it’s important to mock and belittle military and law enforcement to signal to others that these are not respectable professions, both to dissuade entry and to devalorize the institutions in the public eye

Some of y'all gotta uncouple your personal self worth from your thought patterns. Me saying something is a reactionary thought pattern and urging you to examine it is not me personally calling you a fascist lmao. Everyone has thought patterns and some of them are going to be reactionary since yknow. We live in a society etc etc
Yeah like. that’s not the same thing. we don’t do thought crimes here. All it means is, if it hadn’t occurred to you that these patterns might be reactionary or sexist or what have you, it’s an opportunity to analyze that and see things from a new perspective
This is low-key another reason why callout culture sucks cause without the ability to learn from your mistakes there’s much more incentive to deny them. It’s okay to fuck up and need to reassess stuff. I’m not a fucking cop. I’m not gonna sit here and condemn you to the dungeon because you said something stupid.

It sucks that when black people vent or speak up about our issues especially without sugarcoating kindness towards white people, everyone just sees it and actively avoids listening.
but a white ally can say the exact same thing and these performative ass people will sit their asses down and be like “I am listening and learning”
#noticing
but yes, black people have been proven time and time again that no matter how marginalized or privileged a white person is, they will stick to and flock with other white people over POC (subconsciously or not)
I’m not transfem, but my heart really goes out for black transfems/trans women who are constantly talking about their experiences with transmisogyny/misognoir and their ideas on transfeminism only to clearly get overshadowed and socially isolated. i have met a lot of black trans women recently and they are the kindest ladies ever.
likewise as a black trans man, in my own personal experience, it’s rough not only wanting to talk about racist degendering and how racism and transmisogyny overlaps along with black gender expression only to get shot down by white transmascs (who are probably transmeds or people who refuse to listen to other people’s experiences) while those same guys use the existence of black trans men and weaponize it against people. it’s exhausting.
Interaction from a nsfw furry discord server after the only other intersex member left (paraphrased)
Me: “Hey please understand that some intersex people are actually forced onto HRT as children and it’s often done in ways that make us sick or cause long-term trauma and distress due to the nonconsensual changing of our bodies. Please try to be considerate of people’s medical trauma and don’t argue ‘HRT could save you’ to an intersex person who already told you they’re uncomfortable.”
Furry 1: woah I didn’t know intersex was real that’s crazy
Furry 2: I don’t believe you there’s no such thing as human h*rms
Furry 3: so what do you want us to put a trigger warning on being trans? That’s ridiculous and transphobic :-/
Furry 4: it’s not that serious, it was just a joke and they took it too seriously
Furry 5: all these new rules for being politically correct are so confusing
Furry 6: can you respond to my dm I’m curious about intersex (asked for nudes)
Server Mod: woah forcefem irl??? (Eyes emoji) wish that could’ve been me honestly, sorry you didn’t like it tho
instead of either having a server be muted or unmuted discord should introduce a setting called special princess mode where the server is muted except ☝🏽 for one person that is your special princess and the emoji0oo990op09iop09i8o09i8op09iolp-09op-0opyujiko8o9i8ukol9iukolp9i8uki sorry. i got a drop of oil on my keyboard bc i was eating hummus with a little bit of olive oil earlier and i was cleaning that off. anyway and the notification icon is a heart. and they have to to call it that.

What they don’t tell you about getting into bird watching is that once you get into it, you do not get to decide when you bird watch. You can be on the beach of some distant tropical country with nothing planned except relaxing. But then you see a Common Fluttering Nut Buster and you’re like fuckkkkkkkk holy shit guys the Common Fluttering Nut Buster is not supposed to life this far west holy shitttttttttt
This is so funny I don’t even care for baseball but this is great
Yep! And what ended up happening is what we baseball fans call a FARTSLAM, which stands for Fielder Allows Runner To Score Like A Moron.
Plays like this are why I love Baseball
Hey, remember that thing about how one of the big challenges facing armies, throughout all of history, is training people to not start chasing when the enemy breaks and flees? Because sometimes it’s a trap to get you to overextend yourself? But it’s really hard because people just want to chase?
Something I found hilarious the other day was seeing one of those “I bought this before Elon Musk went insane” bumper stickers, except it wasn’t on a Tesla. It was on the most beat up 20+ year old Toyota Corolla I’ve ever seen that was missing three hubcaps and had no less than seven different dents in the rear bumper. yeah I do not doubt that you bought that one before musk went insane
things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:
an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn’t reply to my e-mails for months
he later delegated part of my master’s thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval
a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i “looked exotic”
a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us
things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:
being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position
male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before
lenience toward my work in a way I haven’t experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.
conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that’s very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.
like. yes some PI’s will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I’ve lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women’s careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.
After getting into the role of Woman in STEM I was told to be more “warm and approachable” at a pitching workshop because I focused too much on stating the facts about what the team I’m on was doing and where to go to read more about it.
Plainly stating the scope of our work was “overconfident”.
People routinely go off in the wrong direction when I say the name of the field I’m in, but I was told not to underestimate what people completely outside of it might know about the details of my work.
And that was after I made an effort to downplay my own contributions by attributing the stuff I did entirely myself to the team, not just the stuff I had help with
I keep seeing people call the Trump administration shit like “schizophrenic” and “psychotic” and can we fucking not do this please???? schizophrenics and people with psychosis have a biological and neurological basis for their behavior and beliefs. there is no biological basis for being racist and sexist and a monster. schizophrenics and ppl with psychosis are innocent. you can’t beat bigotry with more bigotry

It is so fucking sinister that the only form of child abuse that society really cares about is sexual in nature. parents are free to control everything about their child’s movement, presentation, eating, faith traditions, information exposure, socialization, and can restrict all of these things to an extreme degree as a form of punishment or in order to shape the child into whatever they want that child to be. and that’s all considered completely normal, the parent’s right! people don’t even see the fact that a parent has the power to control so much about a child’s life for damn near 20 years to be a problem. The only time they become concerned about child abuse is when the prospect of an outside stranger behaving in a sexual way toward a child is raised. and yeah a lot of really horrific sexual abuses are enacted unto children, but that’s because they have zero control over their own lives and bodies in any other way as well. It is all about power and control. and typically the ones who are abusing children the most frequently are the ones who have the most control over them, the parents.
i think there’s actually nothing better than being randomly told “I love you” after doing something characteristically stupid. Like what do you mean I’m a lovable person and I just did something silly and you thought “of course you would do that. I love you.”. No better feeling
We need to bring back private rail cars as the cool, sexy, exclusive way to travel, so instead of dumping the carbon budget of a small nation in the global south on private jets, celebrities have to attach their luxury pull an cars to the back of an Amtrak. Then the celebrities will lobby for Amtrak lines to be better
Seriously when did this
Become sexier than this
Like isn’t it nice to watch the scenery, to be able to open a window and have fresh air, to be able to stand up all the way, not have your ears pop?
