You cannot ban me in a way that matters.
The problem Recently I’ve been paying more attention to how often the concept of the “big 3” (map, zoo, necro) comes up in contact discourse. There are new stances coined with a view to convey being anti c for the big 3, pro c for the big 3, or being inclusive/exclusionary of those who are…
I currently have a survey ongoing that’s a part of my series of map community demographic surveys. You can take this survey here. After several months I will close it and publish it with a recap of the results over the years.
If you’re here, you probably already know that recently I made the decision to shut down my main site, nnia.space.

Since appearance of xenosatanism, a certain section of Tumblr gradually became more tolerant towards similar ideologies, often through the means of guilt-tripping and fear of coming off as…
I’d like to preface this text by saying that I don’t believe youth liberation itself to be so strongly tied to contact discourse that talking about it should immediately invoke that discourse and prompt the speaker to identify their stance. Neither any stance by itself, without any wider context clarifying what exactly the person wants,…
