Anon visits webpages in 2022

As others have pointed out before, if you visited a web page 20 years ago and it acted like that, you would rightly assume your computer had gotten a virus.

You wouldn't know it from mainstream media, but cis lesbians are the most supportive group of trans people... even more than trans people ourselves!

Media doesn't present reality: it creates it. The moral panic over trans women in queer spaces is a contrived conflict invented to drive our community apart. But our movements are connected at their core, and we are stronger together.

Something I’ve noticed about corporate or any of kind of work in the last few years is that they’ve been quietly laying off tons of people because of AI advancement, but now expect 1 person to do the job of 2-3. What the fuck is this shit? The white collar jobs where you can just sit around and rot are disappearing with automation. The Amazon wage cage is becoming a reality. What’s the point of young people working when any non-boomer jobs are so low paying that we’d still be in the same income bracket if we went on welfare and became a NEET instead? It’s just not worth it. My free time is worth more than any pennies zog could throw me.

There's no way Pete Hegseth's tattoo says Weiße (White) People, right?.. RIGHT?

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

Just reacting to standard U.S. news

I remember my diehard feminist women's studies professor saying, 'it doesn't matter what you do or what you accomplish, (most) men will still find an excuse to hate women,' & thinking she was extreme

[hellyeahscarleteen]

"There is a long-held stigma against people considered to be having “too much” sex, but there’s also one held against those having “too little,” with the goalposts of judgment moving for every person and their individual opinions. Slut-shaming is a huge problem, with women in particular being ostracized for having multiple partners. On the flip-side, vanilla⁠-shaming is a topic being spoken about a lot at the moment, with Tiktok trends glamorizing rough sex and shaming teenagers who aren’t thrilled with the idea of being choked when they haven’t even figured out what they like and what they don’t yet in terms of sex and sexuality.

People seem to have a problem with sex no matter how much or little you have of it, and that’s the true root of the problem. The number of people you choose to sleep with isn’t the crux of sexual liberation. People who choose to have sex with fewer (or no) people shouldn’t be ashamed, and neither should people who choose to have multiple partners. It’s all about the choice - having the agency to sleep with as many or as few people as you please. It doesn’t make you naïve or boring or a slut⁠ or a whore; it’s just a choice that you’ve made, and that in itself is sexually liberating."

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all. Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy. This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

In light of the First Amendment, coming to this point is surreal.

Your gender is yours! Being intersex does not make you less of a woman or less of a man. If you are nonbinary, being intersex as well doesn't change who you are! Intersex can seem like a scary term, especially as a new realization about yourself. But "intersex" isn't a bad word! It doesn't strip away a gender you have lived and connected to. It doesn't decide what gender you will identify with in the future. "Intersex" simply describes people whose bodies develop outside of the typical sex binary. Remember that your intersex status doesn't determine or dictate your gender. Your gender belongs to you!
