[miinaandeg-deactivated20240222]

the ‘what slurs can you reclaim carrd’ did irreparable damage lol 

[spacelazarwolf]

i’m sorry the WHAT

[miinaandeg-deactivated20240222]

Anon is incorrect, according to this super official source, trans mascs cannot reclaim any transphobic slurs: https://lgbtwords.carrd.co/

I found it last year when someone unironically linked my friend to it on twitter like: YOU CAN’T CALL YOURSELF A TRANNY IT SAYS SO RIGHT HERE 

edit: it also claims only Black lesbians can reclaim dyke which…is a helluva claim that I have never seen anywhere but this carrd lol pretty sure that was just to get people to be racist to Black lesbians for no reason

apparently this is what the Youths are using lol

One thing I love about Judaism is that long involved conversations about things like “can a zombie attend shul?” or “can i use my pet dragon to light candles on shabbat?” or “is meat from a replicator kosher?” are seen as completely normal.

[westsemiteblues]

Yes, but it should avoid contact with a Cohen if it can, and if the dragon is a Gentile sure, why not, a pet dragon is an ideal Shabbos goy, since it probably lives with you, and will get a kick out of helping. If it’s a Jewish dragon, though, no, it’s better for you to do it yourself rather than cause another Jew to violate Shabbat.

[bmidbar-deactivated20200410]

Wait wait… if a jew owned the dragon as a pet wouldn’t using the beast’s labor to light candles be pretty explicitly prohibited?

[westsemiteblues]

Good point. Is the dragon property, or is it a roommate?

[hagar-972]

I think it was ruled that one may allow a dragon to ignite a fire if (a) the dragon is non-sapient, and preventing them from lighting the fire would be animal cruelty, or (b) the dragon is sapient, non-Jewish and not in indentured service.

[ardatli]

And one cannot bring a dragon into a household for the express purpose of lighting candles at a later date, since the Jew would be directly benefiting from the dragon’s actions on Shabbat. 

But if the dragon just happens to live there already and feels the urge to light candles, it should not be stopped from doing so – as the sages said: “the same candle that benefits one can be used to benefit one hundred.“ (Shulchan Aruch HaRav, 276:6)

[truestoriesaboutme]

Now that Britney Spears is free, she’s inevitably going to do something weird and off-putting because she was in a long term traumatic situation with very little control of her life and getting your shit together is hard in the best of times and that does shit to a person and I’m genuinely afraid the public who has been rooting for her for so long is going to turn on her and even start questioning whether or not it’s good for her to be free of the conservatorship and people are gonna need to remember that the answer to that question is unequivocally yes

[rockshitty]

I support Britney no matter what she does. I don’t care if it’s weird. I don’t care if it’s not nice. I don’t particularly care if it’s illegal, even!

If she wants to do drugs, let the woman do some fucking drugs. If she wants to get super into street racing, fucking go for it, and let her suffer the exact same consequences as any other adult of sound mind and free will, the way she hasn’t been considered for the last thirteen years.

She has earned as big of a wild streak as she fucking wants, whether that’s a huge one, a small one, or retiring from public life forever and just being an ex-celebrity.

Britney is free. She has rights. That includes the right to be a total goddamn mess if that’s what she wants, needs, or ends up doing.

[narwhalsarefalling]

oh yeah have i ever told yall of the academic war i have been an unwilling soilder in for the past two years

[narwhalsarefalling]

okay SO. i have two professors that both teach this one subject, but different classes. they have different last names, so i didnt know this at first and espically since they are academic RIVELS at my school, but they are MARRIED. but for the past 8 years they have been in an academic WAR of geospatical sciences data. more accurately, the raster vs vector data debate. i am personally on the side of “both have their pros and cons and can be utalizied to the utmost efficency” but both professors are like, DEADLOCKED in insistanting one is better then the other

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.

and THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. have written no less then 30 papers that is basically like a “re: re: re: re: re: re: vector data is better then raster fuck you” but like, Professionally. and they leave stupid notes in the footnotes that read “Reguardless of Professor A’s opinions reguarding the efficency of Vector data, Raster data has a more efficant polygon computing rate and is the most commonly used program on interplantaring mapping” and its HILARIOUS

[narwhalsarefalling]

ive read all of their papers, and its basically like reading an email chain between a married couple arguing over the colors of the kitchen backsplash for their new home. its HILARIOUS. but obviously, because of their differnet last names and because they act like they HATE each other, NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE REALIZES THEYRE MARRIED

until like LAST WEEK

[narwhalsarefalling]

professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word “husband”

and obviously all the students are like “oh i didnt know u were married!” because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine

[narwhalsarefalling]

and shes like “yeah, its Professor A”

[narwhalsarefalling]

and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT

[narwhalsarefalling]

we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A’s desk was ironic because hes that type of guy

[narwhalsarefalling]

like, you gotta undestand. these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go onto trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in seperate cars and literally NEVER mention work at home. it is SO funny

[beez-n-crackers]

[disclosureday]

these middle schoolers are touring campus and one of them walked by me and said “hey what’s college life like” and i told him “it sucks” and he said “well it can’t be any worse than middle school.” he’s right

[not-mary-sue]

Take these words through your darkest hour, for though we maybe tired and hungry, at least we’re not in fucking middle school

#CisWithTheT Trends as Thousands Decide to Denounce Transphobia

Into reports of the sudden and wonderful blossoming of the #CisWithTheT twitter hashtag in Britain.

Some say it was a toxic BBC article spreading TERF lies that created the uproar, while others point to the  Dave Chappelle tragedy.

Regardless, suddenly a lot of cis people had had enough of the transphobia and came out in strong support of trans people. 

Here are a few of the tweets:

@SMichaelsonn: Cis lesbian here; I am not threatened by trans women using female spaces (where they belong) or using the term ‘lesbian’. What I /am/ threatened by is people constantly weaponising me against my trans sisters and policing gender non-conformity.

@SpillerOfTea #CisWithTheT currently trending at Number 4 in the United Kingdom. Because, as nearly every poll shows (except the ones conducted amongst 80 hand-picked transphobes), the majority of cis women support trans inclusivity, but are silenced by a minority of hateful bigots.

@KateHeywood8 I’m a CIS woman and am furious on an almost daily basis by the increasingly absurd actions of the toilet obsessives. Trans women are most definitely welcome to use the same spaces as me. Love to our trans sisters #CisWithTheT

@hotmessica__ I’m a cishet woman and I’m genuinely terrified of the GCs [gender critical feminists]  who try to reduce my womanhood to just my genitals and organs. I’ve been questioned in a toilet once because I’m tall, broad shouldered and dress tomboyish. GC ideology is a threat to all people #CisWithTheT

Link to open letter here!

@rhipratchett: Hate can not be allowed to win. Be better humans. Choose kindness, understanding and inclusion. I stand with the trans community today and always.  #CisWithTheT

@AffleckEmma: I am a cis lesbian and I am so sick of seeing people who normally don’t give a damn about lesbian rights (and who are outright homophobes) tweeting #IStandWithLesbians because they want to claim all trans people are predators. Your bigotry is not progressive. #CisWithTheT

@23rdspiral: I’m a 40yr old cis woman. Until last year I had an amazing elderly relative who transitioned when I was a teen. It never occurred to me she was anything other than herself. I miss her. Trans women are women. GCs don’t speak for me their ‘feminism’ is not feminism. #CisWithTheT

It seems good cis people have had enough of the constant barrage of transphobic falsehoods produced by trans-exclusionary radical feminists and  right wing extremists. Good people see and feel the suffering this propaganda is causing among trans people. Many of them also understand that this is a repeat of the homophobic rhetoric of yesterday.

Keep up the good work, cis allies. This is helping!

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

If you’re a UK resident please sign the letter and complain to the BBC! We cannot continue to let the TERF stronghold on British media continue.
