Right? Can we find him a copy of See Spot Not Do a War Crime? Or maybe If You Give a Nazi a Cookie? Or the classic A Very Hungry Proletariat (eat the rich)?

Are you taking suggestions bc this Daikon in my fridge has been talking shit

He can't even buy his favorite soldiers shoes that fit

Sun tzu might be too advanced

Ah yes the Dark Clerks

Very handy with a paperclip in a dark alley or so I've read...

Hope isn't some fragile bird that comes to you in your darkest hour

Hope is like Christmas
It only seems ✨magical✨ when you don't know about your mom behind the scenes doing the work to make it happen

And now it's our turn to do the work

You still seem to be waiting for saving (re: they should be flying city to city)

Focus on what you can do
Maybe find an org to work with (like the working families party) and donate your time and labor in a way that works for your life

We will save us
But only through combined collective actions

First principles babee!

(You literally taught me that word)

Me logging off of social media

Me logging on to social media

Maybe instead of demanding transparency for the illegal war we could... And now stay with me here... Remove him from office?

Transparency doesn't solve a tyrant
Removal does

Golly gee wouldn't it be nice if we had a governing body with the authority to remove him...

And I don't give a rat's fart about what Marx said

Imo he was an accelerationist who glorified centralized production

He was also a virulent homophobe and I just don't think we should base our "better world" on the words of someone who if he existed today would probably be a 4chan theory bro

Hey I know it's not like super fun and chill of me

But if you talk about artists as petite bourgeoisie without making any distinction between the small biz solo artist and those with prime gallery space and millions of followers

I just don't think you understand shit about actual class dynamics

Every day he does an impeachable offense and y'all don't issue articles of impeachment is a day where you ALL decide that whatever he just did isn't an impeachable offense

Doesn't matter if the vote wouldn't carry
Submit articles of impeachment every time

You are beautiful! I love the way this soft lighting brings out all the delicate tones in your face especially with the bright shade of your lipstick contrasting with your dark hair and clothes. So pretty!

It's the best! Having someone you trust so well is soooooo incredible 🥰🥰🥰

My very cool and incredible wife @michaelann.bsky.social has a paper about weighing decisions and navigating visibility with algorithms like this that you should check out!

Is your friend drowning in some life event ? Don't ask what they want for dinner say "I'm getting dumplings" and they will too.

When my wife feels overwhelmed what I do is say "hey I'm gonna just start making some decisions and you can veto anything that doesn't feel good as many times as you like"

And then I demonstrate that I won't get mad when she vetoes something

It's fun and gets very silly and sweet very quickly

Oh dear lords of Kobol I would pay so much in micro transactions to never have to play as some generic-ass dude bro again

Also fat versions!

Let me be a big fat asshole dyke in a game and I will give you all the money

One of the more true things ever posted to this website, IMO

If you're requiring an abused minority group to always account for the feelings of their abusers when discussing how they've been harmed, that's being what we in the social sciences call "being a bigoted, abusive jackass"

I don't actually have to know shit about the situation to believe that the women with the lived experience of transmisogyny know how to identify it when they see it

Respect the epistemic authority of marginalized people

It ain't that challenging of a concept

Hey just an FYI if you're sharing a story in a comment section about a time when your behavior was wrongfully called transmisogynistic don't ever expect me to believe that the trans women calling your behavior transmisogynistic weren't 100% correct

I will side with trans women
Every
Single
Time

And in this conversation now you are also dismissing and deflecting rather than considering and look I get it I hate when Internet strangers call me out too

But calls to self reflect aren't a punishment

Good luck and I hope you do actually reflect if only to figure out how you were so misread

You literally brought it up and I didn't ask for explanations

I told you to take trans women seriously when they say your behavior was transmisogynistic and to spend some time reflecting why they might have said that

Bc you appear to be dismissing them by how you talked about the situation

Okay then I think our priorities are too different to have a productive conversation here and I'm choosing to move on

I am COVID cautious and I push for precautions regularly and I have never been called transmisogynistic for my approach

Which might be a difference in who we are interacting with

But you should take hearing that seriously and not dismiss them off-hand

IME it's not something thrown around lightly

While I support asking for Covid precautions I think if you were told your behavior was transmisogynistic you should spend some time reflecting and figure out why bc I can almost guarantee it wasn't solely bc you were pushing for Covid precautions

It may have been HOW you were pushing
But idk

Yes this exactly!

I also think if you're gonna do that work you need to not come into comment sections calling out transmisogyny and expect trans women to engage in carefully and nicely instructing trans men on how to be less shitty

Bc that expectation is also a form of misogyny

That isn't the part that was reading as defense but ok fair enough

I don't think you have bad intentions and I hope you can hear what these ladies are saying

Good luck building inclusive spaces I 100% agree we need more COVID cautious organizing spaces
