This blog is built from a deep belief in community care, mutual respect, and radical honesty. I want this to be a space where working-class voices, queer and trans experiences, and local truths are centered — without fear of harassment, bad-faith arguing, or exploitation.
If you’re commenting here, I expect you to treat everyone’s humanity with dignity. That means no racism, transphobia, misogyny, classism, ableism, xenophobia, or hate speech of any kind. It also means engaging in good faith — you can disagree, but not dehumanize. Trolling, gaslighting, or derailing the conversation won’t be tolerated.
If you see something harmful, I encourage you to flag it or reach out. I’ll do my best to respond, but I welcome help in keeping this space safe and accountable. I reserve the right to delete comments that violate these guidelines and will ban repeat or extreme offenders. If necessary, I’ll turn comments off entirely.
These guidelines are inspired by the work of City Bureau, Massive Science, and the digital witness strategies of WITNESS. This space isn’t neutral — it’s designed to protect and uplift.
