Of, not if. FFS.

On another platform I blocked a Jewish woman calling trans people mentally ill and saying that genocide if trans people wasn’t happening.

I cannot abide a kapo.

They never know a damn thing.

I can read and write Hebrew. NGL, when Japanese media uses it to depict an otherworldly language or magical text… it gets annoying to put it lightly.

Toxic Christian bullshit forgiveness norms are terrible. Nobody should have to accept an apology if the harm wasn’t repaired and compensation wasn’t made.

Yes, you can bet your ass I’m gonna be on that exact same bus tomorrow. I took an earlier one than I normally do.

Goddamn, trans women are just some of the most beautiful creatures on God’s earth, aren’t we.

Good question. I have a friend who is a dispatcher for a rail line, so…

It can happen. It does happen. But there are lots of reasons for a track to have issues. Leaves are just one of them. And given the UK’s love of euphemism, my best guess is, they probably abuse it.

She got ready to get off. I managed to tell her “hey, you look really cool today”. “You too.”

Ah, life is good.

She has looked at me. Briefly. When you are on a Philly bus, you must be aware. ARGH. But I do not want to disturb, and I must get off soon.

Not like that.

AAAAAAH. This is so intolerable. I want to compliment her!

There is a gorgeous trans woman sitting directly across from me on this bus. She is intently highlighting passages in her book.
I want to distract her, but it would be rude to do so. And I am not at my best.

I don’t think Canada is going to save us.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

Quislings. Feh.

This isn’t insane or anything

The One True Shepard was an excellent choice. Dudebro Shep would be the guy telling the guy at the switch to not listen and pick a or b.

the purpose of a system is what it does

Conservatives: the market should provide healthcare

Those needing gender affirming medication: Yay. No gatekeeping if I do it myself

Conservatives: no, I didn’t mean you. Supply and demand applies to cisgenders only

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

I AM DYING

Overheard at work:
“I wasn’t listening to you, I thought that was a private conversation.”
“No, I was kvvvv-vetching at you. It’s such a pain.”

I avoided interjecting. Kvetch is one syllable though. Stretching it unnecessarily is weird.

(Also, as a trans woman, I don’t really do camp.)

Ooh, a good one.
My drag name would be Shawnda 40DD Goyim. But I know the wrong people would get big mad about it.

like Christians that discover that the Talmud exists are frequently like JEWS ARE SO VENAL, THEIR HOLY BOOKS ARE ALL ABOUT *MONEY*!!!

and like, they’re the legal and economic corpus for a functioning community?

y’all are the ones that decided to separate out religion from everything else?

I was at CPJ for nearly a decade, helping to free journalists imprisoned by repressive governments around the world.

Never in the US.

Trump is destroying American principles. Free Estefany Rodríguez now.

Begging these people to read my paper on how we should be evaluating evidence in a way that makes actual sense.

Let’s make this a JSky meme.
Combine a band or movie name with something Jewish.
I’ll start.

That fucking owl was part of some of my worst days of dysphoria. He pisses me off any time I see his ugly mug.

I know I broke my streak Duo, but an image of you crying with the caption "No more Yiddish?" is a bit much. I am not personally killing Yiddish because I have fallen off on my practice.
