@LiquidParasyte yes!! although i had actually started a couple years ago but didn't get anywhere. i've been playing it the last week or so and its been a lot of fun!
@Spyemma it was made for a youtube thumbnail actually! it was made by @NastyREDACTED for a demonmama video! but it was so cute i just had to use it!
@heathen its complicated: definitely southern but not part of The South in the same way West Virginia isn't part of The South because they refused to fight for the confederacy.
redrafting this because i misunderstood:
after losing a lawsuit, CompactMag, headed by Nina Power, had their logs leaked as part of the lawsuit.
i was under the misunderstanding that a victim of Nina's harassment sued her - i have since discovered it was the other way around! after harassing a "Luke Turner" to the point that he called her and her compatriot Daniel Miller fascists, they decided to sue Luke for libel! which revealed their messages in which they admit to being straight up neo-nazis!
@wallamidyl i recorded the session (though i had audio problems RIGHT before we started so, the audio is a little jank on the session, the future ones should be a bit better) i also have my own notes i wrote down prior to the session that i was thinking about archiving somewhere adjacent to my digital library (anarch.cc/library)
if you're interested, when i get it accessible i'll keep you in mind and send them your way.
i was sent some things that might further my criticisms and suspicions.
like an academic back and forth published in journals about invasion biology:

and a book by Tao Orion called 'Beyond the War on Invasive Species" that i'm gonna try to pick up
thank you "BasedOmniMan" for giving me such a palpable example of why i'm suspicious of this terminology!
like on the one level i obviously understand that some plants were introduced into ecosystems in which their behaviors are so aggressive that they destroy the biodiversity of an area........ but at the same time creatures are escaping the conditions that created them and radically changing other ecosystems, creating new pressures which force the life of those ecosystems to transform too.
how do i draw a line here?
