you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.

it bothers me (and I've seen Jewish people talk about this too) that when people are pointing out the hypocrisy of Christians saying they are "just following the bible" while not following the bible they use examples of laws in the bible that are just Jewish laws. they frame it as "no one does this, this is absurd" but people do, in fact, follow those laws. the people following them are just Jewish.
this pride month I'm gonna need everyone to be radically pro transgender and also pro intersex and also pro ace and aro spec peoples thanks
Not having a binary gender can be really hard. Especially if you present more masculinely or femininely but your gender isn’t the same. I see you, I understand you. You’ll find people who get it. You don’t need to feel bad about not fitting the norm. Gender and sex are more complex than other people think- there’s nothing wrong with not fitting into a binary that barely exists in the first place. You deserve to feel safe. You don’t need to be a boy or a girl, you can be you, and that’s ok. I’m not a boy or a girl either, we’re in this together, ok? We’ll get through this.
I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.
I don’t know if it’s just me being sensitive, but I feel like wheelchairs and other disability equipment shouldn’t be common centres of small talk. Like, I would massively prefer that people don’t mention my chair unless I bring it up/ it’s urgently relevant.
Even “complements” about my chair feel a bit weird. Unless it’s about something I’ve very clearly chosen for aesthetics (like “I like the stickers on your chair” is okay for me) just don’t mention it please. Even if it’s to say it looks cool and futuristic, it’s just another reminder that people see my wheelchair and disability (things I don’t get a choice in) before they see me and that sucks.
This also extends to other wheelchair users, especially if they don’t use the same kind of CRT powerchair/ otherwise use a wheelchair that isn’t a small manual chair.
Would it be safe to say that it follows the general rules of complimenting women without being creeps? Like the standard protocol is to only compliment things the woman has control over, ie "your legs are amazing" = freak shit, "I love your hair" = just nice
You mentioned stickers and presumably other mods. I often see wheelchair users with coloured spokes and decorations and stuff and I loooove complimenting them but I don't want to make anyone upset.
Similarly I also have seen some REALLY fun mobility aides (there's a guy with a Segway at my apartment complex and I've asked him about it before) is that the kinda thing that would fall into uncool territory? I'm asking all this genuinely as a person who loves complimenting strangers and wants to hone my technique lol
Speaking for myself I’d say that those are really good rules. Decorations like spoke covers or spoke guards, stickers and decorative patches are all safer territory than the type of mobility aid.
I’d be much more cautious around commenting on “unusual” mobility aids. It might be the first time you’ve seen someone use a Segway or powerchair with modified controls, but that person has probably had that exact same conversation multiple times a week. My powerchair isn’t that unusual and it’s a conversation I have most times I leave the house. And even when people are saying it’s cool or futuristic or technologically impressive it is still a reminder that for most people my wheelchair is the first thing they see when they look at me (and many people don’t look further than that).
It’s also worth bearing in mind that not everyone has a completely positive or neutral relationship with their mobility aid (and that’s okay). And what can look like luxury extras someone has chosen for their chair are often medically necessary features they have had no choice in having. I get a lot of people complement things like my wheelchair’s powered tilt and recline function or my tray mounted controller thinking that they are cool optional extras I’ve chosen to add to my chair to make it more comfy. But for me those things are associated with my health declining and losing the ability to sit upright unsupported and use a standard controller. Those losses take time for me to process and I often don’t appreciate them being pointed out repeatedly when I’m just trying to go to the supermarket or have a nice day out somewhere, even if someone means well by it.
Rather die as a tranny faggot queer than live as a sanitized, palatable "LGBT+."
I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"
this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file
I take it back whatever you have going on is way worse than what I was dealing with holy shit
@thesummoningdark hello?????
yeah no this is a real thing an actual human being said to me

The trans community should show more love to intersex trans people. Whenever I see a positivity post it almost always feels like it is directed at perisex trans people
About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.
It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.
So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.
So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.
Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.
The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.
... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.
Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.
Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.
And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.
OP did it hurt when Apollo's dodgeball hit you and made you write that story?
Would you in general consider yourself to be more or less intelligent than the people you interact with in your day to day life / in your environment?
.
Definitely more intelligent
slightly more
neither more nor less, pretty much on par
slightly less
Definitely less intelligent
intelligence is too subjective to be measured
i don't know

When I was in 5th grade a girl told me that “black boys couldn’t be pretty” it took me a long time to see something worthwhile in the mirror
And black boys ARE PRETTY
Hey all, while we're busy normalizing women with hairy legs, hairy armpits and bushy pubes, let's also normalize women with hairy upper lips, hairy chins, hairy side burns, hairy chests, and all the other places where women are supposedly magically hair-free.
