I. Am. Disgusted. SIGNAL BOOST this!! This is unacceptable! We need to remember what pride is and what we stand for.

The gall of these people trying to call the cops on a black trans woman at the Stonewall Inn on the very anniversary of the riot (I’m sure they totally understood the irony of it) and then call her the fascist.

It’s beyond parody. This is why I’m sick of Pride being treated as a corporate party rather than a protest and why we need to teach the history of our movement because this is either appalling ignorance or outright and open bigotry.

For those worried about the crew having to do a whole job just for one person, flight staff only get paid for time they’re in the air; if he’d cancelled, they wouldn’t have gotten paid for zip.

So in other words, he gave them an easy day where they can spend most of it on break, and also airplane staff should unionize.

Also the plane likely has to get to NC somehow so you might as well have fun with it

i just remembered this British backpacking youtuber wanker who went to chechnya (he straight up said it like “chech-nyar”) and he was getting a taxi ride and complimenting the car and saying it meant the guy was rich and this Chechen guy was like “you’ve come here from England and can pay for taxi rides, you are rich. I’m literally a taxi driver” and the guy got so fucking huffy about it because his whole brand was how low cost tourism he was. really helped cement my dislike for cunts who go to a much poorer country, start acting like they’re in and savvy with the locals (while gentrifying their eating spots etc) and getting all white guilty about their position as a tourist with money in a strong currency with strong wages. what a cunt.

or like ppl going to thailand or Vietnam and being like “holy shit can you believe it? if you pay enough you can shoot a cow!” like of fucking course you can. you’re the Yankee tourist waving US dollars around for whoever fulfils your stupid requests. no matter how much you want to feel better than rich tourists you’re still wealthy compared to the lady giving you a manicure or the guy riding the bike.

really makes you wonder why they’re so shocked about sex tourism, like of course you can do depraved shit you’re waving money (valuable money too) in front of poor imperialised people. it’s almost less empathetic to be shocked by it than to understand why it’s such a common thing.

and the attitude that tourists get like “oh everyone’s just after my money” and paranoia around getting robbed like of fucking course people want your money you’re wearing a luxury watch in front of subsistence fishermen, you’re showing off how much money you have even just as a regular citizen of empire to people who’ll not only never see a cent of it, but who actively are exploited to make your country rich.

rich cunts i went to school with boasted about having a house in Vanuatu and their mum complained about “how dirty the natives are”. actually evil. like knowing how much easier it was for them as rich Australians to buy a house there than the people who literally live there. fucking hell.

hot take but “kill all men” and similar proclamations that all men are evil and inherently bad is not feminist and is only making things worse, pushing men to become like Andrew Tate. it is also removing accountability from men who are actually bad; “you can’t get mad at me, it’s in my nature!”

you are not helping anyone. not yourself, not women, not men. you are just hurting actual good people while the people you are trying to hurt are enabled. you are not turning people away from misogyny, you are pushing them towards it.

hating all men is not cool. it is not feminist. no issue is solved by simply reversing who is being affected.

it’s also so. weird? seeing this sentiment from queer people. this sentiment is anti-queer. there is no way around that. you are pushing men back into the closet. i’m a trans man but i denied it for years because of this.

you are not a feminist, nor for queer liberation. you are a fake activist who only cares about being seen as superior instead of caring about the wellbeing of people, and you’re lying about it.

my gf said this and it’s all i can think about while i play this piece of shit game. in the same way that elden ring and tears of the kingdom were very “seamless” games, starfield is possibly the most “seamful” game i’ve ever played.

when you do your first spaceflight, here’s the process:

1. enter ship. loading screen
2. liftoff from ship. loading screen
3. you’re in space now. open fast travel menu, select another planet. loading screen
4. you’re in orbit above the new planet. time to land. open fast travel menu, select landing zone. loading screen.
5. you’re on your ship on the planet now. time to get out. loading screen.

just. awful. awful. awful. unbelievably bad.

now, to be fair: you can actually just directly fast travel from any point to any other point. game doesn’t tell you this immediately. but i finished a mission earlier and just fast traveled straight back to the quest giver.

but. well.

that means that there’s basically no reason to ever use your spaceship.

Lead and Cadmium Could Be in Your Dark Chocolate - Consumer Reports

Hey I know a lot of people don’t have time to fully read the articles so I wanted people to know. It’s not just Hersheys, it’s a LOT of dark chocolates. This includes Theo, Tony’s Chocoloney, Dove, Endangered Species Chocolate, and many more. The list of safer options is comparatively small tbh. So be careful if you’re a frequent consumer of chocolate and maybe consider opting for either milk or white chocolate or one of the brands listed as a safer choice.

REBLOGGING THIS IS AN AMAZING ADDITION TO THE POST THAT NEEDS TO BE SEEN

Jesus fucking Christ is m&ms owned by nestle or some shit

Conveniently enough, no! It’s owned by Mars. Historically they used Hershey’s as their chocolate supplier, but that may have changed.

Autism has long been synonymous with “struggle”. If you don’t struggle, if you’re successful or you’re just happy with life people are less likely to recognize you as autistic, except for other autistic people.

I swear, we have an autism radar. Autie-radar? Autie-dar?

Continues to be true.

throwback to when I tried to explain how incredibly important wording is in law and legalese. trans men should have access to abortion, paternity leave, healthcare etc. if legal documentation says “women/females” now have access to this or that, then that means legally, trans men, especially those who have changed their gender marker to “male,” are not included when they should be.

it’s that simple. that’s why wording like “those who menstruate / those who give birth / those who have this anatomy” is necessary.

“little things” like gynecologists thinking there’s been a mistake or a prank call and cancelling appointments with trans men because the ID system shows them as “male” with a “traditionally male” name also stem from this. and actually that’s NOT a little thing, that’s fucked! that’s being barred from healthcare because doctors don’t know or believe you exist? erasure and invisibility of trans men is a problem, not a convenience.

there was backlash from homeschooling “parents rights” advocates in my area before because of a daycare teaching kids about consent…all they learned is that you don’t have to accept unwanted physical intimacy. one scenario that happened is a parent told her toddler boy to kiss a toddler girl in class. toddler boy comes back and says that toddler girl didn’t want a kiss. it turns out the kids were taught that you don’t touch someone if they say “no”. parents thought this was ridiculous. I felt crazy hearing them talk about it, why in the world would you be upset by kids respecting each others boundaries, and why are you asking your toddlers to kiss each other in the first place as if they’re toys and not human beings?

terfs keep mentioning the % of autistics who are trans/nb and that we’re ‘brainwashed’

and because i’m an asshole, i decided to look into why so many autistic folks are trans/nb. it’s not an inaccurate statement, at least the first half, but terfs lie through their teeth so i decided to get to the scientific root of it.

the answer blew my fucking mind.

the study on gender and autism i found said two very specific things about autistic people: we are more mentally resistant to things like social conditioning and binarism. we like our secret third things, y'know.

an excerpt:

“The finding that non-binary identities are most elevated seems to support hypotheses focussed on autistic resistance to social conditioning, which are consistent with existing evidence of the same effect with respect to self-description of sexual orientation. Perhaps elevated rates of trans identity in autism might result from a rejection of the binary cisgenderist norm, which combined with a below-typical concern for social norms could promote the disclosure of the identity.”

94% of autistics surveyed for that paper identified themselves as non-binary.

other studies have found autistic people have higher levels of critical thinking, and require more evidence to maintain or convert to a belief system (hence why many of us eventually fall away from religion) than allistic people.

which means, at least from my perspective, that:

a) the 'brainwashing’ terfs are accusing the trans community of inflicting on autistic folks would likely not even work if they tried.

b) the current binary definition of gender flies directly against embedded autistic modes of thinking to begin with.

you cannot brainwash someone into thinking something they already believe.

This essentially suggests that autistic people are likely to be NB because we are in fact resistant to the relevant brainwashing.

As an autistic person with a weird gender this lines up with my personal observation, which is that autistic people are not really prone to follow social norms that don’t make sense to them or provide them with any benefits just because.

There is an immense amount of cis allistic anxiety about this, because they like to think adhering to the gender binary is in the same natural-law category as “don’t kill someone for pissing you off” or whatever, and it completely isn’t, and our collective refusal to play ball makes something in them angry.

The typical allistic reaction to autists behaving unusually is to insist on controlling them, or treat their social “failures” as deficits of parental, workplace, partner, state, societal control. The idea that autistic people are “brainwashed” into being trans and nonbinary is in fact projection by people who want to brainwash autistic people to follow their stupid fucking rules, and are existentially terrified that they can’t seem to get it to work

“This essentially suggests that autistic people are likely to be NB because we are in fact resistant to the relevant brainwashing.”

Which pretty much reveals that they’re bullshitters.

They CLAIM to be “gender critical” and to want people to reject gender wholesale as a tool of social control.

Yet when ND people go “yep, that shit never made much sense, I’m something else” they suddenly weep for our lost femininity.

When we’re telling them we never had it.

We’re what they say they want, but they hate us.

Funny that.

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

RATING: RELIABLE
