"The thing about illegally breeding fire-breathing possums is that you gotta keep a bucket of water handy."

*Those fools! Fire-breathing possums are greasy; water will only feed the flames! Oh, if only I could tell them of my empire...*

Standard social media posts per platform:

fb:

flying into LAX, then onward to pizza! 😂 Good sunrise.

twitter:

5000 women protest but this clown still thinks he's worth listening to. What a wanker.

mastodon:

Many of us have made it here from twitter. This is a good thing, in the long run.

But in the short run, we need to accept that we have not yet acclimatised to this new culture. We need to stop, listen, observe.

Old friends, please understand why the longtime inhabitants of this little patch of cyberspace are finding this hard right now, be patient, and learn the #etiquette.

New friends, please have patience with us on our learning journey. We are just a little overenthusiastic in our excitement to meet you. See us as children who need your kindness and guidance. We'll get there. We will.

tumblr:

okay so I keep seeing how lots of new people are joining from other platforms and so that's why they don't know to reblog or not to repost unattributed or

and I just want to point out:

that is bullshit

you LEARN your culture. you LEARNED a freaking alphabet! you can LEARN to do this.

edit: I've been reminded that in many languages, people don't use an alphabet. I could try to smart-alek it and say nearly everyone has to learn English in practice, because that's colonialism for ya, but no, hands up, I fucked up. I'm sorry. If you wanna help fund victims of colonisation, here are some links to a few relevant creators' top surgery funds.

edit#2: please please PLEASE stop with the notes saying "this is how you ally" and stuff like that. It's making it all about me, and that's NOT what I was going for with this, at ALL. It's causing misunderstandings and a lot of upset. thank you.

edit #3: you know what I'm just going to delete this.

mumsnet:

Has anyone else noticed a flood of recent posts that feel out of step with the culture of the site? I don't want to point fingers, but if you've seen them you may know what I'm talking about. I'm not sure what to do about them. It seems a bit much to report them, but at the same time, I don't believe all of these people are parents, and I think there's a chance some might (might!) be teenagers on their holidays. Maybe some of you saw that "milf poll" before it got taken down, that's the sort of thing I mean. Aibu?

reddit:

Hey man I don't want to scare you but if your family don't support you, they're kind of telling you they hate the person you actually are. I know that sounds strong but it *is* a big deal. It's not going to get better, but it can get a whole lot worse. Have you looked into young person emancipation options? Taking away your internet access is a form of abuse; it's what they do to political prisoners. You were smart to get an alternative way to access the net, and you're lucky to have a friend willing to help. And remember, you do have friends here, too. If you need somewhere to crash, I'm sure there are lots of people here who can offer you a space on the couch! Hell, you can use mine. If you're near Seattle, my discord handle is sparkleprincess. Stay safe.

Ovarit:

I identify as a cat and my pronouns are me/ow! I require constant feeding and headscratches or I'll report you to the police! 😼

spinster:

bill gAtes, elon Musk, fauci: hey Mr space"man"! We see you! We know you're just trying to go home! Take the MINDcontrol with you #plandemic

Feel free to add or edit, I was just drafting to myself in a txt file and thought fanspace denizens might find it funny.
