i dont get megan haters who say shes lying. Like. Imagine hating such a fucking queen, wtf

no listen she's definitely a liar. she's lying about being bisexual she's lying about being shot she's lying about liking anime. no this definitely isn't racist or sexist or biphobic they definitely have normal reasons to hate her and think she's lying about everything all the time.

people will read books they Do Not Like™ and then wonder why they hate reading

[typewriter-worries]

"i don't like long books" read short ones. "i don't like prose" try poetry. "i don't want to pay for a book i might not even like" go to your local library.

reading is the hobby that you make it; make it something you like.

[typewriter-worries]

seeing this mentioned in the tags, but for the love of all that is good and holy please stop making yourself read books you don't like. you know yourself better than any curation or recommendation, if you're not enjoying it, you can put it down.

reading for leisure is supposed to be fun. you can't have fun if you're actively robbing yourself of joy while you do it!

[rjalker]

if the book is crap then just stop reading it. Don't let anyone tell you you have to finish every book you start. some books are just crap and you're better off not wasting your time on it.

throwback to when I tried to explain how incredibly important wording is in law and legalese. trans men should have access to abortion, paternity leave, healthcare etc. if legal documentation says "women/females" now have access to this or that, then that means legally, trans men, especially those who have changed their gender marker to "male," are not included when they should be.

it's that simple. that's why wording like "those who menstruate / those who give birth / those who have this anatomy" is necessary.

"little things" like gynecologists thinking there's been a mistake or a prank call and cancelling appointments with trans men because the ID system shows them as "male" with a "traditionally male" name also stem from this. and actually that's NOT a little thing, that's fucked! that's being barred from healthcare because doctors don't know or believe you exist? erasure and invisibility of trans men is a problem, not a convenience.

i do not have and will never have an iphone but i've been watching hugh jeffrey's videos where he keeps exposing apple's cartoonishly evil anti-repair practices and whatever you think they are doing to keep people purchasing new devices, it is astonishingly worse.

jeffrey's releases videos every time there's a new iphone where he tries to switch parts between two brand new, straight-from-the-store working phones and shows how apple has serialized the internal components so multiple phone functions are disabled when a part with a different serial number is put inside it, effectively killing third party repair, as well as scraping non-functioning phones for parts, while iOS deceptively claims that it is a third party part and it is locking the phone for "safety" purposes.

apple was also exposed recently for not only shredding half a million traded-in phones, but taking the company they were hiring to do so to court for failing to destroy products and instead selling some of them on the side 💀

this video jeffrey posted a month ago puts side to side the claims an apple technician gave at a legislative hearing when speaking against oregon's right to repair bill, and jefferey himself demonstrating that they were, well, lying out of their ass. it doesn't have nearly enough views imo so i'm sharing it here.

in short: stop buying apple products if you care about the right to repair, reducing e-waste and human rights.

the exploitation of cobalt mines in congo is fueling the fire of genocide; people are dying in the thousands in subhuman slavery conditions every day while apple does everything in their power to stop people from repairing and re-selling their products while claiming they are committed to reducing e-waste.

we need to be committing acts of t[redacted]ism against corporate greed but in the meantime withholding your consumer power is the bare minimum

honestly you cant tell me pipboys dont have a cigarette lighter function. this is culturally cold war americana. everything was made with smoking in mind because the cigarette lobby had the government by the balls. pipboys would 100% have a part whose sole function was constantly being hot as balls so you can light a cig on it. and yes it would be extremely easy to burn yourself on.

As far as I know, Sonya Massey's mother has explicitly asked for no donations. I don't know if things have changed, but the bottom post is from a day ago.

This fundraiser is verified. She made that post BEFORE the family had released their official GoFundMe with the help of their lawyer. Screenshots from the cousin of Sonya Massey’s Facebook page and a news article which was crossposted to USA Today and other news outlets

they/them is not an all-inclusive pronoun that you can use to refer to anyone just because it is gender neutral.

the very basic sentiment of "don't misgender people" seems to go over even the heads of trans people and cis people alike when it comes to they/them pronouns.

not everyone wants to be called they/them. if someone strictly uses she/her or he/him or she/he or neopronouns etc. anything that is not they/them.... using they/them would still be misgendering. in the same way calling someone who doesn't use any other pronoun that pronoun would be misgendering.

You don't get a free pass to call people whatever pronouns you want to call them rather than the pronouns they use just because they them is a gender neutral pronoun.

also not all nonbinary people use strictly they/them pronouns or they/them pronouns at all.

i feel like this is very simple yet is misunderstood by a lot of people

everyday white women complain about weaponized incompetence with men and everyday they turn around and do the exact same thing to poc

[nibeul]

“I didn’t know what xyz meant!!” why on earth would you repeat it then without looking it up first if you didn’t know the meaning. google is right there you can use it.

“How am I supposed to learn if you don’t educate me?” once again, Google is at your fingertips, use it for the love of god.

“Well I can’t find any sources on [this topic]” found four within a minute, you just want poc to do the labor for you.

“Being mean doesn’t mean you’re right!” “You’re just aggressive!” “Well if you don’t want to have an ~civil~ conversation..” “You’re overemotional” do y’all even hear yourselves. Like do you never stop to think that maybe, just maybe the shit you’re parroting sounds a little familiar?
