Genuine question, why is “as a white person” bad? If I’m voicing an opinion about racism, I thought it’s important to clarify that I’m white so that people are aware and can call me out if I say anything biased.

It's also important to not make yourself the center of attention when people of color are describing their experiences. It's not that you're clarifying you're white, the issue is when people of color make a post calling out racism and then white people who want us to appease their guilt are like "as a white person i've NEVER done/knew about this" and it's like. That's not... helpful? We don't really need to know that 😭 Sometimes it's better to be an active listener than to want brownie points for seemingly not being racist. If it's the latter and you didn't know that was racism at all, that's not great either because you SHOULD know that if you're someone who who says they want to unlearn their biases against marginalized people. I think sometimes, people just want to chime in and are unaware of how they come off, but other times, it feels pretty defensive.

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juneberryjammin]

Additional reminder that this kind of self censorship makes it harder for people to block content they do not want to see.

i'm getting the sense some of you are not actually forklift certified.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

well damn . egg on my face

[dingdongyouarewrong]

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

[averagejoey2000]

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

[averagejoey2000]

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

[averagejoey2000]

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

[averagejoey2000]

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

[stoptheantisemitism]

Did you see the BDS movement have updated their boycott list? XBox, Reebok, Teva and Disney have moved to priority targets, and they’re supporting the organic boycott of Zara. Dominos is back on the list too (did it ever really leave though)

Yes I did!

Here is the updated list for anyone who wants to stay in the loop

[stoptheantisemitism]

I think people like @prince-of-goths have played such a large part in watering down what antisemitism means.

Imagine looking at those logos and saying "you're making a list of Jews and that's antisemitic"

Go on and explain what you mean by that.

Does it irk anybody else about the lack of nonbinary headcanons that don’t use transmasc/transfem. Can we have one nonbinary character that’s just transneutral and that’s it. Can anybody hear me

I see everyone can tell this post was about Kris Deltarune

[criiitter]

obsessed with kris using things the player can't see to communicate with other characters. drawing on the window in the diner. 80% as much honey on toast as usual. silly faces and nodding/shaking their head. changing the tone of what we make them say to make it clear that they mean it differently. i love that it's shown time and time again that kris ISN'T apathetic about anything. kris wants friends. kris has boundaries and wants mom to know that what she did made them feel bad. kris wants the people in their life to be happy and kris wants affection. i love kris deltarune

[evergreen-femme]

im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

Cursed be the one who announced to my father: “It’s a boy!"... ...How could he twist the course of the stars so much? How could he have erred so in his astrology? A lying tongue, a fool’s mouth it had given him For he foolishly transformed justice to poison He altered the law and transposed the lines

Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

I think I'm gonna go lay down for a little while.

[jewish-microwave-laser]

guys im so sorry but this dude is a satirist and this poem is surrounded by other pieces of satire. as a trans jew, not good rep at all and it feels reductive to pretend that it is

note that these excerpts conveniently leave out rhe parts where he jokes about how women have life on easy mode and spend their days laying on the floor tasting one dish after another. this poem is looking down on women and complaining about how many mitzvot men are beholden to

not trans rep just sexism

[paradigm-adrift]

I'm just a rando on the internet trying to figure out which other randos on the internet to trust because I don't know much about the relevant culture & history, but having read through the full poem and skimmed some of the analysis, I'm inclined to side with the take that this is a cis man doing satire, not a historical trans woman. If this person was trans, they were hiding it behind satire, not venting their true feelings in this piece in a straightforward way.

[riotouseaterofflesh]

how many times have we heard this before, sometimes even from the author "him"self not long after the writing...

[jewish-microwave-laser]

in this very book kalonymus ben kalonymus has a long discussion about how you shouldnt trust anyone who drinks water, and that wine is the key to studying the torah. the opening of the book is extremely clearly stating that this book is about the hypocrisy of jewish law and jews and each story within is extremely obvious about that fact

it's not a personal failing to not be well-versed in קלונימוס בן קלונימוס or אבן בחן because sadly it is a topic that is as yet extremely understudied. there's not even a definitive set of dictionaries to help one parse through medieval hebrew*, and only a select few scholars are working through the extensive medieval jewish philosophical literature to try to help fill that gap

that being said, it does not give you the right to simply take one bad translation of one poem out of context (and boy is this poem heavy in context, kalonymus was a fucking master of intertextuality) and plaster your modern understandings of sex and gender on something intended to be satirical and then accuse a queer scholar of this very topic of erasing its own history just because it knows more than you

somebody asked me why i care about this spreading of disinformation and my answer is this: by spreading lies about queer jewish history, you are making it harder to discuss actual real queer jewish history. additionally, you're participating in the whitewashing of an already criminally under-discussed figure just because you like your made up version of his history better than the actual reality

*it's not nearly as intuitive as youd think. for example, עולם usually meant "time" and to study סלם יעקב meant to study (aristotelian) philosophy and the sciences. there was heavy influence from a variety of genres and regions, like arab adabs and italian proto-pickup artistry (i wish i was joking LMAO look up מגילת החשק של עמנואל הרומי and dante's vita nuova it's crazy. theres a nun)

———

if you are curious about how to discuss queer history without reneging on the whole "sex and gender are social constructs" thing, i recommend the following:

michel foucault - history of sexuality vol. 1

catherine chin - "marvelous things heard: on finding historical radiance"

max k. strassfeld - trans talmud: androgynes and eunuchs in rabbinic literature

after youve shored up your methodology, i recommend the following discussing kalonymus, his writings, and his legacy. it is important to note that the first two publications both have serious lapses in their methodologies including convenient omissions, misleading translations, and a lack of work done in the methodology discussed above

j. chotzner - "kalonymos ben kalonymos, a thirteenth-century satirist"

tova rosen - "circumcised cinderella: the fantasies of a fourteenth-century jewish author"

roni cohen - carnival and canon: medieval parodies for purim (doctoral thesis)

yehuda halper - "aristotelian philosophical programs in the middle ages" (possibly forthcoming)

[asneakyfox]

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

adding @glorious-spoon 's astute tags:

#bury your gays and women in refrigerators and the black guy dies first are all about treating marginalized people like props#to further the story of the (white straight male) protagonist#that's not the same thing as a tragedy! some stories are tragedies! whose story has weight and meaning - that's the question
