I hate keeping the reblogs on on my posts about feminism because TERFs love to hijack them. No, I do not believe in your bioessentialist bullshit. No, I do not think your chromosomes determine what personality you will have and your inherent capacity for evil. I am a man and I am highly critical of men, I think men are misogynistic because they are taught to be by society and I think more and more men are radicalized in feedback loops by their peers in the manosphere and down the alt-right pipeline, I do not think testosterone or their assigned gender at birth is what makes men do harm, I think that is a cop out that removes personal responsibility. It is the same ‘boys will be boys’ bullshit that got us here. I think trans men are men and I think we are capable of being misogynistic and I think it is important to hold each other accountable.

Your idea of feminism is unproductive, regressive and fundamentally useless. You will try to twist my intersection feminism to fit within your extremely flawed and dangerous framework and you will fail. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Block me and make your own goddamn twisted versions of my takes if you want but get the hell off my posts.

It's not indecent exposure to cross your legs in public and if you really sincerely think that then yes, I do think you're a patriarchal misogynist who thinks there are situations where it's appropriate to sexually harass women. TERFS are misogynistic neocons who hate women, they just claim to love women because they're obsessed with their individual selves and happen to be women. Some people are really just so brainwashed by the very systems they rage against.

[necropolistheatre]

JKR is a sex pest for sharing photos of a woman intending for her to be sexually harassed, and TERFs are also sex pests for foaming at the mouth to justify sexualized harassment. TERFs hate women so much they will construct hypotheticals in order to victim blame themselves so that they feel free to victim blame and abuse others. It is a sad cult of hatred and misery, and these women are perpetuating rape culture.

The moment you are scrambling for a reason why sexualized harassment is actually important praxis, and claiming the victim of sexualized harassment is the villain who should be arrested, you are on the side of patriarchy. You are on the side of rape culture. You are an enemy of feminism, an enemy of women. You only care about yourself.

J.K. Rowling continues to disappoint, but this is a new low...

Never in my life would I have imagined Rowlng would someday post upskirts and blame the way someone's dressed!!!

... but then again, it's not so surprising, given she and others did post Imane Khelif in her baggy boxing shorts claiming to see a bulge (if you wear baggy clothes, they'll gather at the crotch like that, I've seen the same when wearing pants that are about two sizes up too...), so man, it's not even that surprising anymore... poor Imane, grew up with her dad not supporting her switch from soccer to boxing because it's ~not ladylike~ so she had to make money for lessons herself as a kid, dealing with sexism, and she's from a conservative Muslim country so obviously they wouldn't have raised her that way if she was male at birth, but there's talk about her being coincidentally found out to be intersex as an adult. Not that it matters?!

Dealing with sexism for being raised a girl and then dealing with people trying to transvestigate her body because she's too good at boxing and because African women tend to be taller and stronger/more muscular than White European women. Sucks......... there are radfem that misgender her too, it's so absurd.

If it's about cases you wouldn't even realize most of your life your biological sex doesn't match your phenotype because outwardly you still look female, there's probably a lot of intersex folks in society... if PCOS/PMOS was counted for how it "virilizes" women with hirsutism, makes us grow muscle more easily than most women, etc., the number of intersex people in society would be much higher than people would want to admit...

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

i really thought the point of "being lgbt+ doesn't absolve you of racism as a white person" was that white people arent absolved of racism by being marginalized but it really seems like people think other marginalizations make it okay. no being disabled doesn't do it. no being poor doesnt do it. we need to fight against racism actively no matter what.

Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets

Unions say basic needs still not being met a year after regulator told operators to improve facilities

A 2024 report by Aslef from a survey of its members found widespread issues, with many drivers unable to reach working toilets and many resorting to urinating in bottles or defecating in the cabs. The report said it had become a significant health and safety problem, with drivers left dehydrated because they were not drinking enough in order to avoid requiring a toilet break – putting passengers and staff at risk. The union believed it had secured a breakthrough last summer when operators signed up to a charter set out by the rail safety board after a long campaign. Richard Hines, HM chief inspector of railways at the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), wrote to train operators on 29 July 2025 telling them that “reliable welfare facilities [are] a basic requirement in any civilised society”. He said the current situation where some staff “lack adequate facilities or the time to use them, is unacceptable. This is a matter of human dignity, health, safety and respect to our people.” Dave Calfe, the general secretary of Aslef, said: “We need action, not broken promises, to improve toilet facilities for drivers and to reduce the time drivers are expected to go without being able to take a toilet break. The health and wellbeing of our members is not a price we are prepared to pay for the inaction of the industry.” The union said female drivers were particularly affected, and the situation was a deterrent to the railway’s attempts to recruit more women in the cab. The welfare charter, which should have been implemented within 12 months, requires “safe, clean, accessible and dignified” toilets across the railway, and a maximum time of four hours in the driving seat without the chance to go to the toilet.

Angel of War, angular and strange, gleaming silver and gold, Angel of Wonder, pure and one-eyed, looking to stars new and old, Angel of Harvest, simple and hidden, bring nature's sweetness to all, Angel of Health, mysterious and fine, beacon when life starts to fall, Angel of the Deep, crooked and cage-like, guide us across the sea, Angel of Solace, protect us from evil, lead us to where we are free.

I love all of these. The angel of the the deep's wings are canvas, held up by an anchor. The angel of war's wings are blades, and its shield is a coffin. The angel of solace is a mutant, its arms deforming into wings. Geiger counter in hand, it guides us through the danger only it knows. Was this angel once a man? Corrupted now beyond hope, he can at least save others from the same fate.

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

July 22, 2026 - People around the USA are taking down Flock AI surveillance cameras. [video]

DeFlock

Find license plate readers (LPRs) near you.

[nevermindirah]

direct action works!!

physically interfering with the cameras is highly effective but obviously it's not a type of activism that's accessible to everyone — so if like me you think warrentless surveillance is never ever ever a reasonable thing for a government to do, but you're also like me and can't personally climb camera poles to dismantle that shit:

check out the August 16-22 week of action!

National Week of Action Against ALPRs | DeFlock

Mass surveillance doesn't equal safety. Join the movement to dismantle automated license plate readers in our communities.

big and small cities all over the US (and one so far in Canada!) are holding events like education sessions, marches, and public lobbying meetings with the local governments and police departments that decide whether to spend taxpayer money on warrantless surveillance. maybe my city and yours can join the nearly 100 places that have already rejected or ended contracts for mass privacy violation cameras.

You also purchase CDs once and as long as nothing happens to them you get to keep them forever.

[taykoutmccleod]

and if you have a computer with a disc drive, you can move the content of those CDs onto it and then burn it onto future CDs. it doesn't even have to be the same album. you can make a playlist with physical media. you just have access to all of it, at your whim, with no unskippable ads being shoved in your ears. it's really nice!

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
