This is a long thread, buckle up.

Last year I was working for a nonprofit that "supports" trans people. I was responsible for managing and training staff across two of the largest counties in California. 1/11

That is fair, I was maybe just being hopeful that greatly reduced amount of directed bully campaigns were not because those people are now in Portland/Chicago/DC/LA skull cracking.

The Internet has felt a lot more "peaceful" since that started.

That is what telling us "The only war is a class war" means.

Person: I got laid off because the company ended DEI and they said I was a DEI hire.

Person 2: it wasn't because DEI, they are just waging a class war to divide us. No war but a class war.

Of course it is, white cis dude show runner, and white cis dude lead.

The culture warriors probably never even had this show on their radar to turn their special breed of rabies on.

I am slowly purging them from my list as I see them.

Okay lets test your theory.

Joy Reid gets fired from her show. Some outcry, dies out.

Kimmel gets fired, and Disney feels the wrath of white people and unfire him.

DC Gets invaded, gets a couple of days coverage.

Portland Gets invaded and is dominating BlueSky and News.

Maybe stand up better?

I really really hate the "no ware but a class war" whenever an issues impacting marginalized people who are not cishet and white comes up.

"Like, I hear you. Your issue doesn't matter though, only the social oppression of the masses... no I am not participating in the that, why do you say that?"

I just hadn't seen the TERF bullshit yet.

Part of my job is to have a broad base of "knowing" and I have caught little stuff kicking off before the bigger guys got it.

It is about that diversity for me. I view this as a learning platform to discover news and new interests.
lafleursauvage.net
Not too bad, although I am pruning my follows.

I am on the discover tab mostly though because it is more useful for the work I do.

More insidious take.

The groups he is targeting know who they are. By announcing this, he triggers their fight or flight and they either go deep underground or act rashly and give him an excuse.

Once one of them musses up, no one questions when the four person club becomes a terror network.

I am more worried about them doing what mercenaries typically do when they stop getting paid. They don't stop fighting the "enemy" they just get more violent and start raping and pillaging.

So... Ask the Latino to platform a white dude instead of dedicating that time to the Latino himself.

At least the right knows when their bias is showing.

I fully support women in power. When those women in power use that power to protect a serial rapist and pedophile, while also safeguarding that man's spearhead to harm women of color...

Well then she is going to get called out not only for doing what dudes would do, but for pulling that ladder up.

Yeah the use of actual racial slurs disguised as LLM jokes is a problem. That is just people sidewise stepping into causing pain.

Calling a LLM a toaster ain't a problem.

Especially when so many people are fine calling women a bitch or dropping trans slurs like they are going out of style.

Won't be the first time Texas starts a war by invading others illegally...

I hate when a composer is like: I want ONE extra sixteenth note here, and instead of shoving a dotted note in there, I am just going to change one measure to some obscure time signature and bounce back.
lafleursauvage.net
Yep. I've never seen this level of outrage about calling women bitch, or using common slurs for trans people.

I guess the fucking AIs have more rights than me.

The people who are butt hurt over "robot slurs" have no problem with calling women a bitch, so...

They can stuff that opinion until they view women as deserving of the same linguistic respect as fucking robots.

Oh IM E will speed that up a bit.

There is also a lot of trans woman who experience the GI symptoms of a monthly cycle once they start IM. Mine were crippling until I started Progesterone, after that I had much more manageable times, mostly.

Still want to die every so often.
lafleursauvage.net
Fair. I didn't want needles either. Honestly I'd prefer a once a month type thing (Like we see with BC, and some other meds) that you stick to yourself.

It would also create a more natural hormone cycle. You'll understand what I mean in a couple of weeks on injection.

Progesterone helps.

I was thinking a little further down the pliers :-p

I think he did. It is disjointed, unglued, and doesn't really say anything.
