Between this and the Talarcio stuff, there's a lot of "legitimate claim to participation in political life is earned through correct performance of a highly specific vision of heterosexuality that only we get to define" coming from MAGA lately.

An analogy that literally erases someone else’s labor. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

It's day two of our "unfortunately we still need to pay bills, oh no" sale on the etsy shop, where you can peruse the finest in dorky items for the ADHD geek in your life! thebrokencircle.etsy...

It's too late to do anything by pulling the lever, but what you can do is kill Sneaky Stanley, he's the guy with the rope that keeps tying people to the trolley tracks, and although you won't be able to prevent this tragedy you can prevent any tragedy like this from ever happening again

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

using vegan the same way they use gay the same way they use Mexican the same way they use DEI and CRT, the same way they use

one of the funniest things about the east wing demolition is it happened 3 months before the MELANIA movie released which has a short segment where trump mentions that melania loves her little first lady office in the east wing and you just watch that with the knowledge its totally destroyed now lol

Trans. Woman. Two words. "trans woman" shows that this is just a kind of woman, like tall, blonde or green-eyed. "Transwoman" has and will be used to say that we are a separate thing from women. Trans women are a kind of woman, pass it on.

It would be interesting to hear the biological-woman/man definers explain in what sense God qualifies as a man

It’s time for the Alolan beach episode 🏖 #kigurumi #着ぐるみ #cosplay

Am I a Dunsparce blog now 🤣 #pokemon #art #plush #needlefelting

Also Tupperware parties were specifically recruitment for a pyramid scheme so honestly this is actually a pretty apt way of describing it.

Every now and then I come across some zero engagement person on YouTube or elsewhere who is almost certainly am actual right wing chud, and I realize there's a million of these sad sacks. We only see the successful ones.

i know someone who tried to do this and while she does now have more twitter followers than before, that relative increase doesnt seem like it was worth alienating everyone on earth who could ever possibly be genuinely invested in her welfare

I seriously considered this more than once and where I ended up is that there's no nonviolent way to do it. As an Internet grassroots wingnut you're not going to make your name on policy and generalities. To hit the big leagues you need to lead campaigns that hurt specific, vulnerable people.

Yep. Chaya Raichik wouldn’t be where she is just being like “gay people are bad.” She has to put targets on specific teachers, doctors, even children. Thank your lucky stars you’re not capable of that.

On the cusp of being forced out of a profession that neither appears to want you nor resembles the one you thought it was anymore. Is this what being a craft labourer felt like in the early nineteenth century?

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

“Without NDAs to cover patterns of… sexual harassment, the tech world decided to become even more of a boys club.” So if they can’t keep you from talking about being sexually harassed, they just won’t hire you in the first place. Rather than, I dunno, not sexually harassing women.

Per a new study, successful movies are more likely to feature a “Chris” or a talking animal than a woman over 60 www.jezebel.com/talking-anim...

Was Pope Leo specifically calling out Tolkien-loving tech bros Peter Thiel and Elon Musk when he quoted Gandalf in an encyclical about the dehumanizing effects of technocratic society? The Vatican won't answer my emails, but the billionaire's hopeless misreads certainly called for a correction:

Need to write an article about the truly useful things you need to know about living in Japan, like “beware most supermarket cheese, it’s 30% added cellulose and tastes like ass,” and “be sure to keep stocked up on sink condoms”

its pretty annoying when people just like. cant wrap their minds around the idea that disabilities (even mental illness ones) cannot be conquered by Willpower

Once again, these people think autistic people being alive is a tragedy. They want to kill us all because they don’t see us as actual people.

This plan is actively *insane.* Airlines cannot divert large numbers of international flights from one city to another; they'd just have to cancel flights en masse, causing enormous economic damage that splashed waaaaay beyond a few big cities that were the target.

it should not be contraversial to say that D&D is not a game about cosy pastoral whimsy where you go to feasts and maybe flirt with a handsome blacksmith and nobody ever raises their voice, holy shit.

As a former Catholic, I openly back this homie.

The fact that pokemon neglected the galar fossils for the Chicago Fossil Exhibit genuinely makes me upset bc it would've taught the general public about the Bone Wars.

We’d like to kick off this week with a series debunking some common union myths. These myths are spread to try and scare you away from your right to organize with your fellow workers, and the biggest antidote for those fears? Facts.

Oh this bill is really, really bad. You would be charged under trafficking offenses if you have a roommate who does sex work, if you help a trafficking survivor create an escape fund, and you would be permanently banned from some jobs such social work or nursing

We've had several transcribers over the years and they all have at least one linguistics degree, often several, it's a necessity for technical terms and phonetic transcription

This isn't just a Pocket Casts problem, Spotify's AI garbage transcript can't even spell the name of the show (which is, y'know, in the metadata) or my cohost's name correctly.

This isn't only a Pocket Casts thing, I've been seeing the shitty AI transcripts show up on Spotify and other podcast apps too Which, if it's an alternative to zero transcript, I get why people would want them But there's no option for creators who are already making transcripts to integrate ours

No! This transcript button takes you to a paywall which implies that you should pay the podcast app for a shitty AI version of a transcript Which if it's any good at all, is because it's scraping OUR WEBSITE which contains the FREE TRANSCRIPTS that we PAY A HUMAN to make for everyone to read

I'm so fucking furious. So, here's my podcast in a podcast app, which now has this nice "show transcript" button Perhaps it's taking you to our free, high quality transcripts that we PAY A HUMAN to make? Absolutely not. 🧵

This gummy bear punched Rayquaza in the face (my Blue Rescue Team pal, Eco!) #pmd #mundomisterioso #pokemon #totodile

they traded a guy for oswald the lucky rabbit. like a real life man with a wife and kids. they gave his life away for a cartoon rabbit

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

People really struggle with this concept but: How will you prove YOU deserve due process if you aren’t afforded due process?
