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

@sleepkingnothin @AodhBC All her dogs have died years before, Whisper was the last in about 2018. Please do proper research before posting such a sculurous and inaccurate statement, thank you

@BOThompson98 done!

@klave Hi, could you follow me back so I can drop you a message? 🙂

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

@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

@klave @Airbnb_uk I’m sorry Airbnb put you through this. Awful company that says a lot but does nothing to protect people.

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. 🧵

@bart_read @Airbnb_uk thank you! it certainly is not

@klave @Airbnb_uk Yeah, and I don't blame you. I think they're mostly just inept and indifferent, which is I suppose functionally equivalent. Hope you get over COVID soon - it's no fun.

@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

@klave @Airbnb_uk It's not that Airbnb are transphobic (although they may be): it's much worse and wider than that. They simply don't care about people writing blatant untruths in reviews of guests.

@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.

@klave Hi, Airbnb does not condone discrimination in any way. You can view our Nondiscrimination Policy here: air.do/6015zXj87 Please send us a private message with the email address connected to your account so our team can follow up. Thank you.

@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.

@klave @Airbnb_uk I wouldn't overread it: their customer service is simply terrible. I'd booked a place for 4 of us end of summer 2020. Big enough for 8 but we wanted all separate rooms because of COVID. Only used half the beds, and stripped them when we left, according to the instructions...

@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 twitter.com/ljwetherby/sta…

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

@klave detail is key keep enjoying!!

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

I'm not doing much of a twitter these days but I am certainly doing a writing! Follow @ljwetherby here or on Instagram for more updates. twitter.com/ljwetherby/sta…
