Okay a lot of new eyes on this account so a little rundown. 💰: Hello, I’m an indie reporter. I (barely) survive off recurring support on Patreon, but I do my reporting work here. I have a pinned tweet with how to chip in:

DEVELOPING: Twitter suspends several high-profile journalists who have been covering the company and Elon Musk.

nbcnews.com

Thursday's suspensions come as Musk has backtracked on his promise that he would run Twitter as a free speech absolutist.

If their hope is to have some kind of reality where their disinfo & hatemongery are amplified, without drawing critical notice from the authorities, it’s way too late for that. I’m just a reporter documenting public activities. I’d say that’s the least of their worries.

People who engage in harassment, stalking, and doxxing are rallying around Elon Musk in hopes of suppressing their political enemies

Harassers who stalk, dox, and threaten people are trying to claim my reporting of them showing up to harass, stalk, and threaten people so folks can avoid them are jumping onto Elon’s latest hoping he’ll suspend me. Every example is newsworthy, of public interest, safety alerts.

Same thing that happened with #convoywatch: I started looking because I was interested and figured others would be too. Then interest spread until it was being covered so much I became redundant.

Anyway, hope these folks know no matter what happens to this account, I’m still a reporter, I’m going to keep reporting, & the factual realities debunking hate propaganda are going to keep debunking. I’m already seeing an uptick in disconnected spaces infogathering & monitoring.

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

Here’s how the guy claiming my reporting of a) volatile individuals b) engaging in public and newsworthy situations ~causes harm~ spent his Thanksgiving:

Looks like Oren Levy (@viralnewsnyc) has decided to spend his Thanksgiving escalating the targeted harassment his buddy @mrandyngo does against me, but with more typos and on Telegram. This is the second time he’s “fully doxxed” a member of the press to stoke harm against them.

Not only has this group stalked, harassed, and tried stoking harm against me, but they also repeatedly defame me in order to stoke their harassment, such as calling me an “antifa organizer” & claiming that reporting their public protest activities **they document** is “doxxing.”

The first screenshot is from a guy who recently posed with a headstone-shaped sign calling to “bury” me. As a result of my documentation and reporting of their public protest activities and the potential for harm their presence at things pose.

Among many other things It’s Going Down did is round up the comings and goings of far-right extremists every week. I know of nothing they ever did that would merit a suspension on this site.

No spoilers but RuPaul’s entrance endures as the most iconic character entrance of all time. This movie has the power to heal the world.

I just think more people should just calm down and watch To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar.

>“When the founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, what have you. "Liberty and justice for all", they didn't mean that.” “I can tell you one thing about them founding fathers of America.” >“What's that?” “They sure had fabulous wigs.”

They can destroy all of the things that make it less painful for queer people to exist — the books, affirming medical care, spaces to safely be queer — and they are certainly trying — but they can’t ever eradicate queerness.

Queerphobes have a really hard time accepting a lot of things but the most prominent one, imo, is no matter how hard they try erasing & eradicating queerness from society, queer people are still going to exist.

I… did not know this. Eggs were normal priced up until like a month or two ago, and then they just exploded.

Bird flu culling wiped out chicken populations. Combine it with increased prices due to the present round of corporate greed-induced inflation. I don’t know how people are surviving.

An 18-ct for $9.98. A 12-ct for $6.99. For basic, non-fancy eggs.

How the hell is a pack of eggs more than $5/dz??
