I don’t have the time, money, energy, or support to implement or supervise an online community here. Therefore …
I don’t allow commenting on my blog. If I do post approved feedback, it will follow the guidelines below.
- This is a safe space for marginalized communities. Allowed feedback must ensure to punch up, not down. If the feedback contains potentially upsetting material (especially for abuse survivors), it will be prefaced with a trigger warning.
- Witty snark is welcome in approved feedback. Profanity, when directed against prejudice, bigotry, and intolerance, is also acceptable.
- I am a cisgender, straight, African-American, atheist man who’s down with the QUILTBAG community. I’m okay with being called black (since we fought for that word), but others might not be.
- Tone trolling those lower down on the privilege ladder is not acceptable here.
- Prayers, proselytizing, hate masquerading as love, and other such hypocritical and blatant disrespect are also not welcome here.
- This space is all about meaningful, real, informed consent. Arguing for a worldview that invalidates it won’t be tolerated here.
