So uh........... my job went from "less hours" to "no hours" because HR figured out I was working remotely and (apparently???) the VP of the organization has to personally sign off on fully remote work, which hasn't happened and isn't happening. I can't find work locally, I've tried...

Please help?

a collection of sophie lewis' writings from the year on feminism, communism, queerness, politics of the body and desire. if you're interested in present day discourses & directions on the intersections of these (whatever your opinion), lewis has been at the forefront of comprehensive scholarship:

The thing is, these people don't really want military history (which incidentally can be social history, art history, disability history, economic history, and more) they want noble tales of White men fighting off dark skinned barbarian hordes, the subtext is very clear.

Adrastus: Mother, why do I have red-brown hair and brown eyes, and Persephone has white hair and red eyes?

Demeter: Don't call me mother. In addition your soul lacks anime so you get the boring colors.

100% she thinks it's a trans show, a sex show, or a trans sex show because the characters open their mouths and start speaking in Mandarin or Japanese.
i was putting on To Be Hero X to watch with my brother and my mom asked if it was a trans sex show. when i didnt answer right away—bc what the actual fuck?!?—she told me she didnt want to watch sex on tv, *especially* not trans sex

Okay they’re mostly better

And im packed to go see my Mom on Saturday

I just need to clean the apartment and successfully beg for tips to not get evicted and pay my monthly bills before I leave

Eviction during vacation would be ummm idk stressful as hell
covered my cracked and bleeding hands in lotion. Trying to make them be fixed in an hour or two so I can read and type and do things with my hands. It’s so hard to fix dry hands in the winter as a busy sleepy writer

Mel Curth was fired because she was trans. News orgs that do not put this fact at the from of their coverage on the issue are lying by omission.

Once again, media orgs are sane-washing what is happening here. She did not cite the bible, she vaguely alluded to it while never saying what the bible actually says on the issue. The essay has no citations whatsoever, which is typically disqualifying by itself.

‘The left’ can endlessly recycle the same three MLK quotes for decades trying to claim some kind of valid lineage to the civil rights movement, but the civil rights movement wasn’t just African Americans randomly having a march three or four times a year as ‘something to do for the weekend.’

Liberals love to say "you have to vote for democrats because they're the only thing standing between us and the fascist republicans" and then get real mad whenever somebody asks one to stand between us and the fascist republicans

Journalists posting screenshots of the Epstein docs should not crop out the control number in the bottom right corner. These docs are not an "exclusive," you don't have to make it harder for people to find and validate the original information.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

everyone getting back into pokemon stadium animations supports my theory that there’s a ton of people who would enjoy the gen 1 and 2 era they’ve just been talked out of even trying it ever since those gens got remakes

since liberals/centrists don’t live in reality, they are still blaming leftists not being centrist enough for the fascist takeover though, while they enable fascists at every turn. for them lying down and faking to be dead will always be the height of antifascist resistance.
Liberal aggrievement is at an all time high, which is especially funny when you remember theyre the people who put us on the road to fascism in the first place.

This is a stupid thread because I doubt it will change the minds of the people who do this shit but god it is agonizing. It's not just the theft or the insults or whatnot, it's the condescension when you point this out as people explain that you're just a stupid bitch who isn't enlightened enough

It honestly feels even worse when like I see people holding up those depictions as some kind of ideal to aspire to. It's why I get kinda pissed when I see trans guys going 'oh man I love being a femboy!'
Yeah sure pal, call yourself a sissy shemale while you're at it. It's so fun, isn't it

y'know there's a special kind of psychic pain I have to endure when I run into people who are looking at blatant transmisogynistic depictions of people like me and going 'oh that's such good rep! So GNC, so bold!' and refusing to understand that NO, THAT CHARACTER IS MEANT TO BE DEHUMANIZING

The whole definition of "HD" sliding every decade or so is so hard to keep up with.

In my retirement home everyone will be watching a version of HD we can't even comprehend yet and I'll be saying 720p is HD enough.

Cats were domesticated about 10,000 years ago, when wild cats encountered the first human settlements and saw an opportunity to constantly be in the way
