I’m more shocked that that person had 58 friends.
Brazil and China have reportedly struck a deal to ditch the U.S. dollar in favor of their own currencies in trade transactions.
The deal, announced Wednesday, will enable China and Brazil to carry out trade and financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais – or vice versa – rather than first converting their currencies to the U.S. dollar.

China is Brazil’s largest trading partner, accounting for more than a fifth of all imports, followed by the United States, according to the latest figures. China is also Brazil’s largest export market, accounting for more than a third of all exports.

On Twitter, I had been asking the operators of the Trans Lifeline to institute safeguarding measures for their clients. Trans Lifeline is a suicide hotline developed by and for the transgender community. It was Trans Lifeline’s policy to deliberately not conduct background checks for its hotline volunteers. Kiwi Farms had been tracking my public appeals. One of the forum users, a transgender woman, heaped my name on top of the information pile they were gathering. Another forum participant, concerned for my safety and privacy, contacted me through Twitter to warn me.
As it turns out, Kiwi Farms had been accumulating information on the Trans Lifeline, and some of its forum participants had been scrapping with the Trans Lifeline leadership. The forum revealed information about Trans Lifeline that I, even as an active critic, had not known. I learned that Trans Lifeline was not answering many of its calls, which was revealed by Trans Lifeline through its own reporting (when Kiwi Farms took notice, Trans Lifeline discontinued its public reporting). I learned that Greta Gustava Martela, one of the founders of Trans Lifeline, had actually traveled across the country to confront the operator of Kiwi Farms at his mother’s house (Kiwi Farms had screenshots of Martela bragging about owning deadly weapons). This confrontation is represented on Wikipedia as a “decision to directly confront individuals who they believe facilitate transphobia” or, as most people would describe it, an angry stranger showing up on your doorstep to threaten you.
There are plenty of elements of a news story. A suicide hotline for a vulnerable population that doesn’t answer calls, that does not have safeguarding policies, and whose leadership shows up in person to menace critics. Although this is not headline news, it merits some attention from smaller media outlets. However, two forces prevented this story from ever being reported. Kiwi Farms had built a reputation as being a hang-out for miscreants, and no reporter wanted to blemish their own standing by offering a sympathetic angle, and in a post-Trump world, transgender activism had attained an unchallengeable social privilege.
It would be wrong to say that there was zero media attention of Trans Lifeline. The NBC News website wrote a glossy profile of its co-founder Nina Chaubal. The New York Times also dedicated a sympathetic piece to Chaubal covering her detention by US Immigration on an expired work visa.
In early 2018, the Trans Lifeline board removed Martela and Chaubal from leadership following allegations that the pair had diverted in the neighborhood of $350,000 from the charity’s funds to their own private uses. The organization filed a Form 990 reporting “unauthorized purchases” and an agreement for the terminated founders to repay the misspent funds over ten years.
In a functional media environment, the story of a suicide hotline for a vulnerable population having its funds misspent by its founders should have been a widely reported story. The charity itself should have undergone public scrutiny, and its board should have faced pressure to recover the lost money. The duty of informing the public should never fall to a seedy gossip website known for publishing “dox,” personal contact details, of its targets of interest. Kiwi Farms acted as both a repository of evidence and as a freelance company of analysts for this event.
The world should not need Kiwi Farms

Basically what happened was that Greta showed up at Josh's house to talk to him. Josh hid in the bathroom and let his mother handle it

This is the trad-LARPing right here. Everyone else is a degenerate and a cuck except for me and my lawyer. For the record, what Rekieta does with his wife and consenting others is their business, but when you chose to make that business public on your Discord and you have a history of shaming others for their sexual activities, you are a massive hypocrite who deserves a big fucking call-out. Not at all surprised to see that Null too is a massive hypocrite and an opportunist about this.
He must like to produce a horrible stream. SHAMEFUL DISPLAY!
Null said on MATI today that he's gonna perform some kind of a "transformation" to the backend, which is gonna cause the Mad At The Internet site to be offline until next week:
