PSA: Winterfox/Requires Hate/Benjanun Sriduangkaew/Maria Ying

I'm starting to see recs for Benjanun Sriduangkaew crop up in fandom again, so here's your reminder that Benjanun Sriduangkaew, aka Maria Ying, is actually Winterfox/Requires_Hate, a well-known serial harasser, blackmailer and abuser who decided that the best thing to do with her multimillionaire heiress time and money is to do real and lasting harm to many communities and many writers (especially writers of color) that she saw as rivals.

with how fast things move online right now, I imagine she's banking on people just forgetting everything she pulled: please don't! But even if you won't deny her your attention, at least keep yourself safe and remember that her modus operandi used to be either love bombing people until they let slip something she then blackmailed them with, or literally decades of unhinged harassment.

feel free to share.

“Boy, I can’t wait to read more about the Presger, I have so many questions!”

100 pages into Translation State: ✋ I have additional questions

[cosmicspaceslug]

at this point i’m depressed and just waiting for when the performative left starts yelling at Harris that she’s not self-flagellating enough after Trump wins and Stein outperforms the margin of victory in all the swing states

[cosmicspaceslug]

Watership Down would have been a shorter book if it hadn’t gone down so many rabbit holes

[cosmicspaceslug]

as someone who grew up in the 1990s white evangelical space, it's truly infuriating to see holier-than-thou performative purity used by the left (and, let's be honest, by agents of the right to manipulate the left) to deflate participation.

trump won in 2016 bc enough people in key states voted Stein instead of Clinton. bush won in 2000 bc enough people in key states voted Nader instead of Gore. we keep doing this over and over.

remember how ridiculous virginity activists sounded in high school? your vote is also not precious. your vote is your one chance to stand in the way of the greater evil, and keep people in power who won't try to grind marginalized people into dust (and just might actually do something good along the way).

in the u.s., at this moment (and frankly for the last several decades), we have a lesser-of-two-evils system. spend the next 3.25 years working to push whoever's in office further left, for [null]'s sake spend the next 3.25 years working to reform the electoral system into something more small-d-democratic, but don't elect fascists to prove your leftist bonafides

"voting makes you complicit in US war crimes"

that's not how anything works. if you live in the US, if you pay taxes, if you are using a cell phone, if you drive or ride in a car, if you own anything with a rechargeable battery, you're technically complicit in war crimes.

not voting for Harris is, in effect, a vote for Trump. (mathematically you could argue it's half a vote for Trump but that's still voting for Trump)

I heard a National Parks employee a couple weeks ago say he wasn't sure the National Park Service could survive another Trump presidency. Federal agencies across the government are racing to get money out the door before January - EPA climate justice grants. USDA grants to Black and Indigenous farmers. immigration courts are racing to process as many citizenship applications as possible before January.

They're doing this because they know what will happen if Trump is elected again. We all know. Because we've done this before. There's no "he's just saying stuff he won't actually DO anything" this time around.

Not voting does not keep your hands clean. Not voting is not a principled stand for anything. If you have the ability to vote and choose not to, you have if anything increased the amount of blood on your hands.
