"job hunting" is such a misleading term. i think if you were actually allowed to release prospective employers into a dark forest and chase after them with spears and hounds and horns and crossbows and guns and shoot them and kill them and hurt them, looking for employment would be a good deal more tolerable

this man saw this little girl, who in his mind could only be a victim of a trans person’s violence, telling him that she, a trans little girl, wants to feel safe from CIS people in the girls bathroom. he had his world turned upside down. by the way that he continued to use the correct pronouns does give me some hope that this may have opened his eyes though he is an old politician so, doubtful.
that awkward moment when you discover something about your personality while listening to an audiobook about a serial killer 💀
me: chat what do we think
the angel and devil on my shoulders: can you not call us that please
I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.
You all are so 100% certain you know how to identify radfem and T(W)ERF rhetoric and can’t possibly fall victim to it but guess what.
They are nowhere near above pulling this shit. And you all are falling for it.
And if you think that screenshot is an isolated incident, think again!
There are countless radfem and T(W)ERF blogs that I’ve blocked that said ‘secret radfem sideblog’ in the description.
Like, it’s great that we’ve made being a T(W)ERF so unaccepted on this site that they can only be open about the most toxic of their views in secret side blogs rather than on their main, but it’s time to accept that they’re taking advantage of that in a really fucking insidious way.
Just a tip on how to recognize these blogs. If you follow someone and you start getting suggested t*rf blogs that’s a good sign the person has sideblog for that stuff. There was some cowboy blog I followed a while ago and I used to get follow suggestions saying “this blog is similar to cowboy whatever” and it was a ton of t*rf shit and low and behold they ended up outing themselves
This is why we learn about what actual TERF ideology is. Saying “trans women are women” and “TERFS not allowed” and putting “TERF destroyer” or whatever in your bio is not enough. Learn how TERFs actually work, and what they believe, and where it stems from, and how they express diluted versions in order to warm up non-TERFs to their ideas.
Do the fucking work. Unfollow/block people who express TERF ideas even if they don’t label themselves as TERFs, challenge those ideas in your community, and you won’t have to worry about secret TERF blogs anymore.
Just in case you happen to be unaware, some of the “radfem lite” they post to warm you up to their rhetoric, just off the top of my head:
Ace/aro exclusionism
Bi exclusionism or claims that bi people are “less queer” bc of “straight passive privilege”
Saying you have to be dysphoric to identify as trans
Invalidating nonbinary people
Calling queer a slur regardless of context, saying people can’t identify as queer, and saying that it can’t be reclaimed
“Mogai hell”, “kweer”, or otherwise mocking less common labels and claiming they are “just cishets who want to feel special”
Excluding sex workers from feminist discussions or claiming that sex work is inherently evil
Basically anyone who thinks they can determine what other people identify as
The following are some red flags I’ve seen:
Men are evil
Women are pure
Black and white framing
Talking about separating the communities
Only this group can use these words
Lesbians are better than bi women
Straight women deserve/should not be surprised if they get abused
Panphobia
Think of the children
Anti kink
Cringe culture/who let these weirdos in/calling people freaks
I just saw a girl on tiktok talking about how her Palestinian grandma won’t be able to renew her passport with her place of birth as Palestine. She will have no place of birth.
Tell me why people were trying to compare it to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia etc.
My whole ass family was born in Czechoslovakia. Guess what. They now have a passport in Czechia/Slovakia, depending on where they lived. They have a country to call their own. They have some of the strongest passports in the world.
Palestinians are intentionally being eradicated. Their land bombed and stolen. Please educate yourselves before you say bullshit on the internet.
Don't stop talking about Palestine
Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict
Like it's been said before that when Israelis and Zionists cry "why do you single out Israel?!", they should in fact be reminded that Israel singles itself out. I mean, who commits violence at this magnitude and then bemoans being the victim??
The fact that he’s not actually struggling but just learned a habit from watching his human buddy snap bamboo is so precious.
wish i could go missing for a little bit and no one would freak out and then i could come back and they'd be like "did you have fun going missing" and i'd be like "yeah, thanks" and then i could do that every couple of months or so and it wouldn't be a big deal
Being a little too cold: brrrr i’m a little too cold !!!
Being a little too warm: i am going to kill the next person who makes eye contact with me.
There is some pretty shocking footage out there of the Baltimore bridge collapse early this morning. I've already seen some incredibly wrong, incredibly insensitive Hot Takes about how shitty the bridge was to have fallen after being bonked by a boat, etc
Please don't be that person.
The facts will come out. Speculation is silly. In addition to loss of life, the Francis Scott Key bridge was a major arterial in that region's highway system. Its loss will be felt for years, and not just to daily commuters.
Baltimore harbor is closed. No shipping at all. This will impact supply chains in ways we cannot even assess yet.
It's pretty fucked up.
Hey y'all, Baltimorian here.
This is a huge fucking deal and if we can't get the harbor clear and operational and shipping contracts move to another city, they will never come back.
That was an arch suspension bridge. What happens when you knock down one strut of an arch? You know, an arch, the engineering principal that relies on distributing force across a specific shape?
That boat was 95 fucking tons.
The boat put in a mayday call to the port, allowing them to shut down traffic on the bridge SAVING TONS OF PEOPLE.
The construction workers are the ones we still can't locate and everyone here is furiously working to save them STILL so it's fucked up beyond belief when everyone from outside is wanting to talk about everything else first and I have hella respect for our mayor and governor for just laying that out when asked.
There are legit critiques you can make about what kinds of engineering could have been done to shore up against this, like more dolphins (special piers that act like traffic poles to keep boats well away from the supporting struts of the bridge) or maybe bumpers, but unless your ass has an engineering degree and can show me your work on how you would keep a 95 ton object traveling at 9 fucking knots and knocking into one leg of an arch suspension bridge from destroying said bridge, you need to sit the fuck down.
If you're worried about people here, there's not much you can do at the moment but you can sure as hell lobby your senators and congresspeople to support Biden sending money to Baltimore to fix this. This is a huge problem and we just do not have the money to fix it. It took from 1972 to 1977 to build the Key bridge and will take that long or longer to replace it. I'm sure there will be lots of talk about corruption and other bullshit but what I've seen so far is the people of Baltimore showing up and showing out for our own, lining up food trucks for first responders, church groups going with potluck food, local boats and helicopters helping in the search (which again is still active).
cats would be so fucking upset if they understood they were missing out on the ability to lie verbally
i tthink anyone who has ever gotten in trouble for using a red cross as a medical symbol in their video game should change it back to a red cross until the UN starts actually enforcing the gd geneva convention.
