awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

[shrodingers-catgirl]

HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

[vaporwavelich]

so like. the person above who made the claim that they left out the trans flag is just wrong. i don't think they were necessarily lying, i did follow up to see if they addressed it at all and i saw that their reblogs in this chain have been deleted and they answered some asks about this saying that they hadn't seen the trans flag when they made that post.

however. since i have seen this post several times without any corrections. i just wanna put this here.

(source link)

so it is just. straight up untrue that there's no trans flag. i get the energy re: calling out the double standards from staff but it's really not a good look to be insisting that the trans flag has been left out and implying that this being so must be on purpose when it's. very much there.

i'd rather every single person on earth have free, reliable, easily accessible, and judgment free access to hrt, even if they regret taking it later, than have one single trans person kill themselves because they can't access or afford or are prevented from taking hrt!!!! i'll forcefem a thousands cismen before i let one trans girl die!!!!

[ahmnorhein-zkn]

Repost, now do your honors.

[jkl-fff]

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

[dark-spirit-tamamoland]

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/

[puppetedlove]

[puppetvictim]

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[knighthearts]

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

[toydrill]

i need people on this website to stop being scared of the n word like i seriously need white people especially on this website to stop being scared of following black people who say nigga or songs that say nigga or movies or books or essays or whatever.

like why is it that it is easier for some of you on this website to become acclimated to the queer people around you reclaiming slurs like faggot or dyke but as soon as a black blogger has the GALL to say nigga you start getting scared because for some weird reason the concept of someone around you using a word they have the right to use and you do not scares you? GROW UP

[toydrill]

to be honest i think some of you are just afraid of someone around you using a word that very bluntly makes you think about the fact that you (YES YOU, WHITE PERSON!) descend from people that benefitted off of killing and raping and exploiting black people on a mass scale (and this goes for non-american white people too i have no idea why people from european countries do not think this applies to them. my grandparents were born in an english colony... when it was still a colony!!!!! there are places that are still being colonized RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!)

My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.

“but shrouded black figures are scary!” not when ur muslim. its the funniest fucking thing. this is labeled on pinterest under shit like “classic horror” “scary phone wallpaper”

but that LITERALLY just looks like a niqabi or someone in a jilbab. Like Look at this pic of me (from a self photoshoot, now w/o the dramatic lighting and dark background)

or this pic of me

or this pic of me

like its so funny i can’t be scared of shrouded figures it just looks like me.

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

if i saw this i would just be like “Assalam alaikum sister, dope sword you got there”

[ultmateragnarok]

I mean I think a part of the ‘scary background’ bit is the thing where the individual in question is staring directly at the viewer from a foggy pond in a dense forest. And also the literal burning halo

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

sounds like a normal Friday night. if a sister wants to go on a walk in the evening who am i to stop her. if she has a burning halo that’s the will of god.

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[ichorandpride]

#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t even opt out of it

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results

there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around

HORROR! Real, actual horror! There's nothing else to call it!

[questionable-method]

no but im so tired of how self-deprecation is always more accepted than self-advocacy. if i say i can't drive because im autistic i get questioned on how exactly that works and given a million suggestions on how to do it anyway and i look like im trying to be special so it's easier to just say im a loser. yeah i don't drive because im kind of a loser lmao. oh well. and people say lmao back and we move on. at worst they say "oh im sure you'll figure it out haha." but no interrogation!! being a loser is more respectable than being disabled. being a loser is something that doesn't make other people feel uncomfortable about their own biases. so no, no im not disabled. i don't struggle to keep friends and do the laundry and make quick trivial decisions and clean my room and brush my teeth because im autistic. it's because im a loser. it's my fault. it is what it is. at least im funny now. do you think im funny? please think im funny

CORRECTION: it's a MINIMUM of two years. generally it's 100% of your wage in the first year, 70% in the second.

a dutch employer must also:

refrain from asking medical details. all they have a right to know is that you cannot work, the aspects of work that you cannot perform, and whether you're making efforts to recover

provide open consultations with a doctor specialised in occupational health

(partially) cover the costs of treatments that'll help you get back to work quicker and more sustainably

make efforts to prevent illnesses due to work (including burn-out and repetitive strain injuries)

provide temporary or permanent alternative working conditions (e.g., fewer hours, different tasks, ergonomic tools) if it's impossible or hazardous to the employee's health to (fully) return to their regular work and working conditions

provide assistance in finding an alternative employer if no suitable alternative work can be found within the organisation

the exact details can differ based on union agreements, the size of the organisation, specific contracts, and what have you. but this is the baseline for contractual permanent positions by law.

partially sharing because i have a lot of dutch followers this may sooner or later apply to, and partially to show the true extent of what's possible.

the dutch system is set up so that people can focus on recovery and making a healthy and sustainable return to work. in practice there's plenty of room for improvements on those fronts. but all in all, it's been shown to be more cost-effective than a continuous rotation of people getting more and more ill due to work until they reach a breaking point and have to recover for far longer than if those people had had the opportunity to recover at an earlier stage.

[kropotkindersurprise]

Dont worry the Dutch system is being actively destroyed by our america-loving right-wing parties, mainly the liberals, VVD, with help from their christian and fascist friends.

[queeranarchism]

& Dutch bosses/companies are still gonna be shitty in whatever way they can, including but not limited to:

Forcing you to attend consultations with a company doctor, pushing you to travel to attend your consultations.

Trying to get information about your illness from the company doctor (= illegal!).

Interpreting company doctor reports about your capabilities in bad faith, trying to force you to do more work than you can, etc.

Guilt-tripping you if you don't recover fast enough.

Trying to blame your 'lifestyle'.

If you think you are being fucked with by your boss: check your contract, check your CAO, and ASK YOUR UNION.

[queeranarchism]

#The Dutch have a pretty solid history of labor organizing and socialist resistance #so I give 'em good odds at fighting off the neo-liberal import

We're trying our best mate, but we've had nothing but right wing governments for the last 24 years. Union organizing is alive and kicking and there are some victories, but so much is constantly being destroyed that it feels a lot like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back, over and over for 24 years in a row.

the state does not need to assign you a sex, nor does it need to keep inalterable record of it btw

[mousidy]

a very interesting terf objection to this one boils down to "but how would the state know who to protect?" because it speaks to the incredible privilege of being in a class the state actually ever remotely wants to protect. most oppressed groups do not want the state to have a registry of them, lol

[mousidy]

the patriarchy has done a great job convincing white cisgender women that it's in their best interests to maintain it
