Every time a person calls someone a 'trans activist' as some kind of 'gotcha', (like they wont call you a trans person, you're a trans activist)... i feel "oh, so you're a racist white woman activist" or smth works in response.

Not to mention that the patriarchy hurts men too- stuff like in divorce, even when the man would be the more capable parent custody often goes to the woman because it is assumed as the mother, she's the better parent. When men are with their kids, "oh, you're babysitting today?"
Exactly, you have to be the "right" kind of man. And they say we don't have to put up with social requirements of how to look and act but WE DO??? It's gotten better but there are still tons of people - men and women- who will mock a man for crying, or make fun of him for being SA'd.
Like, I would fully accept "I asked a friend of mine who is an electrician/knows electric systems, and they told me" because they actually have lived experience. This is just "I asked someone to google for me and summarize rq"
Exactly. I always urge people to flip the genders before they make a statement about men, and think about how they REALLY sound. I often hear ppl say it's awful you have to remind men "your mom is a woman", but we have to do the same to women often.
Seriously... no difference between her and any other person who tried to convince people that a group of individuals with a particular trait are to blame for their problems. Godawful.
CHILDS YALL ARE EARLY
YEAH like "they would NEVER need to change sex because theyre perfect" like sorry i didnt know that my being trans was some kind of FLAW.
I still cringe every time I see artists, even queer ones, celebrating or making fanart for her cuz like... To this day I have not seen her come out openly in support of the queer/trans community and it gives me a lot of pause.
I didn't even have any trans characters at the time so it was weird and unprompted, aside from the fact that *I* was trans. I did find out this artist is still very religious, so I avoid the hell out of them still. I honestly wish I still had my old DA accnt and the messages, bc it grossed me out.
I still think alot about the time I asked an artist I admire if I could make an OC of one of her cool, shapeshifty alien species. She said yes! BUT!!! They can't be trans OR gay because in THEIR world everything is actually 'perfect'.
I just don't see it!
Looks like me when I had gallstone attacks. poor mushum.
I don't know WHO could do a good job of it mind, MAYBE Nigel Ng???? At least I'd like to see someone Southeast Asian, (like Chieng obvi being Malaysian), but yeah. I love Khan he's actually one of my favourite characters on KOTH.
I hope they recast Khan again in the next season of KOTH. Like, I get why they want to push to have actors the actual race of the characters but I really don't feel Ronnie Chieng pulled it off. Toby Huss' original is just TOO perfect.
I keep saying this is the solution. Rabid dogs get put down.
They look nothing alike!
A SINGLE use of an LLM is enough for me to say "you are garbage at your job and a waste of oxygen". Do it yourself. With your own hands.
Then bluesky should adress it and get rid of the dude since he's causing issues
They also forget the users can choose to ruin and make their site completely un profitable simply by being degens. See: tumblr
So like, is Why Elon's side account or something because I have not seen someone so immediately and without any question destroy ANY goodwill he could have had with a community since that fool.
Why is he here? Why does he have a job? Why does he think his opinion matters?
I imagine that there's a lot that are very intergrated with that HUUUUUUGE mushroom. Like if it died off, i bet most of the plant life there would sufffer! There's a cool plant dude I like who shares super fascinating stuff... www.youtube.com/@CrimePaysBu... He is super fun to listen to too xD
Even when i use like, dirt from a store! Sometimes spores can just float on in and find a spot!
Mushrooms are insane. Absolutely unwilling to not exist. I've seen them pop up in tarantula enclosures!
I dunno that sounds extremely Charlie Sheen lol
I'd guess that they were grouping them into South asian, even if its dumb ><
I think it's weird to have to declare race period but the East Asia / SEA seperation is p common iirc?
This is why I am skeptical about medical dogs to begin with- is there a group that checks in on them and makes sure they are properly cared for etc :( With no oversight.... you just never know.
