like I'm sympathetic, it's hard work, it takes some degree of mental organisation and physical capacity that is not equally accessible to every human being on earth. I know. but regardless of how much you can do and how often, you will get better results across the board if you can frame it as positive effort towards a better situation instead of perpetually self flagellating for having the sin of being a solid thing in physical space that steadily accumulates dirt no matter what just like everything else on earth

for the lovely lovely deafies out there who want to get involved in direct action you absolutely 100% cannot ever bring a hearing aid or cochlear implant with bluetooth to any direct action. bluetooth devices all carry a unique signal that can be used to identify you if it's picked up at a direct action. go with a [more] hearing buddy and communicate in sign language. if you don't mutually know a sign language then come up with gestures. do not risk your freedom because you want to have your hearing aid/cochlear implant at the action. it's not worth it.

flock cameras are also now tracking bluetooth device signatures when you pass them. if you drive past a flock camera with your bluetooth-enabled hearing aid or cochlear implant, the flock camera knows you passed through

Wait I just realized this is gonna apply to all cgms and most if not all insulin pumps. They’re all Bluetooth devices, it’s essential to how they work

I did not think it possible, but I have just developed even more hatred, derision, and contempt for the perpetual surveillance state.

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.

It's very interesting the gendered double-edged sword of being believed about pain. People assumed to be cis men are supposed to tough out pain, repress it, tamp it down. You're not allowed to react to pain because it's a weakness. You're not that hurt, and even if you are, you cannot show it. But then people assumed to be cis women are supposedly weaker, so if you react to pain it's a sign that you're reacting to a lower threshold of pain. You're not that hurt, you're just a woman.

And it's wild because men and women both, cis and trans alike, are so convinced that they are the only ones not believed about pain, not allowed to express certain emotions.

When disability is a connected factor, then there is even greater disbelief, backlash, lack of patience. When mental health is a factor, there is an even greater assumption of low tolerance or delusion. When race is a connected factor, then suddenly Black people are meant to have a higher pain tolerance, so they are allowed to suffer more. Self-medication is expected in some areas, and forbidden in others. Access through financial means is a barrier to care.

There's so many layers to the concept of "I'm not allowed to react to my suffering" that are all true, but every time there is someone making gendered arguments of "UNLIKE MY OPPOSITE" I have to call bullshit. Cis men and women do it to each other, they do it to trans people, trans people do it to each other, and to cis people.

Everyone's pain is being ignored, no one's needs are being met, because we are participating in a hierarchical system that tries to imply inherent superiority, and if anything dampens your assumed superiority then you're weak, and if you can do anything to challenge your assumed weakness then you're a threat.

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

Friend of mine calls it active listening. Ah yes we are speaking of tooths. I understand and respond. Here it a tooth image. I have heard you.

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

I'm old enough to remember GamerGate and the rise of "Anti-SJW" slop (yes, I know it was only 10 years ago). You know who the cliché "cringe SJW feminist" was? What they painted women and queer people who fought for their rights as, in order to ridicule and silence them?

Pixie cuts. Body hair. Either buff or fat. Violent. No makeup. Deep voice. Small breasts. Usually lesbian. Either a butch cis woman, a trans man, or a trans woman with exaggerated "manly" features like a beard or a cartoonishly pornographic bulge.

But sure, the Patriarchy always rewards masculinity no matter what. Keep believing that.

genderkoolaid

"Either a butch cis woman, a trans man, or a trans woman" and nonbinary people. Let's not forget about who "I identify as an attack helicopter!" was particularly mocking, & generally how much binary non conforming pronouns and presentation was targeted. What's being described above is textbook misandrogyny.

it’s kind of crazy that “he has a sadness in his eyes you only see in Eastern European gay porn” took off, because the joke is, like, exclusively about people being sexually exploited due to miserable economic conditions.

libertineangel

Unfortunately to the majority of this site Eastern Europe is not actually a real place full of actual human beings, instead a vague concept where everything's grey and miserable and (to the slightly less ignorant) full of violent ethnic tensions, and if you try to explain why that's the popular Western conception of the place and why things got so miserable from the late 80s onward they'll just call you a tankie

Actually I'm not done talking about Elliot Page. You know that tweet that's going around that goes like "I always thought he was a terrible actor and hoped he would get better after transitioning but he is still bad" and people are touting it like it's peak ally behavior and I really don't get how they can't see how it's blatently an excuse to shit on him but woke? He's not a bad actor. He's never been. Even if you thought so before, how would you judge the difference? He's been in two badly reviewed seasons of the umbrella academy and five minutes of the odyssey, because transitioning just so happens to be bad for your career? Moot point bc he is not and people are just foaming at the mouth to be cruel to him without being accused of transphobia and it's clear as day.

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.

"disability isn't a social construct because I'd still be dis-" Hey maybe before you poo-poo the entire foundation of critical disability studies learn the difference between "socially constructed" and "not real". You can't pride yourself on being "pro Disabled" and not have any actual interest in Disabled theory or liberation.
