@politicky-tacky
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.
😩 i cant deal with this dawg
So you don't have to Google everything like I did
Wh-why is the crotch of the illustrative drawing censored???
touching my penis for good luck
you kid, but it *is* quite literally touching your balls, not for good luck but to ward off jinxes. like, someone will mention illness or something tragic that might happen, and men will automatically touch their balls out of superstition
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
I’m glad that OP:
1) Figured this out.
2) Shared so others can learn from their mistake.
excerpts from erin in the morning's article on the ioc's ban on transgender women and sex testing policy
The fact that they're not testing men says it all.
Wikipedia articles for the two athletes mentioned who committed and attempted suicide. Horrible.
maybe there never were any twin towers. like did u ever see them?
So I know all you kids are joking around but no, you’re not allowed to make jokes about this. No.
Can’t just leave this in the tags, @the-starboy-symbiont
All of the above, plus:
For years after 9/11 we were constantly told “NEVER FORGET” and the idea was basically “keep feeling sad and afraid and especially ANGRY forever; don’t let time dull your emotional response like it’s naturally supposed to; continue to justify the injustices by feeling this way all the time.” And the 3000 deaths were constantly pointed to as this huge deal that justified any lengths to go to.
And then Covid hit. And there were several points during the height of the pandemic (because fun fact, according to the actual definitions of a pandemic, *it’s not technically over yet!* ) where we were having a 9/11’s worth of deaths every week or so. And suddenly 3000 deaths were not a big deal at all. Instead of being enough reason to go to war far away and strip us at home of many rights too, they weren’t even enough justification to make people wear a damn piece of fabric over their face.
3000 people died once and now the government can legally wiretap anyone without a warrant, and hold people at Gitmo under suspicion of terrorism (no need for due process)… 3000 people dying every week but we should all still be going out to brunch and concerts and who cares about the disabled and immunocompromised?
Something in me broke. Make all the 9/11 jokes you want.
my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:
he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year
Chaotic good
NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!
this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work
malicious compliance is one of the best tools in the arsenal of civil rights activism
Always reblog for malicious compliance
sometimes following the letter of the law works even better than ignoring it.
keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it
you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity
And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“
Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state
All of this except:
More training absolutely will not and cannot reduce the number of disabled people cops kill.
Cops kill members of vulnerable populations because they can get away with it and are even incentivized to do so, not because they need more funding to learn to recognize and interact nicely with members of a vulnerable population.
A lot of these murders happen after a police officer was explicitly informed about the victims’ disability (see the case above!) and “wellness checks” on disabled people with their disability as the explicit reason for the call are frequently violent. In some wellness checks, police start firing without saying a single word to the victim.
Having disability experts available doesn’t help—see the case above where the police killed the social worker lying on the ground with his hands up!!
The issue is the incentives, not ignorance or insufficient funding. “More training” just means more funding, and we should be pushing for interventions that reduce police funding and their incentives to do harm instead.
Philando Castile: murdered for misinterpreting unclear orders
Sonya Massey: murdered for saying something that was interpreted as a threat
I don’t know if they’re autistic. They may not be. But they were both killed for something that could easily be an autistic trait, and they’re both evidence that police are a mortal danger to autistic people.
If you support the police, you can take your “autism awareness” and shove it up your ass.
MEXICO WIN!!! FUCK AI!!!
“There aren’t enough hours in a day.” There are actually. The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life.
The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works.
No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate.
Hawaiʻi is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know
Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands
Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage
Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting
Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse
The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through
Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.
If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind
I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate
If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it
The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.
It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start
I don’t really know how to end this
I just need to know people are aware
I need to know people are seeing whats happening
Dole the fruit company started the dole plantation in 1901 in Hawaʻi as the “hawaiian pineapple company”
Dole the fruit company got big from plantations, colonialism, and exploitation in Hawaiʻi
Dole the fruit company monopolized land for their plantations, exploited local labor as well as immigrant labor from the people they shipped in to work, and depleted the soil and introduced toxic pesticides
Dole the fruit company was the cousin of Sanford B Dole who helped overthrow the monarchy and became the governor of hawaiʻi afterwards
Dole purchased the island of Lānaʻi and made it tbe largest pineapple plantation in the world
Lānaʻi is now 98% owned by larry ellison, cofounder and chairman of oracle
Dole the fruit company had sugarcane plantations across hawaiʻi as well as pineapple
For over 150 years, millions of gallons of water were diverted daily from natural streams to sugarcane plantations on Maui
This caused irreparable damage to the ecosystem and is largely if not wholly responsible for how dry Maui is to this day
The dryness of Maui played a huge factor into the severity of the Lahaina fires
That control over water shifted political power to colonizers which aided them in overthrowing the monarchy
yes, dole the fruit company owns a dam in Hawaiʻi
they still have massive pineapple farms in hawaiʻi
The dole plantation on Oahu is now a tourist attraction where they’ll take you on the “pineapple express train tour” or the “plantation garden tour”
They turned it into a tourist attraction
Also: the dam is no longer at imminent risk of failure
BUT
that in no way means it isn’t still an issue
this is an earthen dam, not a concrete one
it was not meant to last this long
Earthen dams are weakened every time it rains. So even though it’s no longer at imminent risk of failure, the danger is still there
Earthen damns begin to erode once water runs over them
Here’s a good, local news article on this that @proustianrevelry linked in the rbs
Hawaiʻi's proposal to acquire the dam, and have taxpayers foot the bill for repairs, let the company off the hook.
