A little frustrated that I have to tap “like” three times to get Tumblr to register it, but if my finger hovers anywhere within an inch of a hod damn Polymarket ad, the app reads it as a click and pop open the useless fucker like a first responder with an epipen
“Haha! This conservative man who hates women and trannies dresses up in women’s clothes exactly like you trannies! What a hypocrite, right? Owned!”
My sibling in Christ, the most degrading, powerless thing he can imagine is a woman. Of course he’s a misogynist piece of shit who hates people who find normalcy or power in femininity.
the chiro field has been panicking about the cervical dissection and stroke thing for a decade (probably because several of the main cardiology/spinal specialty/neurology/? science-based medical associations put out an official joint statement along the lines of "we have been noticing a lot of patients showing up with stroke and cervical dissection following chiropractic adjustment so we thought everyone should know" about ten years ago, which is the strongest thing youre allowed to say against someone professionally in this context and should be read/interpreted as "do not fucking go to a chiropractor we are begging you") but theyre really really pumping out the volume of "nuh uh" papers recently. i read one last night that huffily asserted the most likely explanation for the correlation between cervical dissection and chiropractic manipulation was that the victims had cervical dissection already before they saw the chiropractor. this wasnt elaborated upon, nor was it addressed that one would THINK, based on their claims about their awareness of the human spine, a chiropractor would be able to spot a walking cervical dissection case in the waiting room and call 911.
Transmisogynist social dynamics incentivize transfeminized people to partake in transmisogyny when there's a designated Bad Trans Woman btw. There's a lot of pressure to condemn the Bad Trans Woman to cover your own ass, and defending the Bad Trans Woman can cause you to become a target as well.
Sometimes all it takes is not condemning the Bad Trans Woman HARD enough. I got eviscerated on Bluesky for lamenting how someone I’ve known for 20 years but has since become a popular punching bag has changed so radically, and how it hurts to see a friend lose their way.
In australia, we had this piece of shit shockjock radio host move to Melbourne and be awarded a HUYUUUGE pay packet in a brand new contract. This guy is a racist, sexist, misogynist, classist, piece of shiiiiit.
Well a melbourne community launched an an anti-advertising campaign against him. Listened to find out who was advertising during his show. Then called or emailed those companies to say, "Hey, are you aware that your product/service is being advertised on Kyle Sandilands show? Today, he said [heinous thing]. Is that what your company stands for? Is that what you want to be advertising next to?"
Folks------ advertisers left the radio station in DROVES.
We are talking multiple millions of dollars in advertising that was pulled from the radio station. The radio station is in an absolute crisis about it. Theres talk of firing Sandilands and just paying his contract out, because that will be cheaper than how much theyre hemmoraging from list ad revenue.
Targeting the advertisers works. It works fantastically.
You know, if we DO make contact with aliens within the next hundred years-ish, enough people are going to give the Vulcan salute to the first alien they see in real life (whether out of quivering excitement, lol memeitude, or sheer awkward, panicked grasping for the one prominent alien greeting nested in the social conscious) that there's a solid chance that it becomes a thing we're known for as humans.
I know this was meant as a joke, but it reminds me of my one trip to Japan. I crammed just enough Japanese language to be polite and apologize, which had the side effect of making the locals think I could actually hold conversations. And every I hit a word or phrase I didn’t know, without missing a beat, my brain would drop in the appropriate chunk from Spanish or German.
It was incredibly embarrassing, but a neat example of how non-sensibly the brain tries to adapt. So I totally believe humans would, without even thinking, try to be friendly by dropping in the one alien greeting we know.
So I’m drafting this post on October 19, 2022, hoping that I won’t have to use it, but getting it set up as a contingency. Just in case.
Lots of screenshots under the cut, but TL;DR:
I have two stalkers who feel entitled to my work and writing, and have been stalking me because I didn’t write their historical blorbos to their personal satisfaction and because I haven’t written queer characters to their exacting specifications (specifically, they want what amount to Gold Star Lesbians with modern-style adopted children). In the course of their stalking, they have made a hate-blog specifically to target me with insults, and when that failed to get a response, escalated to making a new AO3 account specifically to write hatefic of my work and “gift” it to me.
If you see this post having gone live, I ask you to please review it and reblog it, because I am preparing this contingency in case they escalate to the point of trying to publicly defame me, and if I’ve hit “post”, that means they’re actively trying to get people to hate me.
So, without further ado…
