So, apparently cis 'allies' need an explainer.
When you deadname or misgender someone just because you dislike them you are still perpetuating transphobia. Bigotry remains bigotry no matter who the target is.

But even aside from that 1/

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Hey. Hey you. Yeah, you.

Stop trying to fight fascism with fat jokes. Targeting people based on weight makes you an asshole, and honestly reflects a mindset that's a lot closer to those fascists than you'd probably like to admit.

it's amazing how easily you can hide exploitation from white dudes just by making a single extra degree of separation between them and the exploited... and by amazing i mean entirely self serving ignorance

A categorically new version of pornography centered on narrative while avoiding exploitation of sex workers and millions of liberal millennials inexplicably pretending like they're not going to use it

yo jeff, how do you think they got the training data for chat gpt to learn how to sext?

well, let's see how well the international community holds to that... israel: completely unchecked while committing genocide
russia: annexed ukraine... still going international community doesn't want to risk a war...
yup, really looks like your theory will pan out to stop the UK

Kinda, but then season 4 kinda flipped that around with the vecna thing, so it is kinda up in the air, i guess... i've kinda stopped caring though at this point, and am now only interested in who robin will get to smooch.

I dunno, seems like bluesky is more, go the blandest name possible and leave the community to come up with some cringe/silly name

And yet, nazi germany still did what they did. The threats, the appeasements, nothing swayed them from doing what they wanted to do. So, the lesson here is, do not put too much trust in treaties to stop an evil government from doing evil things.

Samantha @samantha42.bsky.social · 13h

I am suggesting the UK is genocidal, on account of all the genocide.

And, you've kinda undermined your own argument here... because very clearly the breaking of one treaty was not enough to lead to the destruction of the nazi regime.

After buying accessible toilet keys in small numbers pretty regularly - we have now found a bulk supplier that is 35% of the cost!.

This will help us assist even more people on low incomes for free - and enables your generous donations to go even further to help provide for excluded identities.

She isn't being slut shamed. She's not being criticised for having sex, she's being criticised for the unethical undisclosed conflict of interest in her journalism.

Also a bit weird he's against gays given he was in a 13 way polycule, exclusively with men.

This is such a hilariously unselfaware response to what i wrote.

Oh yeah? You think capitalism is bad? Here are some inventions you can thank capitalism for:

I'm not above replying "stop indulging in student politics, you are just helping Farage!" to centrists the moment the Greens are ahead of Labour in the polls. It will be funny EVERY time.

It wasn't economic sanctions that lead to that, it was a full scale war... and it got to war because sanctions don't stop genocidal states from breaching human rights.

I think you are severely underestimating just how evil our government are. They rushing to prove they are just as legitimate as the tories or reform by being as cruel as possible.

For the farages of the world, poor people dying because they cannot afford private healthcare isn't a bug, it's a feature.
