I think I'm gonna start calling it "CBRN ordnance" instead of tear gas, pepper rounds, et al. Just to hammer home the point, y'know. "The cops used teargas against the protestors" You mean the regime deployed proscribed CBRN ordnance in order to pacify the dissident citizens

[catgirlwarrior]

i think it's important that this stays with the post

[biteybeast]

i do think its really convenient how they name this shit so nonthreateningly. "tear gas" awwww it makes you cry a little haha. wrong. you can go blind.

[natalieironside]

"Gas that makes you go blind and gives you chemical pneumonia and respiratory cancer" just isn't as marketable, I suppose

update as of 11:04 EDT, via Reuters

Thousands of Venezuelans are feared dead. The U.S. Geological Survey, using predictive modeling, estimated that the death toll would most likely rise to the thousands, with a substantial probability of exceeding 10,000. For now, the official figure given by Rodríguez is 164 people confirmed dead and nearly 1,000 injured. The authorities have not given an update for more than six hours.

Please redirect your attention to @carpenter-sab 's post. It has links for donations for relief.

Perhaps I haven't paid enough attention, but I haven't seen anything online or in the news about this, or rather, I've stopped seeing anything about Palestine, and that's unfortunate. Keep in mind that Israel considers the Palestinian government and many humanitarian and charitable organizations to be terrorist entities, which automatically labels us Palestinians as terrorists.

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

this pride month, keep the disabled queer people in mind who can't celebrate pride the 'regular way' aka by going to parades and lots of events. keep the homebound, bedbound, and other disabled queers who can't go in mind. those people who see everyone else party and are unable to attend. text them, wish them a happy pride, visit them and celebrate in a way that works for them. it's already hard not to be able to go to all of these events, it's even harder to be left behind because of it.

[this-is-trans-joy]

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

[this-is-trans-joy]

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

[aanonymu-s]

Id like to point out how before trans people became part of the popular discourse, feminism was kinda devoutly AGAINST bioessentialism. One of the big things people were pushing for is that women are just as capable as men, that there wasn't some fundamental difference between sexes that made a meaningful difference in what someone was capable of.

Now that trans people are part of the discourse, a lot of people have fallen back onto bioessentialism as the easiest justification for transphobia. This rhetoric isnt just harmful for trans people, its regressive for feminism as a whole. Nobody wins in a bioessentialist world aside from the people trying to uphold the patriarchy

[bugbraiin]

One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.

[gothvince]

i talk about transitioning and all anyone ever says is "I hope you don't regret it" what if instead we said I hope you love it. I hope it's everything you ever wanted. I hope you live the rest of your life in utter bliss. etc etc.

[gothvince]

I hope you transition and I hope it's the best thing you ever did and I hope you never look back and I hope you finally feel comfortable in your own skin

I just wanted to add this quote from the peppermint patty peanuts wiki page about Charles M. Schulz and his relationship with his gay cousin. The source here leads to a book that I did not read but the original source is Schulz's wife who confirmed this in an interview. If I can find the interview again I will link it here but uh. just in case someone tries to claim Schulz was a homophobe on this post again.

I get posts from politicians having to condemn the attack, but "political violence has no place in our country"? Really? This country? These USA? Are you sure?
