fragging when

to be fair, this is just general lib shit. like, you'll find a shittonne of people who are 100% "trans rights are human rights!!! ^_^ (but we need to fund the police, blow up muslims, and protect nazis UwU)"

you don't have a seperate brush for each tooth? fucking commies smh

i love that the CW is "penis talk" not bugs or anything. which implies that this is just a normal part of life for people with dicks...

because they have spent approximately 0.5 seconds of their lives thinking about foreign policy. they simply Do Not look at this

jesus fucking christ

what is the point of a federal government if not to set regulations and minimums like that (obviously the purpose of the US federal governemnt is to serve the bourgeoisie, but goddamn how does it get away with being so much more mask off than all the other bourgeois states)

Workers who receive 11 to 15 days of PTO each year

in amerikkka you're allowed to give your emplyees 11 days vacation per fucking year?? land of the free lmao

why is he doing it early? i figured the tories were desperately holding on and hoping something big happened to give them some chance of winning, but i'm pretty sure the tories are as fucked as they always were

idk, i know this is probably happening on twitter for sus reasons, but in practical terms this seems like a straight upgrade? tumblr lets you hide your likes and thats great - i don't neccessarily need people who i want to have genuine conversations with exposed to my piss kink lmao, or to see that i'm into [name of trashy tv show here]. if anything this will improve engagement because you're not making a Statement everytime you hit the little heart button. generally more privacy is more good isn't it?

"actually political power grows out of the barrel of a ballot" - president Mao

it costs $130

false, it costs $0

middle class earners spend like lower-income workers

i love that they won't even refer to middle class people as workers - they're "earners" as if theyre bourgeoisie lmao. we can't let the various proles start getting the idea that they're all on the same team!

i genuinely do not have a single higher goal as an academic than being able to conduct at least some of my research in china (well, aside from stopping climate change, but lets be real i have by far the best chance of doing that there anyway). xi please confucinize me

its middle class suburban paranoia, the 24 hour news cycle, and racism, thats it.

i've recently moved to a large city from the countryside and my grandma is terrified of me getting stabbed. no one she knows has ever been stabbed, but it's on the news so it must be happening every day. its just what those hoodied youths get up to. the thing is i'm the only young person i've ever known who carries a knife - i always have, i'm from a fucking farm. it's a knife that's literally illegal in my country, we just don't have cops nearby.

the real kicker: SHE gave me that knife when i was fucking 13

doesn't amerikkka have something similar about how every street corner in detroit/chicargo/wherever is swarmed by teens who are Definitely smoking fentynol? its those same PMC delusions, but with violence instead of drugs. if ALL violent crime were eliminated, the news would just turn to some other shit to rile people up over.

yeah same. we have an AI assistent now and every meeting has a 'gentle reminder' that the sales people and devs and tech support etc etc should be using it. they're never specific about what we should be using it for and the one time i touched it it didn't seem like it even had access to our documentation.

is it really that simple? this is a massive capitalist company, surely they have to understand that they should be acting to improve their material conditions? random libs not understanding shit is fine, but i thought the actual capitalists themselves understood capitalism. exchanging material wealth for like cyberpunk vibes or whatever is genuinely insane.

why? genuinely who does this help and how does it make google money? it seems like they're paying for the energy for ai content in exchange for absolutely nothing

i wanted to be a boy when i was younger, in fact i was certain that i was. i was offended at the idea that i should be on the girls' football team, because obviously i couldn't hit a girl. i wanted to be a cowboy or a wizard or a scientist. i wanted a wife. i wanted to have a beard when i grew up (so that i could be a wizard). i remember my mother losing her mind when i referred to "the other boys" in my school, and i didn't really understand why adults kept saying i was a girl or wanting me to dress like one. in my 5th grade class we came up with the (probably transphobic now tbh) idea that i was a spy going undercover as a girl to find out what they got up to on their group bathroom trips. etc etc

but then i read Stone Butch Blues and realised that people like me exist and always have; i'm allowed to be a woman and love women, i'm allowed to be a woman and be as masculine as i like, i'm allowed to be a woman and not dress/act/talk/etc "like a woman" because there is no such thing. i'm allowed to be a woman and a scientist (and now i am!!). women like me have a history and it is proud and long and badass - and no matter what the world says there is fucking nothing wrong with being a part of it.

plus i realised that as long as i am clockably afab (which, for me, will likely be forever), i will experience sexism and be oppressed in the same way and by the same mechanisms as all other women. medically and legally, i will always be oppressed the same as women. there is no reason for me to distance myself from people who experience the same injustices as me.

(i still want my beard and superhero muscles but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its not worth me figuring out how to get on T and spending the money and stuff. i'm just gonna go to the gym and try to learn how to love my body the way it is (which i'm certainly getting better at; nothing about the way i am makes me lesser or less masc or more deserving of objectification etc etc - society is just sexist))

i'm cis. i didn't want to be a man, i wanted to be a fucking person, we just live in a society where women are often denied that and i was too young to understand and reject sexism.

oh no sorry comrade, i was trying to imply that thats the yt people converting to harass one another for being yt lol
