Site is unfortunately still up and they're pushing their "moving company" angle harder — including a USDOT number registered by them as well as insurance for moving objects, but not people. So they're not legally insured if they try relocating any trans person.

1: that comment wasn't directed at you

If you think that's a real solution, you haven't been listening to teachers. Get off of Fox News and listen to something that isn't blatant propaganda.

Vincent @visrl.bsky.social · Sep 10

You're making a lot of assumptions about a still unknown shooter. The party of murderers are the republicans who thought — before an hour ago — that gun violence was okay if they got to jerk off to their AR-15 every night. You don't care about kids dying in schools, but you care about this assclown?

Charlie Kirk: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment”
No, but he did say it's fine that gun deaths happen so people can have guns... 🤷‍♂️

It is 10000000% a scam. Have looked into it myself.

Be aware of the scam that targets people in vulnerability

Name : "Nexus Moving Company"

They claim to be LGBTQIA friendly, yet there is evidence that the company isn't authorised to engage in interstate. Address points to nowhere. High chance of scam.

Vincent @visrl.bsky.social · Aug 31

I looked into these people extensively and they are 100% a scam. I have a background in OSINT and I conducted an in depth investigation sometime ago. They have no idea what they are doing & are causing harm to the community.

This entire narrative pushed by the far right of an "epidemic of trans violence" is completely bullshit.

It's propaganda designed to stoke hatred and incite violence against trans people while building support for policies designed to eradicate our community.

No, there is not an 'epidemic' of shootings by trans people

There's still no evidence trans people commit more violence than others, experts say, despite online claims of an 'epidemic' of trans attacks.

Tangentially frustrated by those who haven't developed the skills to be in the industry but insist on using the title. "Fake it till you make it" doesn't really work in tech.

"Ew I stepped in shit" meme where the character is looking at the "shit" on their shoe. Text reads: "Backend web developer who only uses HTML/CSS/JS."

Big Tech wants your subscription payments, not your success.
I want you to succeed. With a collaborative process, I will build what you need without overcharging or subscription costs, on a sliding-scale that meets your budget.

OMG! I still have the pic of mine too!

Building a decentralized news webapp for indie journalists to share their stories free of censorship and state media control. Content will be mirrored, cached, and distributed across multiple nodes without a single point of failure to bring the whole thing crashing down at once. #IndieJournalism

It’s official: domain secured, name locked in — Cacophony Press is real.
Independent news, built to be owned. Next up: hosting decisions (still eyeing options beyond AWS).

"Coming Soon" page will be live on the domain within 24 hours!

The name for my independent news app is locked in. Domain secured. Branding in motion.

And it’s killing me not to share it yet.
All I’ll say: when you see it, you’ll know why it had to be this name.

Already planned: community-led bias meters + fact-checking.
What features would you want to see?

I’m building an app for independent journalists + truth-seekers.

#Censorship is tightening, and access to real, unfiltered #news is shrinking. I don’t want to wait until it’s gone, I’m building the alternative now.

Sliding-scale pricing means small businesses, grassroots orgs, queer projects, and folks starting over online all get access without being bled dry.

Latest developments from Spyteware Studio. I didn't go quiet, have just been quietly building.

Spyteware Studio @spyteware.studio · Aug 15

At Spyteware Studio, I've been building a private messaging server designed around safety and community.

Debating on fleshing this out into a full production-scale app. Hoping some other #privacy enthusiasts (and maybe the #development crowd) will weigh in.

Here's what I'm working with:

So sick of people thinking that trans rights are solely a political issue that you don't have to care about if you're not trans. Trans rights are human rights. Have we seriously not read the poem by now?
