Dreaming of a world where we treat people with enough respect that we try and teach them things we understand so they can teach us how to do the thing better for them

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

Genuinely fascinating how often the gendered words for spouses basically just translate to “all powerful dictator and master of the home” and “woman”

Flora blocked me. 😿

Those Necromundan basements won't fill themselves.

The way 40k introduced female custodes and got a bunch of "auuugh female space marines" despite clearly spelling out that custodes are not space marines seems like a good reason to pull the trigger on just straight up forcefemming Titus already

Isaac's deconstruction of the 'privilege' framework here is desperately vital because it's no longer used as a tool to name and identify vectors of oppression, but rather a competitive bludgeon through which we assert why others don't have it as bad as we do.

It has become anti-solidarity.

It has also been almost entirely detached from systems of power and inequality and become a way to list petty personal grievances.

Which is why you get absurd ideas and constructions like "being taught how to cook by your mom is a privilege third worlders have over Westerners". (Real example.)

Cassandra etc.

Misread as "Autism" and I was like what?

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting back....

Over 3,500 people have taken action in less than 48hs.

We need to make sure the government listens to us, and we don't have much time. Will you join us?

absolutely wild ass shit to write this article and not one single mention of transphobia.

the guardian is shameless.

How's *your* evening going?

Now that's what I call sealioning.

Volume 15.

With an enormous frog cock?

She explained that it was for Zionists who chased Molly Shah off of Bluesky.

Which was perfectly clear, hence my "And me, apparently" comment.

What isn't clear is why Kermit who'll pass out if he gets a glimpse of Piggy is the medium of this particular message.

Hence my question.

This is how we get AI slop.

You: this debate lord bullshit is irksome and tiresome.

Me, celebrating you realizing the futility of your approach here: 🥳

You: I see you are leaning into sea-lioning.

Me: I'm not sure what you think sealioning is and I'm kinda scared to ask at this point.

Yeah but there's a gap in that otherwise compelling story. Why frog cock?

So then like do you think the artist is deliberately transgressive or unintentionally incompetent in their relationship to the rules of Muppet, amphibian, and penile anatomy?

I was fairly explicit about the scope of my original question, which was limited to whether there's some significance to the frog-cock-poster of the frog-cock they posted that I'm missing.

it could be a glimpse into an alternate universe where everyone looks like a drawing, have massive genitals, and move so slow they appear still.

🥳

Wait so your argument is that the artist genuinely believes that a) frogs have cocks and b) that they are roughly the length of said frogs' bodies?

People are way too invested in the professions of whoever renders their impossibly huge frog phalli.

It could be a vet, or a president, or a very angry former muppeteer who doesn't care about the NDA.

Or your average fr0g pr0n artist but that's less fun.

One must know the rules in order to break them. 🧐

why are you so mad at the democrats for agreeing with republicans instead of being mad at republicans for not giving the dems anything good to agree with
