something i have to remind myself is that the average person kinda sucks and most people often have bad takes, and that's true for small minority groups. and obvi, the smaller the group, the smaller the sample size ppl meet. gender is also like a weird thing, since it's intertwined with physical and social difference, and we're living in a moment where i think both corporate and political interests are vested in amplifying what differences there are for their own gain. and, i think a lot of ppl early on in transition just don't understand how to navigates themselves and the world, but idk
so, just to help you diversify the pool of women you know that are trans--i've got winter leg hair, and a whole lot of angst about how profoundly diluted a lot of feminist discourse is in america right now, even in academic circles lol
JD once said Trump is America's Hitler; I always assumed he had changed his mind, but maybe he still believes it and the only difference is that JD now considers Hitler to be a model to follow.
Someone mentioned that leather is obvi very hot in full sun, but one other small detail missing from this discussion is that it being so hot becomes a bigger problem when you're wearing shorts, skirts, etc. that expose skin on your thighs where they make contact with seat. Obvi, with current fashion standards this effects women way more then men, and has always struck me as one of those invisible, little ways that the world is designed by default by/for men (like with seat belt safety, high stools for presenters, etc.)
I feel like there's a disconnect between "crime" and building communities of mutual aid, respect, and love. Also there's an irony in focusing on the qualitative nature of property values in this kind of space? Regardless, the vast majority "crime" doesn't really help anyone--stealing someone's bike for resale is shitty, shoplifting from a local store is shitty (and tbh even the big ones bc then they pull out of the neighborhood, leaving us w/o a pharmacy), and tagging stuff up is a shitty exercise in ego-boosting. IDk, I think people have a right to feel safe in their communities no matter the affordability of housing
This is what you get when you put someone in charge who was raised and educated inside India. This is not India and we dont want it to become like India.
I think we can acknowledge this man's poor behavior and systemic misogyny in India without painting over a billion people as unqualified to lead or as dangerous to our country's cultural character. I have several of friends raised and educated in India, now living in the US, who are quite feminist--almost certainly more so than the average American citizen, especially given near half of Americans will vote for a sexual predator for the third presidential election in a row.
consume. you will be happy. just consume more. you need these things. consume. fuck the environment. consume. you will not be good enough without our product. consume. wrap yourself in the narratives we create about who you are by buying or not buying our product, subsume your understand of the world under the one we give you, prostrate yourself upon the altar of pseudo corporate idolatry, consume. consume consume consume.
i feel like every time i try to watch weekend update that one guy (the one who isn't scarjo's husband) makes a misogynistic statement and everyone pretends like it's a joke for some reason and i quit watching snl to do something much richer with my one wild life
an intelligent, nuanced take in a shitpost space that recognizes the importance of touching grass and loving your neighbor and building structures of mutual aid? I didn't think I'd live to see the day 😍
"cursed is the ground because of you;
in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread
until you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
you are dust,
and to dust you shall return"

the wonderfully bizarre amount of detail (like the reporters on camera right outside the site) is what makes it so good to me
