billions of dollars and untold environmental damage for this groundbreaking technology

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

what if it all worked out in my favour

[redstonedust]

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

sometimes i see an article or something and i'm like should i drop my hottest take of all time. because this is crazy

[nepenthean-sleep]

ok this is my hot take. ffs is misogynistic, and honestly kind of a pinnacle of transmisogyny and eugenics in my opinion. trans men aren't being told they need to have their whole face surgically altered in order to be "men" enough. trans women have the goalposts for their femininity set so far out that they're being asked to spend tens of thousands of dollars on their face as part of gender affirming care. this is legitimately crazy to me and honestly downright cruel. blood coming out of my eyes like the mary oliver poem "you do not have to get ffs. you do not have to break all the bones in your face to satisfy white supremacist misogynistic beauty standards. you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves (LOVE YOURSELF)" etc etc and yes i know WHY some trans women pursue ffs and i'm not shaming anyone who wants to get it or has gotten it. it's just such an insane double standard to me, especially when so many pictures of pre- or no-ffs trans women look exactly like any random cis woman to me. your face is already feminine!! it came free with your womanhood!!

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.

The wide variety of comments on the engagement announcement

[hyenaswine]

you can just say "person with ovaries." "an AFAB" makes literally no sense here, in addition to being grammatically nonsensical. sorry but this bleet has been pissing me off all day but i feel like if i reply to it i'll get it trouble.

[hyenaswine]

a trans man who hasn't had any ovaries for 25 years isn't going to experience perimenopause in his mid-40s, so why include him based on a gender assigned to him as a baby? like... he was a baby.

[hyenaswine]

like why bother acting like you want to be trans-inclusive if you're too lazy to recognize that sometimes, trans bodies aren't going to be the same as they were at birth when they got handed their baby gender

[t4tcommunistbimbo]

cis lesbians be like: yes, trans men can be lesbians because they have a special afab girly girl female connection to womanhood. and “transwomen” can be lesbians because anyone can be anything i guess. i am a respected ally of the trans community.
