Let’s also not forget the intersex kids who are forced into surgeries and hormones with no ability to consent.
Trans and intersex bodily autonomy NOW.
This. There are many intersex children who go thru puberty early, and most of the time intervention is chosen for us, not by us. Cis intersex children deserve autonomy too.
“The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I’m not a trannie or a fag so I don’t care, just give ‘em the medicine they need.”
“This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility.”
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.
Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.
honestly will never forget this older client we had who told me how her life had gotten so much better with time and age and asked how old I was and when I told her I was 28, she said I was just a baby and reassured me I had so much time ahead of me and how much better it’ll get as I grow into my life. There was such an indescribable amount of love and hope in that single interaction I think I’ll hold it with me forever.
I just did this, and Etsy doesn’t actually tell you anywhere on the site how to find your username (it’s randomly generated), which you need to opt out, so here’s how to do that:
(Waves this around in executives faces) wow it’s almost like profitable art happens without exploiting workers. Wow. Imagine that
Also it’s good. The movie is good. It’s nice to see something where you can tell the people working on it didn’t just love the movie, but had fun working on it. Let film making be fun instead of detrimental to a person’s physical and mental health
I’m gonna puke this makes me so happy to read. Idk. I just want more good news from the industry i’m going into
one part of the male gender role I can’t stand is thinking that being irritating and pissing women off is funny???? every man I’ve met thinks that’s hilarious and gets mad when I’m not into it. like why did no one teach them to shut the fuck up
Sorry babes but as someone who lived lug around 500 cds they can die. To me lps are at least pretty and pretentious like a fine wine. Cds have no point
the point is cds are sexy as hell. sorry you dont know what sex is.
The real point is that you OWN a CD. You do NOT own anything digital you purchase.
Google Play stole hundreds of dollars worth of music I paid them for from me by forcing me to upload it to YouTube Music (or lose it entirely) which is behind a subscription paywall, requiring me now to pay more money every month if I want to listen to MY music I PAID for without constant advertising.
You do not own anything digitally purchased. It can be taken back from you at any time and it is fully legal for big corporations to do so for some reason.
CDs can’t be taken from you unless they come into your house or car in person to physically pry them out of your cold dead hands.
That’s why the resurgence. As funny as that person’s reply to you was, it’s not in fact because they look sexy. It’s because you actually own them.
Look- CDs are your friend. CD-ROMs and CD drives with the capacity to burn? Are your friends with benefits.
Can anyone teach me how to burn Digital only songs into CDs?
i can ask my dad!! i think you need a certain piece of hardware, but i dont think its difficult!
It’s the Scooby Doo 50th anniversary and they just released a sequel to one of their best animated movies ever on the last full moon of Friday the 13th until 30 years from now. What a powermove.
I also want people to remember that Scooby and the gang was designed by this man: Iwao Takamoto.
An American artist who was forcibly incarcerated into the concentration camp when he was a teenager. He was eventually hired at Disney in 1945 but his family were still interned.
Here’s an interview he did with CartoonBrew from years ago.
Nurse: *pointing to my cane* Do you use that all of the time?
Me: Occasionally when I need it.
Nurse: So it’s not an accessibility issue then?
Me: …Yes, it still is.
Nurse: But not if you use the cane occasionally.
Me: ???
Accessibility is needed all of the time.
I don’t understand how accessibility can be viewed as a temporary thing and in this case, why she thought that I didn’t need any accessible areas and help because I used my cane occasionally.
Whether we’re using mobility aids or not, accessibility is a right that we deserve regardless of our current levels of mobility or impairment.
It took me 3 watches to realize the door is cardboard and this man is not just freakishly strong.
I assure you this is a standard interior door, usually only exterior doors are solid.
You can see the inside of the cardboard though.
This isn’t a real door, it’s a prop from a movie or TV set.
it has a paper honeycomb for rigidity, and that’s how interior doors are made for modern construction in the USA.
y'all have never kicked a hole in your bedroom door in a flurry of teenage hormonal rage and it shows
If I kicked my bedroom door I’d more likely break my foot than the door.
I always thought people punching through doors or shoving people through doors was just from the movies. Doors in my country are generally solid planks of wood, a polymer of sorts, or metal.
American homes are made extremely cheaply and aren’t built to last.
Steam from hot showers seeps into wall which are not treated to handle moisture, and mold grows in the walls.
Almost every wall or floor is made out of plywood.
Flimsy roofing that can withstand a run of the mill heavy storm, but not much more than that.
Weak foundations that wouldn’t hold up at all if it weren’t for how light and plywood-y the overall house is.
Not every American house is this shitty in all of these ways, but the vast majority of them are, and almost all of them have at least one of these problems. Even rich people’s homes.
do goyische english speakers even know how many words they use regularly are yiddish Do they even know
there’s the obvious like mensch and mazel tov and bris and kosher but also chutzpah and klutz and dreck and kvetch and tchotchke and putz and schlock and SCHLONG! DO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT ONE OF THE FAMOUS TERMS FOR DICK IS YIDDISH! what about shmuck or schtick or GLITCH! GLITCH IS YIDDISH! DO YOU GUYS EVEN KNOW THAT BAGEL IS YIDDISH
well, no, they’re loanwords. english does it all the time with all kinds of languages. café (french), bazaar (persian), and kindergarten (german) are all loanwords. it’s not stealing, because languages aren’t really capable of the malice that implies. there’s also nothing wrong with using words from or learning new languages. what really gets my goat though is when gentiles mock the way yiddish sounds while using its words without even realizing it
y'all gave us bagel AND schlong?!?!? omg…thank you jewish people…
