Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel...feel so paper thin? Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
JUMPSCARE.
GET THAT THING OUT.

Reminder that I never asked for the previous zine to carry on, the ex admins never bothered ti to contact me.
This is nothing more but plagiarism now and having it run on life support.
Why keep doing this?
Why do you feel the need to run this further into the ground?
Why is this user particularly allowed to roam free when they and their freinds are actively going out of their way to hurt others and are not being held accountable for it?
How many more out there, will get hurt by them, till something has to give?
I get drama that is not pleasant, but by not doing anything, they will hurt more people and further damage the fandom space.
I'm not the only one who has been hurt by these people, and I wouldn't be sat here today otherwise in trying to warn others if I didn't feel that strongly about this whole situation.
If they had just let this go, owned up to the trouble they have caused, then this would not have needed to happen.
I want this to end and to just move on, I'm still recovering from covid, this has been nothing but a headache and putting my mental health on the line and likely putting others in stress because the ex admins have no care in the world at this point in what they are doing.
I'm tired, I'm so tired of this twisted circus and clout seeking because they don't understand the word "no".
This was a simple matter, boot out that one user out and ban them from spaces and make sure this would never happen again, or at the least, make a new zine from scratch and bobs ye uncle.
It's that simple, because this is not what I wanted, I never wanted to see this zine burn in front of my eyes because of one petty arse out there, but here I am, watching it suffer further.
So again, I urge folks to warn others, do not engage with them or the other admins though.
And know that I never wanted this to happen, the zine was supposed to be about care and love, not a burning shit whole.
They can go around lying all they want, they can try and hide what they have done under the rug, but it'll mean nothing.
Despite my body under so much stress, having an ambulance here last night, I'll still fight, I will fight to the bitter end if I have to.
That's how much that zine meant to me, you gained nothing from this, only karma for fcking people like me over and not in the good way, mind you.
So...

Lets create a house where yelling means we’re having fun. When you hear a door slam you know it was accidentally pulled with too much strength, not slammed out of anger. When there is silence, it is Contentment, not another passive aggressive fight. The dog is no longer barking to protect, he simply just wants the cats to play with him. Let’s create a safe, warm environment that makes you feel like you can breathe, not hold your breath. Let’s stomp on the eggshells we use to tip toe on. Together we will make this house into a home. And welcome all with open arms into this kind and loving space.

Its absolutely no coincidence that the people being sent baseless sexual assault accusations against predstrogen have, from what I've seen, been young transmascs.
The terfs behind the harassment campaign are so brazenly trying to prey on anybody they reckon might have any transmisogynist tendencies and are trying to use that to sow discord in the trans community. They see transmasculine people as potential avenues for recruitment (and eventual detransition) and it's extremely fucking important that the people being sent these anons do not fall headfirst for the bait. They want you to go 'uh oh, guess trans women are sex pests after all' and that to stick with you and fester, and turn that seed of prejudice into the continued harm of transfem people.
If you want to be a meaningful ally to transfem people right now you have to be vigilant for this shit, and correct it where you see it. If you think being used as an angle of recruitment by bigoted harassment is gross, imagine how it would feel to be the damn focus of the harassment.

The young men in our study were between the ages of 14 and 17 from families with low incomes and lived in high-crime neighborhoods. They were split into three groups. The first group received money on reloadable gift cards every week. The second group was offered an after-school program and received money on a gift card as long as they attended the first few sessions. The third group served as a comparison or “control,” and participants were able to take advantage of the programming after the completion of the study.
When asked about how they spent the money they had received, participants reported a variety of expenses. Some spent it on personal items and entertainment like clothes, video games, and activities such as amusement parks. Others reported using the money for necessities, such as helping out a parent with groceries or fixing a car. Some participants reported that they saved the money to reach goals such as purchasing a car or helping their family move out of their neighborhood and purchase a house.
Receiving the cash transfer alone led to an increase in healthy behaviors. Participants who received the cash transfer were less likely than the control group to do things like drink alcohol, use marijuana, take prescription medication without a prescription, be in a physical fight, carry a weapon, or use a vapor product. Some participants said they felt the extra money helped them to perform better in school by allowing them to buy supplies, and others felt that the cash alone helped reduce crime. We also found that the cash transfer plus programming improved the financial health of participants, which may be because the after-school programming included financial education.
Beyond the benefits of the cash, the young men who were offered and attended the after-school program noted that having a safe, neutral space to go after school helped them stay away from the violence in their neighborhoods.

Hey, wait! Please stop scrolling for a sec!
Please bear with me and read to the end! I promise it'll be worth it.
My name is Nexys, and I am queer and disabled. For years I have been striving to create the most tight-knit safe space (that's ACTUALLY safe) on the internet, using content creation as common ground. And we're really starting to take off!
But I need your help. Please reblog this post so that I may meet new people and make new friends! My community has been lifechanging, both to myself and to the people within it. I really feel like my Twitch, YouTube, and Discord communities have been making a difference in the lives of some of the most disadvantaged and marginalized people in the LGBT and neurodiverse communities.
We often play games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and Pokémon, with the occasional challenges and other genres thrown in. Sometimes we even invite our chat to play the games with us! So if this sounds like the sort of community you'd be interested in, please join our Discord Server so you don't miss out!
I'm a small creator, and due to my disabilities cannot hold down a normal 9-5 job, so any support and engagement from you—time or money—is a lifechanging opportunity that could potentially alter the course of my life and the lives of my loved ones. Even just dropping in to say hello would mean the world to me!
But I know time is a precious resource, so if you're too busy to sit in with us but still want to support the cause, for as little as $1/month you can become a Patron! And depending on the tier you choose, there may even be some free artwork and other fun perks in it for you!
Thank you so much for your time! Me and my community really hope to meet you, and we hope that you, dear reader, have a fantastic rest of your day/night! Happy Pride!
❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤🤎
