hey so just saying "this account isn't for being a Public Performance" isn't sufficient so to be clear: I'm gonna be pretty slow to accept new followers unless I know you pretty well or we're friends or you're part of the shrike club instance! that's not a guarantee I WON'T accept your follow, but, it'll probably be a while!
...and if I know, for a FACT, you've seen my posts about not wanting random people following me, and walked over that boundary ANYWAY, I'm probably gonna be slow to trust!!
also I unblocked the instance wehavecookies.social because they appear to have cleared their spam out and be on top of it now. still irritated at people foolish enough to have an open signup policy but whatever at least they're dealing with it responsibly.
ok upgrading these posts to "unlisted" so other shrikes can see them. there's a big spam flood on the fediverse rn and I'm trying to whack instances with hammers when they pop up.
if this continues to be a problem I may follow this advice: https://wehavecookies.social/@paul@oldfriends.live/111948023592016886 however, a bunch of the spam reported over the last few days DOES NOT follow this format so I'm a little iffy on it being worthwhile?
please send in reports if you're getting spam notifications so we can do more instance blocks.
here's a couple of warmups, a sketch of @lunalapin and a... now very topical illustration of Regs and Tres Leches from Legions
The Perfectly Generic Podcast's bonus show, [I]ntermission, returns from the grave, completely naked of context, slippery and hairless. Kate Mitchell invades Zoe's Patreon to walk around town with her and discuss the evil cast of That 70's Show, Seattle's world-class Cyclist Hunter-Killer Waterfront, the sudden appearance of a rock-skipping cop, and more, in a gritty, down-to-earth example of audio à la demande veritas.

a drawing based on a photo of @petme and @lillithlapin that I just thought was really lovely and romantic :) https://monsterfuckers.online/@lillithlapin/110618475763338462
I'm really proud of how this turned out!
gonna put a finger on the scale and say hey, it's really nice that Favorini-Csorba seems to have very concrete policy positions that specifically include food sovereignty and renters as like, people!
https://www.realchangenews.org/news/2023/02/01/meet-candidates-little-known-king-conservation-district-board here's an edited interview debate thing with the candidates I guess which may be helpful?
oh by the way if you're in Seattle you can maybe vote in the King Conservation District election this week. you'd be one of like 10,000 people in the city who actually bothers to do so.
I linked originally to a Stranger article about this year's ballot but then realized it was... LAST year's ballot--they didn't uh, bother to do a writeup this year I guess :/
you can find information about the candidates and vote all on the same website though: https://vote.kingcd.org/
went ahead and fediblocked federated.fun for being a third rate pleroma troll instance.
