Why would you want a racist, anti-Semitic, white supremacist to return to the fediverse? The last screenshot literally said they would “ban negros, reverse the civil rights act, ban Judaism, and nuke Ukraine and Russia.” We should not be welcoming someone with those views into our spaces.

I guess the cat’s out of the bag. People have been asking what happened to MAP Merch Shop. We lost our payment processor again. And our Chief Financial Officer had to leave the venture due to personal reasons.
We are seeking a new Chief Financial Officer to be in a partnership with me to run MAP Merch Shop under a licensing agreement. You would be joining an established brand with a loyal customer base, product designs ready to go, and distribution agreements in place.
Qualifications:
- An established, trusted member of the MAP or para community in good standing. You will be heavily vetted.

- Experience running a business preferred.
- Experience with setting up and running crypto payments preferred.
You would be starting a new business, and would need these things:
- A dedicated bank account
- A business license and/or tax number (depending on your location)
- A Signal Messenger account
Your responsibilities would include:
- Initial setup of business. (I will help you as much as I can)
- Managing all financial accounts.

- Paying commissions.
- Maintaining communication with our payment processor, distributors, and vendors, to ensure the business runs smoothly.
Risks:
- Being SSN banned from using payment providers.

Beer is gross, but beer bread, and beer battered fish are good. I’ll occasionally drink a “cheerleader beer” like Smirnoff Ice or a Mikes Hard.

Apparently the US government is planning to offer a VPN. That certainly raises some red flags. This video also talks about some of the other surveillance software being used on websites and their links to ICE. The internet is becoming a dystopia for privacy.

But gift card payments require fewer steps than cashing out crypto.
And a manual order with a gift card wouldn't automatically transfer to the distributor, so it wouldn't wipe out the reserve funding.

When I was in charge of MMS, I wanted the site to run with minimal intervention. I was operating on very low reserve funding, and didn't have the executive function or the patience to babysit the site to make sure a crypto order didn't wipe out our funding source in distributor costs.

We started accepting gift cards by email due to popular demand. Many people prefer that over entering their info on the site.

I had it setup to accept XMR for awhile. Only a few people used it, and it confused people who didn't want to use crypto. And it was a pain in the ass to manually cash out for fiat, because the crypto wallet doesn't interface with a crypto exchange.
I think the new owner of MMS is interested in adding crypto sometime down the line. Perhaps she can find a better solution, or would be willing to deal with the headache of manually cashing out.

2025-12-23 00:34:50 UTC

- reply

I wish the price were lower, but our distributors and the Trump tariffs determine the costs. I cut it down to a minimum markup. The distributor recommended selling them for $150.
So you can always purchase a prepaid gift card for the exact amount. That way, you're not risking your whole bank account.
Some people don't even put their names on orders, opting for something generic like "Valued Customer."
Unfortunately, I don't know a good way to not include a shipping address.

I posted that as a bit of a passive aggressive rant about people arguing contact discourse, when the issue of contact is so far away from being relevant. There’s so many more things in society and our movement that need to happen before contact discourse becomes relevant. I don’t understand why people focus so much on it.

“Children should be allowed to live their lives as they wish.“

2025-11-07 22:34:33 UTC

I’m gonna be candid with y’all. I’ve been very stressed these last few months, with all the antis targeting me. This has been amplified by my chronic health issues. I’ve spent nights crying over voice calls with other MAPs. I’ve contemplated walking away from the MAP community, giving up on all the activism I’ve done and have planned. I’ve contemplated offing myself to be over it all. And had it not been for my mom, I probably would have done it by now. I can’t bear the thought of taking away my mom’s only child. But that reason to stay alive is getting harder to uphold.
I’ve gotten so much empathy, support, and forgiveness from the MAP community. People offering their time. People saying they appreciate what I do. People saying they admire my integrity. People saying my blog helped them accept themselves. All of this encouragement is what keeps me going, and I thank you all for that. You don’t know how much it means to me.
I seen Lecter’s post about Ozzy, taking their own life due to the harassment and abuse by antis. My first reaction, without even thinking is “✊🏻 This is why we fight!” And that’s the right reaction. We’ve come too far to give up now. This community has come too far to give up. Too many of our people are dying because of the systemic abuse we receive from society. We can’t roll over when we face injustice. I’ll do my damndest to make sure none of these deaths are in vain. I’m not going anywhere. We fight on! ✊🏻

I’m in the Apple walled garden. I don’t think there’s a Jailbreak for my iPad, so there is no pirating to my knowledge.

How do y’all get smooth lines on your digital drawings? Are you on a computer with mouse, are you using a Wacom-like device, are you on a tablet or iPad with a stylus? What software are you using? Is it raster or vector? Are you drawing freehand, or clicking and adding points with a pen tool? Are you using a predictive line feature to help smooth the lines?
I’m on an iPad with Apple Pencil using a raster app called Sketch-up. It has predictive line, which works well. But when I don’t use it, I just can’t get the precision I get with analog pencil and paper.
What are you all using? Do I need to invest in Procreate?

Another thing that's sus, I right-clicked to attempt to go into the code inspector, but right-clicking seems to have been disabled.
In the code inspector, it shows a Twitter handle. When viewing on Twitter, the account has no posts, no bio, and no picture, and was created in May 2025.
The code also links to a site called schema dot org, which looks to be some kind of AI knowledge bank.
The word "fellowship" is used on the site. That's a word I use frequently on my sites, and I think it might be used by B4U-ACT, but I rarely see others using it. I'm wondering if this was generated by AI that scraped from my sites or B4U-ACT. It almost seems like a rewrite of the MEDAL mission statement.
The code also has a script for Google Tag Manager, which is used for Google analytics and advertising. I don't know much about Google Tag Manager, and if it could be exploited to track users. It very well could be a legitimate use case.
Delving deeper, there is an IP logging script. That is an extreme red flag for this type of site.

"they keep making bad decisions."
That's insulting to so many hardworking people. My generation was promised the American dream. Just go to college, get an education and we'd be set. But then we had economic recessions, that put us out of work. Crippling student debt. The cost of living increasing while our wages remain stagnant. That's unsustainable. My grandpa put in a good 30 years with his company, and was able to retire in his early 60s, and was set for life. My parents worked into their 60s, and they seem to be doing ok. When I was working, I was full-time, yet I didn't make enough to save. I was living paycheck to paycheck. Had I not gotten sick, I would have never been able to retire. And now I'm worried, because I can't work, and Trump's Project 2025 plans to dismantle social security and medicare... both of which I paid into.

Is anyone else stressed about the upcoming US election? It's statistically tied.
If Kamala wins, it's a bright future for our country and the world. Sunshine and rainbows. Peace, love, and progress.
But if Trump wins, we all lose. It's constant chaos. It's the end of democracy. It's rounding up immigrants into concentration camps and deporting them. Hopefully, that's the worst he would do to them. It's a national sales tax and loss of the labor force that will put us into an economic depression. It's the lack of bodily autonomy. It's the military being deployed against US citizens. It's a volatile imbecile with his finger on the nuclear button.
The gravitas of another Donald Trump presidency is sobering. I've had pain in my chest for the last few weeks.

I agree with a lot of what you said there. My problem isn't with his contact stance. It's that he's so obnoxious about it, and that he won't accept incremental steps that would likely bring us closer to his goal. I honestly think the person is a troll, but apparently the site admins disagree, as they've promoted him to senior member. 🤦🏼‍♀️

There's this user on one of the MAP forums who really annoys the shit out of me. Like, this dude only thinks with his dick. Every post he makes has something to do with wanting to have sex with children. It's like this person is exhibiting every trope that antis and society think about MAPs.
I shared my post about why Kamala Harris is the best candidate for the children we love. He's like "But she doesn't support sex with children."
Motherfucker, find me a viable candidate who does. I'll wait. You ain't gonna find one. That's the only issue this person cares about. Even though Kamala Harris isn't going to legalize sex with children, she's gonna do a lot of cool things. Vote for the candidate that gets you closer to the future you want. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Same thing... I posted The Simple List awhile back. The Simple List has a lot of progressive and achievable goals, without being divisive on contact stance. The Simple List isn't meant to be an exhaustive list of things that one can support. One can simultaneously support other goals too. But this motherfucker is like "No I don't support all these good, progressive goals for The MAP Community, because it doesn't legalize sex with children."
It's just so fuckin irritating. This kind of mindset is part of what holds the community back. Think with your other head, dude.
