How did you learn to mix?

i just accept the possibility of being really bad at something and then proceed to do whatever i want

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

What’s the best cartoon for children? How about “none of them”? Animation is literally cinema and cannot be appreciated by minors.

yes yes you're all very clever detectives but it's actually a reference to this meme that apparently never made it to tumblr. anyways there's much better evidence out there to suggest transmascs are being radicalized towards terf ideology or even detransitioning, and pretending that it doesn't happen ensures it's going to keep happening

I spend hours scrolling through blogs to establish a link between transandrophobia theory and terfism...and...he just...tweeted it out

No matter what pair of words you try to use to illustrate a difference in pronunciation, there is unfortunately some commonly spoken dialect of English which is specifically designed to defeat you. There are English dialects where "dog" and "cat" have the same vowel sound in the middle. You can't win.

i couldn't make myself choose so

so long as we're back to social justice 101 on this stupid website, u need to be aware of the feedback loop that emerges from disproportionate scrutiny: any social group that is placed under extra scrutiny, regardless of the actual prevalence of any particular behaviour, will appear to engage in that behaviour more often.

you see this most blatantly with racialised groups (more cops in black neighbourhoods = more arrests in black neighbourhoods = "omg look at all the crime in these neighbourhoods!" = more cops in black neighbourhoods etc). even if the rate of crime is the same (putting to one side the criminalisation of poverty which is also an important related factor), one group gets away with it way more often and a new generation of racists is indoctrinated with the crime statistics which "prove" that some groups are simply more criminal in nature. we see a similar phenomenon online with particular groups (trans women being a huge example) being subjected to mass stalking, their every move documented by weirdos and broadcast as representative of the group as a whole.

tl;dr - overscrutinising groups based on existing bigotries creates a recurring feedback loop, reproducing those bigotries across generations and nominally justifying them. this is bad, and you need to remember that you are not immune to it.

in amber skies, is alberta still rat-free?

rats have been extinct for roughly 10,000 years, and Calgary is buried under a thirty foot glacial ice shelf.
