If "friends" only interact with you in attempts to prove you wrong, they aren't your "friend". They are using you lift themselves up.
Note that this is not referring to people asking questions or alternative solutions, but when they try to literally just try to prove you wrong even when all you did was share an opinion
Transphobia/Genocide
I can't deal with the bird site today. Every single tweet in my feed is about the genocide of trans people.
Everyone I follow is on the same side of the argument, but it is still a constant reminder that half of the country either wants or is okay with me being killed because I'm trans.
When you're posting hashtags that contain multiple words, it's a good idea to capitalise the first letter of each word. This helps blind people who use screen reader software to know what the hashtag actually says.
For example #DogsOfMastodon is much easier for screen reader users than #dogsofmastodon, even though they're technically the same tag.
This kind of capitalisation is usually known as "CamelCase". CamelCase doesn't just help blind people, it also makes hashtags clearer for sighted people too!
Using CamelCase won't affect your post's visibility (because searches ignore capitalisation) but it will improve the post's accessibility, so you'll get more people reading it.
Thank you to @martyn for raising this topic 👍

This one is Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night.
He is one of my favorite painters of all time.

Focused hatred/suicide
I just really need to say this.
Fuck you Irenes.
Fuck you and fuck that piece of shit friend of yours who called me a rapist for saying having a pet wasn’t slavery.
Fuck you for praising them afterwards. No they don’t have a “gentle soul” they are a hateful angry person.
Fuck you for making the one community I felt welcome in toxic and unwelcoming
I nearly killed myself a year ago because of you.
FUCK YOU!!!
