Hello world!

This is my new, public facing twitter. I will be using it to post streaming announcements, talk about games design and look for new opportunities in the games industry.

Trans women are women. That's it. That's the tweet.

First Katkin Club box arrived yesterday... today it's become a cosy home for Phasma!

She's having her main snooze on my bed but we'll see how she likes it later today 💜

Hi folks

I'm still on semi-haitus (as before, my health is incredibly variable and I need to focus on regaining my stability and independence), but I have an announcement!

I have a Patreon now:

If you feel like supporting me, please check it out!

Hey folks, sorry for my extended absence!

I'm taking some time away from twitter (and streaming). I'm dealing with some medical and financial instability, and tweeting isn't a good use of energy right now.

I'll be back eventually, love y'all 💚

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

@invalid__art Oh, I didn't know this and it's been used against me a lot. Nice 🙃

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

🔕 muting this; the support is much appreciated but my emotional energy is better spent somewhere other than the comments of this tweet.

Keep writing to your MPs and pushing for green policy across party lines, and don't burn out while fighting the good fight ✊

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

If you followed me for me presence in the green party, I have bad news.

I'm stepping back from all active engagement with the party.

I believe in green policy. I cannot pour my heart into a party that makes me feel unsafe. I'll be back if/when I can attend events without fear.

@BartySlarty I am a rape survivor. Using emotive 'think about rape victims' comebacks at me is deliberately hurtful and doesn't make the point you think it does. Stay away from this little patch of internet I tend.

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

Numbers go brrr!

If you want to help trans people in the UK, consider supporting Gendered Intelligence or Galop - they have both helped me and I recommend them.

If you want to know what being trans means, on a lived experience level, you can ask me.

Lets keep saving the world!

@Jeeeez17 Lmao I'm leaving because of physical threats to myself and other transmasc folks when i showed up with an ambitious project to plant trees in underprivileged areas of my county but go off

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

@pigovian As above: very welcome, and I'll discuss specifics in private if that would be helpful

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

@StefLib You're very welcome to, and I'm happy to discuss the specifics that led me here in private

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

@keithpp There is a small group who have been behaving in an intimidating way towards trans members (including at conference), and the complaints system did not find a solution.

As investigations are ongoing, I dont think naming/shaming is a helpful tactic, so instead I'm stepping away.

@Felam135 @MDEleftist There is one specific transphobe who has said some extremely vile things and made conference hostile to trans people, and dispute resolution did nothing. I want to discuss green energy and rewilding, not be called names at conference.

[North East Anarchist Group ⬛️🟥 @NEAnarchoGroup]

NEAG members have set up a mutual aid phone box in Durham, just off Market Square, with free food and clothes. Please take what you want and leave what you can to keep it filled for those struggling with the current cost of living crisis.

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

@shoddyknight @thatinterlace @bloodandt3rf I'd be willing to help, but as a point of information: I did not actually attend conference despite having a ticket because a specific prominent transphobe was in attendance and I deemed the event an unsafe place to be a visibly trans public speaker.

[Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷 @ElwellKane]

spend longer than I'd like to admit making this pretty. My minecraft villagers have a nicer house than me

I am not good at word games, but this is the first one I've failed since starting a week ago, and I'm proud that I've been doing the thing regardless!
