Every time I remake the same post about how the people typically portrayed as being "poor" in pop histories of the georgian and regency periods are really just lower level gentry and it's insulting to the lower classes of the era and also just not true to describe them as relatively "badly off" I get ninety billion people saying that actually wealthy white english women in 1810 did have it bad as though it's a trump card, so I would just like to ask everyone to join me in a group exercise where we all put our heads together and see if we can think of a group of people to which "poor" and "woman" could possibly both apply

It was often miserable to be poor in early nineteenth century britain and ireland: true ✅

It was often miserable to be a woman in early nineteenth century britain and ireland: true ✅

It was often miserable to be a poor woman in early nineteenth century britain and ireland: thankfully this one is not true as women only existed in the upper classes and therefore the heights of oppression for women were such horrors as "arranged marriage" or "only had one servant" and not "arm torn off in a factory machine; no recourse of any kind as women aren't actually legally allowed to be working at that factory and early workers rights movements were male exclusive" or "indefinitely imprisoned in a lock hospital by the government as a prostitute, the evidence being that she was living on the streets because she couldn't afford rent." learned this one today from my tumblr notes

It's so fucking infuriating that Trump can make a post comparing transgender people to domestic terrorists and say "we will find you and we will kill you" (verbatim) and aaaaall the news articles in the entire world are busy debating whether he REALLY meant to say that or if its being taken out of CONTEXT or if it can LEGALLY be CONSTRUED as a threat. And meanwhile our actual sisters are being murdered in real time for the crime of *checks notes* doing laundry in public. When will these chucklefucks wake up and realize you're wasting time debating his intentions and all the while the only thing he gives a shit about is whether his most loyal worshippers realize he's just greenlit our public genocide?

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

[esthermika]

this is annoying as hell yeah, but you can also move the captions, make the text and background transparent, or make it bigger., etc. youtube's caption ui settings are pretty comprehensive, but i feel like most people don't even know they exist. the only problem is I think they're pc/web only? idk i don't use youtube on my phone anymore.
