life in the dying command centre of a brutal colonial empire with a tragic case of small dog syndrome was always going to be shit

@MalcVernone @sleepkingnothin @AodhBC this would be an amazing burn if "sculurous" was actually a word

[john o'goats @klave]

@BOThompson98 done!

update on my last post, @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp have told @klave again that there has been no violation of their 'nondiscrimation policy'. guess that policy is 'discriminate if you feel like it'.

so queer friends, don't use airbnb. #HappyPrideMonth

[john o'goats @klave]

@STRReform @Airbnb_uk it's the problem with the "we're just a platform, we have no responsibility towards either of the parties our platform enables 🤡" model of capitalism unfortunately! I've learned my lesson and won't use them again

[john o'goats @klave]

Having a really upsetting experience with @Airbnb_uk. Because the gender that a host felt I presented as doesn't match my given name, they tried to charge me extra for an "unknown guest"; then when that failed they left a review of me encouraging other hosts not to rent to me. 🧵

[john o'goats @klave]

@bart_read @Airbnb_uk thank you! it certainly is not

[john o'goats @klave]

@bart_read @Airbnb_uk their review policy states that they won't mediate disputes about the truth of reviews, which I suspect means I'm not going to get any satisfaction, but having wasted so much time on this nonsense this week (while having covid!) it makes me feel a tiny bit better to call them out

[john o'goats @klave]

@AirbnbHelp you may not condone discrimination in any way, but you're currently choosing to let a negative false review of me stand on your platform when I believe the root cause is a potentially transphobic misunderstanding on the part of the host; actions speak louder than policies.

[john o'goats @klave]

@bart_read @Airbnb_uk the host claims a "curly-haired gentleman was seen" (i.e. not by her) leaving at the same time as me & partner - which is basically an accurate description of me these days; this has wasted days of my time already and I'm thoroughly bored of it.

@yon_fool 90% of that 75% is the pickles alone

@markdalgarno @RMH40 still true, just less visible in a world of remote working

More writing happening over at @ljwetherby, this time the kind of wry literary listicle that hasn't been popular as a format for at least five years: nine signs you've accidentally fallen into a Thomas Mann short story https://t.co/SwzTaN5FTu

@MidnightRiderLP it's nearly 10 years since I tweeted that and I do indeed still enjoy early (as well as current) Mountain Goats!

[john o'goats @klave]

Trying out my new logitech speakers. They really bring out the shitty quality of a lot of early Mountain Goats tracks #ilovelofi
