If any part of The Nebula says or does something you feel is racist, misogynist, classist, homophobic, transphobic, anti-semitic, ableist, prejudiced, oppressive, or problematic in any way, please don't hesitate to call us out or DM us if you feel moved to do so. You're not obligated to explain why it's problematic, but if you give us the opportunity, I promise you we will apologize, reflect on why it might be a problem, and do better in the future. We will strive to understand why it's wrong and rectify it to the best of our ability.

*opens a little convenience store next to plural.cafe where we sell illegal flavored vape juice and weird versions of stuff you have at home but from other countries*

You carefully place the offerings in the pentagram drawn on the floor: a can of original flavor Rockstar, cannabis, a copy of Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age, a black hoodie, and the blood of a cop. You know the incantation, but even the thought of uttering something so abominable makes you feel ill. The words feel like sand on your tongue, but you speak. "'They can't be a singular pronoun," you manage weakly. The weed bursts into flame. The can opens and is half-drained in a flash. 3's and 7's begins playing from nowhere. The hoodie suddenly flies across the room and you duck to avoid it. My voice comes from behind you, "The fuck did you say?"

Jack: Hey kids, we're still alive.

UV is still posting through it at their new account linked in our profile.

I am staying offline. It's for everyone's good.

Be gay, do crimes.

UV: Thank you for tagging your plural discourse so we can filter it. We'd appreciate it if you'd also tag your opinions about DID, if you don't have DID, so that we can filter those as well. This is about as nice as I can be about it. I've totally lost any chance of respecting the opinions I've seen so far.

Frankly, we do enough thankless emotional labor for people in our life, so I see no reason we should do it for total strangers on the internet by adding our own 2 cents and dealing with whatever comes of it. Drea seems keen on doing it anyway, tho, so next time she fronts maybe she will. I'm content to filter what we can and block what we can't, but that's on her.

We often eschew tagging our posts on here because it was always meant to carry our collective identity as a system and give the world a look into the beautiful chaos that is our experience with plurality. I happen to be the most frequent user by far, though, with Jack running second place. We're both planning on creating new accounts on different instances for general use and this account will be for plurality-related posting. We'll link those accounts in our profile when they're created. The mood here is changing and it's just not for us anymore.

Our work schedule/duties alone tend to eat up a lot of spoons, leaving us with little to spend on things like finding new instances, setting up profiles, etc. So changes will likely be slow. We're open to invites if anyone would like to have us.

I guess that's it. The fediverse is meant to be ephemeral and I'm by nature fairly mercurial. We'll pack up our game and head off again soon.
