I would actually say there are about 8 mega cities in North America:

Mexico City

Los Angeles/San Diego/Tijuana

Miami/Orlando/Tampa

New York/Philadelphia

Baltimore/DC

Toronto/Hamilton/Buffalo/Rochester

Chicago/Milwaukee

San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland/Sacramento

[queer-as-city-folk]

New York, Mexico City, DC, and the Bay Area are the only ones on this list with adequate REGIONAL transport

[queer-as-city-folk]

Los Angeles needs better transport connections to the Inland Empire and San Diego, plus Tijuana needs rapid transport in the city

Miami needs to massively expand metro rail while Tampa and Orlando just need to get rapid transport, plus Brightline needs to be extended to Tampa

Chicago is fine on its own for transport, but when you factor in Milwaukee and South Bend, it needs a lot more transit

The Canadian Side of Toronto/Buffalo is decent, but the issue is the American side where Buffalo needs to expand their rapid transport, Rochester needs any rapid transport, and Intercity and cross border connections are needed by both

[ego-tempestas]

in what universe are Buffalo and Rochester part of the GTA

[queer-as-city-folk]

I'm including them because GO connects to Niagara Falls ON and the US side is part of the Buffalo Metro and I just like Rochester

[the-tired-tenor]

I can accept Tampa/Orlando tentatively, but Miami is way too far separated from either of the others for all three to be grouped together

[queer-as-city-folk]

Floridians hate me

[the-tired-tenor]

I was going to say "wrong" and then I remembered that I don't identify as Floridian

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria is such a weird theory because it's like there's a very obvious explanation for why middle school kids who didn't have dysphoria before might suddenly have dysphoria. Like huh weird I wonder what very obvious and widely known change that could cause kids to suddenly become very uncomfortable in their gender or sexual identity starts in between the ages of 10 and 14. Guess we'll never know. Must be peer pressure to *checks notes* become the only gender minority in your whole school singling you out for harassment by your peers. Couldn't be puberty suddenly giving you new body parts/bodily functions that are wrong for you.

#reminds me of when 'my child was Perfectly Normal until he got vaccines and Now He's Autistic'#no your child just got to the age certain social and developmental skills become apparent#and that happens to be a good age to give them certain vaccines (@dilfhershellayton)

Dude congrats on being the first person to have a new and interesting observation on this post. Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. It's the desire to blame something external for who your child is because if you accepted the very obvious developmental explanation you would then have to admit that your child is a different kind of person than you instead of a mold-able mini me that you can force into your idyllic little nuclear family box you were imagining when you had them. Bigoted parents are terrified of their child not being exactly like them so they have to pretend that something like vaccines or peer pressure corrupted them. So much so that they'll put them through bleach treatments or conversion therapy or whatever in an attempt to fix them before they'll allow their child to be who they are.

Doesn't it chap your ass that transmisogyny, after being coined, is discussed in academia by women who study feminist theory professionally and know what they're talking about but men care more about bullshit terms coined on fucking Tumblr.

[bloomingrefinery]

maybe trans men are excluded from academia?

[kiwineverdies]

Saying this to a transmasc uni student in gender studies really takes the cake for stupid. Congratulations.

[mousidy]

surely this can't be! the only possible reason misandry isn't taken seriously by academics would be that men are excluded from academia!

[strawhatsufi]

it would suck if trans women were excluded from academia. fortunately that only happens to men

[umbras-lunar-palace]

They cannot fathom that maybe they're the ones in the wrong and so they must create increasingly elaborate and nonsensical and easy-to-disprove excuses about why people who are well educated on these subjects do not take them seriously.

lol

this is from a study of sex workers, the broader rates are basically equal, which is still a point against bloomingfinery's argument

You can fight ICE by annoying them

Mess up their food/drink orders- Lose their tickets/reservations

Overtighten lug nuts, strip spark plugs

Give them incorrect but real-sounding information

Record them with your phones

Disrupt them with loud noises (car alarms, music, banging metal) and bright lights (flashlights, headlights)

Shame them

(fuck yeah)

The fascists want complacency.

Do not give it to them.

(fuck them white supremacists )

It is your right to make "Mistakes"

In the modern retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, Hermes informs us that the love of Hades for Persephone is what made the world turn; however, the poet Fredrick Mercury informs us that fat-bottomed girls are what makes the world go around. These seemingly conflicting perspectives suggest that Persephone was, in the modern parlance, dummy fucking thicc; in this essay I will

Technically true.

[zetrystan]

The farmer sheared the sheep, and it was used to make a gift for Wolf Hunter, so…

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter goes to the village markets.

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter and his conga line of sheep.

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter was looking for them for a while.

[zetrystan]

Not a werewolf.

The disappearance. 🐑

[zetrystan]

The worst snowman.

As you know, counting sheeps is perfect for sleep. Sheeps take that job very seriously. But some are still learning. It’s fine, I don’t think Wolf Hunter minds. 🐑🐑🐑

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

[jewish-joy]

#i love prayer plants but they're fussy so I don't keep them#can we have a picture op they're so pretty

Behold, Dorothea

(Naming my plant "Gift of God," and then giving her to a seminarian with just the explanation that it's a prayer plant? Okay, that's my bad.)

[jewish-joy]

I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.

He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"

So Theodora's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.
