y'know, the person i heard it from was also mexican, and reading some other comments it sounds like 'latinx' actually came from south america.
i wonder if the maybe awkwardness for some latin americans but not others is due to the differing speeds the various dialects are supposedly spoken at?

i've heard that when aiming for gender-neutral, they prefer to be called 'latines' over the american-english coined 'latinx' due to the latter being weird/frustrating for actual spanish speakers to try to pronounce?
grain of salt though, have only heard this from one spanish speaker so may be wrong.

no, pal, someone with identical political goals to yours isn't on a different political side just bc y'think they're an asshole. some people are just assholes even when they mean well. humanity's obnoxiously talented in its ability to mix the two.
so can we please bitch at the fascist cunts instead

can the no true scotsman thing fuck out of leftism pls.
tired of the various meanings of every flavor of not-rightwing flipping according to individual interpretation, folks bitching about who counts as what and label this label that ffs will you just knock it off.

are they aware of how incredibly pathetic they look that they treat *random strangers not wanting to listen to them* as the same thing as having their speech legally restricted? or is it another one of those areas where they're stubbornly mad that not everyone is buying how they try to reframe it

the lichen looks like flower patches

if we could start whacking capitalism with a rolled up newspaper or something until it stops forcing everyone to pretend that humans are supposed to be diurnal that'd be great
like not even the ones awake in the day are properly diurnal. humans are biphasic with no natural uniformity of When.

do they think the guys with sexually satisfied gfs+wives are liars? because they do exist. they're dudes who listen to their partners input on their sex life and actually put the effort into learning to be good in bed.
ffs it is literally just a skill. it's not mysterious or unobtainable.

their posts that drip like thinking only a few will disagree, but like. dude. no. literally every. single. person on the planet. who has a vagina and is old enough for it to be functional. is going to see stuff like that and know 1, you're wrong 2, whoever told you they can't is clueless or lying.

hard to even sympathize with the idea many of them just don't know better because the dudes. are getting most their ideas from dudes who are mad that women don't enjoy them.
instead of asking, y'know, actual women. who it's about, and who and just as commonplace as men. when the internet exists.

i wonder how few of the dudes loudly insisting women can't orgasm will ever realize that they're just broadcasting to other singles that they're a lousy choice because they're 1. stubbornly disinterested in listening to their partner 2. take personal offense to the idea of learning to hump properly

it's a shame police are fucking psychotic, because being falsely imprisoned on the demand to display sexual anatomy would otherwise sound like an excellent reason to call them.

so they're like if toddlers were pointy and airborne
sounds the opposite of fantastic. i am no longer sad to not have any ravens. thank you for that

wonder if it's just that whoever wrote it counted the amount of " that the huge bobblehead mask adds to the height of the costume's wearer, but didn't think to adjust her weight to match
survival instinct usually says to assume maliciousness before stupidity, but, well. sometimes dumb is just dumb.

for a few of their other big projects on dismantling terms' actual meanings to replace with excuses to oppress and attack people, see also:
woman > 'walking fleshlight', pedophile > 'LGTBQ+', peaceful protester > 'violent antifa', patriotism > 'treason', christian > 'christ-hating genocidal maniac'

it is not possible for an illegal immigrant to collect medicaid.
however the rightwing are trying very, very hard to re-define terms to get away with heinous BS. one of the many things they want to re-define is "brown person(birthright or legal nationality irrelevant)>illegal immigrant by default".

i love how the most annoyed face i've ever seen on a rat is also the most cross-eyed

one of the things i love about bluesky is randomly learning unexpectedly from total strangers the names of plants i grew up seeing all over the place that no one in real life ever knew the name of to identify them.
so far got hollyhock, wood anemone, deadnettle, chicory, just from stuff like this.

maybe marriage should just stop being a thing. no more legal discrimination against based on marital status / ability. no more tying healthcare to spousal permission. no more using relationships as an expensive, paperwork-laden trap.
borderline owning someone should not be a milestone of 'love'

looks like mezzo's opinions on monday mornings are 'no'

so majestic

i don't think the text is a different marker from the one used, to me it looks like the text is an absence of ink and the black background is the part that was filled in around it

well he's running for mayor of new york, so... although it's a nice thought, i don't think we should put too high hopes on him arresting a war criminal for entering alaska

but
but regular butter is made of carbon
the milk it's churned from is made of carbon

WE ARE MADE OF CARBON

these must be the kind of people the dihydrogen monoxide parody was made for

i like the mindset of eating invasive species.
fewer non-invasives killed because people are already fed. most invasives are our fault anyway. and humans have always been eating things nothing else will.
if something is wreaking havoc because it has 'no predators', step up. it's part of our niche.

pretty sure you're thinking of pufferfish, which are poisonous. lionfish are venomous.
if it helps, remember that some people eat venomous rattlesnakes, but no one eats poison dart frogs.

to be clear, i'm bitching about the ones who are being rude to the family about their choice to leave rather than make *one specific place in the state* terlitable.
not trying to be mean to people who are just genuinely curious why unisex bathrooms in general aren't more popular.

the amount of dumbasses in these comments confused that they didn't just change the bookstore bathrooms to thwart it...
when a state bans something state-wide, the ban has effect *everywhere in the state*. she probably does not spend every second of her life in the bookstore. nor should she have to.

places with unisex bathrooms, even if they also have gendered ones, tend to get screechily accused of being "woke".
it's probably because they don't want a solution. they want to be assholes. if you fix the made up problem, that takes away one of the things they can use to shit on people.

there's a lot of bike lanes here compared to other places, but one thing i've noticed is that they're generally only on one side of the road and rarely two bikes wide
does that mean cyclists can only use the lanes to go one way per st?
