I’m mtset! I mostly use the Fediverse from Mastodon but beehaw specifically is special enough to get its own account from me.

Sure, but “our city handles homelessness poorly” isn’t a good argument for not improving public transit either!

Eeh? I’m a woman, I don’t have this problem on transit at all, either in Chicagoland or in SF. First of all, witnessing open drug use isn’t, like, the end of the world; it might make you uncomfortable, but it’s not dangerous.

Being harassed is a real fear, but I find that I’m more often harassed while I’m just walking around than in a bus, train, or the muni, and when I’m on board transit there are cameras and an operator to potentially step in!

Public transit is a public good. If seeing poor people and drug users makes us uncomfortable, the solution is to address the root causes of poverty and addiction, not to force poor people off of public transit.

Good timing on their part; I just rejoined Tumblr in order to reconnect with some friends and this is just the push I needed to delete my account again.

Wow, yeah, that sounds like a really frustrating situation. I wish you all the luck in figuring it out.

Hi! I’m not super deep into the furry community but I do know a lot of furries and I’m in the process of getting my fursona some better-developed art, so I guess I count?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how polyamory plays into my queerness - I’m lucky enough to have significantly expanded my local chosen family since Pride in 2021, and over the last year our housing situation has gotten much more stable.

I think that I’m almost more committed to polyamory than I am to bisexuality, as a label. I certainly face more problems as a polyamorous person than as a bi one.
