So now that I've got radical.town up and running I'm probably gonna be using this one mostly for selfies and @cambrian_era for more general shitposting.

So 5th grade me was just crying and the teacher was like, "Well, you for 3rd place" and I'm like, "I can't even be like 'well, you tried your best! because I didn't even GET to try!"
Also I was terrified of using the girls bathroom and then boys were just coming in and using it like it was no big deal.

So because of the bracket structure one of them won and then kept on winning. I was like, "Ok, now I can show them I'm good and win for the girls." but time ran out and they were just like, "Good job, everyone's a winner" and gave me 3rd place even though I'd never fought.

So, dream #1 last night: I dreamt I was in 5th grade and in a girl's kickboxing competition at some field day thing. I hadn't wanted to do it but they were like, "Merisa you're big and strong, you should do this" so I did even though I felt awful about it.
But it turns out they let the boys join too, because there weren't enough of them for their own team.
We've got more tools to deal with communities here and CWs are just one of them. Instances with stricter CW norms might be another.
I agree with Eugen here. CWs are useful and powerful, but I think we're going to need to get used to taking our safety into our own hands to a certain extent. I've heard similar concerns about instances or moderation regarding how they might be abused and yeah, it goes both ways. We don't have mods that defend Nazis on most instances but that also means there are a few that do.
