Whereas if you live in a conservative area, where suffering direct interpersonal bigotry is your biggest concern, those tolerance signals *mean something* and can provide a lot of comfort to those who need it.
I’m curious how ”signs are allyslop” people are geographically distributed relative to “signs are nice and good“ people. My hypothesis is that the former tend toward more liberal areas where LGBT tolerance signals are common and the primary political enemy is liberals compromising on LGBT issues
She is not a centrist. She's endorsed universal healthcare and she's one of the most ardently pro-trans rights politicians in America. If you think she's a centrist you're direly misinformed and you have got to educate yourself before you keep posting stupid shit about there being no good choices.
The trans NB employee fired by Chili's for being trans worked at their Rosemont, IL location. For all the furries out there, this is across I-90 from MFF
Y'all might want to avoid Chili's & Maggiano's, especially when MFF rolls around later in the year. I'm sure there's better places to eat out at

get some turkish adventurer-mercenaries involved. you will never regret getting some turkish adventurer-mercenaries involved
Christopher Clary @clary_co It's after midnight in the UAE and I believe that for the first in many days--I believe for the first time since hostilities began--the UAE did not release numbers on the total number of drone and ballistic missile strikes upon the UAE and their success in intercepting them. Quote Christopher Clary @clary_co · Mar 10 The hit vs. intercept rate for ballistic missiles and drone attacks since Feb. 28 for the UAE through today.

so they're out of interceptors, yea?
what always gets me about this is that companies that make a bit of a show of being "inclusive" get a dedicated customer base who will eagerly hand them money—and whether that pandering is good or bad is up to you—but there doesn't seem to be an upside to the alternative
Worth noting that "AI reduces labor demand" and "AI increases labor demand" can both be pitched with negative valence.

"This place broke something in us."
In letters and drawings, a mother and her five children held in the Dilley ICE detention center detail what they describe as neglectful medical care, inedible food and a disregard for their religious accommodations.
Putting a sign in your yard literally saying "I Support These Things:" isn't passive support by any coherent definition of "passive."
Tbh I think there is room for a discussion of effective allyship looks like and what it doesn’t, but I agree that this ain’t it
okay okay okay so
Neopets has a partnership with a company called Geekify for all physical merch. Geekify ran a kickstarter a while ago for a Neopets TTRPG and raised around 425K to ship a unique noncombat focused TTRPG centering around the existing Neopets world and lore.
A sign is a relatively virtuous way to do it. Your neighbor approaching you to say “I support your transition!” is an awkward interaction for you. Reading a sign on their lawn isn’t!
Everyone rolls their eyes and grumbles about dual-storage requirements and four-hour rated fireproof cabinets, but when the bombers are overhead,
Signaling to trans folks that you support their rights definitely has a positive effect on their quality of life!
Post: calling “you’re so brave” or “i hold space for trans people” or “my self work involves decentering cisnormativity” style rhetoric that is ultimately contentless and divorced from real concerns allyslop Reply: In This House signs, an allyslop classic
I feel like these are two different things, the In This House signs are a way for normal people to signify that they support trans/minority rights while the jargon is a way to tell people you've spent time in activist/academic circles
the more actual harm caused by a petroleum supply shock, the funnier it will be that some of trump's first actions was making it significantly more expensive to buy solar and EVs. Im sorry but its so, so, so funny
Oh please don’t make me think about wartime rationing policy combined with GLP-1 agonists
"folx" is the platonic ideal of allyslop, no further comments
I think a lot about how I benefitted from my parent’s book collections and how my most enthusiastic reading was never what I was *told* to read but what I pulled off the shelves myself
With that in mind, what would you recommend stocking on a bookshelf for a future child to read?
chat is it bad if fertilizer prices are up 45%
oh yea, look at urea prices [haber-bosch strikes again]
General announcement to literally everyone: you enjoyed being in your 20s not because the world was better, but because you were at your most attractive, physically capable, and at a peak of both personal freedom and lack of responsibility for others.
A gray embroidered hat that says “I had my sexual awakening during the critically acclaimed film ALIEN (1979)”
Feels like a good day for my best hat.
The diplomatic fallout on this could lead to a bunch of Asian countries realizing this is all America's fault, and that China is the more sane and stable regional partner. Can't predict how much this will fuck up trust for years.
the real cost of this war is going to be in asia, unfortunately (outside of americans paying more for gas)
