The fucking movie didn't just have Nani sing Aloha Oe to Lilo because it was a soft Hawaiian song

She sang it to Lilo because it's about the American goverment tearing apart the nation and her peoples by imprisoning and threatening Queen Liliʻuokalani and her people so she would be forced to hand over her homeland under threat of destruction

Its a scene about how Nani and Lilo's situation is a microcosm of the suffering of all of Hawai'i and her native people as colonialism is continuously perpetuated against the island

AND THEN THEY REMAKE IT AND HAVE NANI GIVE LILO UP TO THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WILLINGLY AND FUCK OFF TO THE MAINLAND

We have a lot of voices on the gender critical side who have done extraordinarily well with bringing attention to how young people with autism and same sex attraction are disproportionately at risk of falling victim to trans medicalization. We rarely hear about how foster kids are disproportionately more likely to identify as trans.

According to the Cass Report, foster kids made up 25 % of gender clinic referrals yet foster kids only make up 0.67% of the general population.

This means foster kids are 37 times more likely to identify as trans than other children.

Foster kids often experience severe trauma, including neglect, abuse, and instability. Trauma can lead to dissociation, identity confusion, and a desire to escape one’s past, which might make some more vulnerable to seeing gender transition as a way to start over.

Foster children run a huge risk of specifically being sexually abused. Either before or after removal from their home. And we know SA alienates people from their bodies.

Sick of this fuckass blog. Males aren't lesbians. Get over it.

I'm looking through some anti genital preference posts made by trans people right now and I'm genuinely baffled. These people love fetishes and kinks, right? They think it's completely okay to have any kind of fetish, and that no fetish is inherently bad? Right??? And yet they're going on and on about how being a homosexual is a genital fetish and that's it evil and disgusting. It makes no fucking sense lmao

So amazing that the pride events in my city include “queer” events and “trans” events but the words lesbian, gay, and bisexual did not appear once. Love that.

The erasure is everywhere now. The lesbian/bi night I went to in my college days is now "WLW" and male inclusive, the word "Lesbian" doesn't appear on any of their flyers.

One of the shelters I used to work at now no longer has the word "Women" in its name either, despite women being the victims in over three quarters of domestic violence incidents.

"Cis privilege" is a way for males to say that women have privilege over them in order to silence them

Remember when everyone knew the YouTube CEO by name and blamed her personally for everything wrong with YouTube when the CEO was a woman? And how when she was replaced by a man people didn't do the same to him despite YouTube getting worse and worse? I wonder what the reason for that might be 🤔

I’m going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says “something is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.” A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the state’s interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industry’s interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. It’s saying “there are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.”

This isn’t directly related to your point but I’ve been thinking about euthanasia lately so I wanted to bring this up as well.

I see liberal support for euthanasia as connected to support for things like prostitution and surrogacy. They are all seen as issues of bodily autonomy, and many uninformed supporters don’t look past that to see the societal issues at play. In fantasy land where everyone is in control of their own lives, there’s no reason why they can’t do whatever they want, even extreme things, to their own bodies, but we don’t live in fantasy land. You can’t consent to sex if there is a financial incentive and you can’t consent to suicide if you have the want to commit suicide disease. And you also can’t ignore the way that poor women especially are funneled towards survival sex work and now state sanctioned euthanasia

She's right and she should say it

notice how women never ever get the "what if they're neurodivergent" treatment ever. where were the "before you call that woman in distress a karen, consider she might be having an autistic meltdown!" posts.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
