Sadly, Its The Only Way We Can Combat The Bigots (when Its One On One Arguements), Because They Wont

apa, the ticworm

Apathetic worm

actuall feminists have fought for tens of years to prove that women arent just their genitalia, but whoops! here comes tippity-top white woman and says "actually i prefer this", and tumbles the whole tower down significantly.

ok, for those of you who don't know, jk rowljng donated £70k to an organisation of Scottish women who wanted the legal definition of a woman to be based on biological sex alone in the uk. today they had this ruled for in court.

the legal definition of a woman in the uk is now based purely on biological sex, which will likely fuel the deconstruction of laws made to protect trans people and fuel new transphobic laws. we are still apparently protected from discrimination though.

the worst part of this is that news reports have been treating this as a good thing. jk rowling is painted as an amazing person in school assemblies. after doing not only what she does on twitter, but actively funding the discrimination of trans people.

the sheer de-humanification of trans people into "men who want to be women" is just disgusting, and it makes me mad because you cant tell anyone to go meet up with a trans person, because theyll just say no and keep spewing the rhetoric, and only seeing trans people through this filter that is twitter, that only outputs not "normal" trans ladies (which also dis-includes trans men because they dont align with their idea of trans people).

something i hate is people who interpret [neurodivergent] random behaviour and caring behaviour as sexual attraction/fetish/romantic behaviour (eg: this situation)

"friends don't look at each other like that" well okay you coward you do whatever you want however i WILL look at my friends like they're the most important thing in the world. i love them with my whole heart and i will hold their hand and stare at the stars not because i wanna fuck them but because they mean the world to me and i care about them. fuck you

was it- was it on top of the water?

Yesterday there was a massive spider in my tub, so I got a napkin to kill it (time-sensitive spider). I crushed it, then lifted the napkin to see a completely unharmed spider. so I did it again, and once again, the spider was perfectly unharmed. I started to panic, this had never happened to me before. So I started pummeling him. I just kept pummeling and pummeling, bashing and bashing. I was actually punching him, no other word for it. I reared my fist to see a half-living spider. Still this fucker was alive. One more set of pummels, pummels fit for a man, and then, finally, he was gone. But god, what a life he lived.

i don’t give a fuck if i “sound like chatgpt,” you will pry—my em dash—from my cold—dead—hands—fuck you fuck you fuck you

ok but like im so interested to hear how the republicans would check if someone was a furry, like at least with transphobes you can check someones pants and be like 80% accurate, but you cant really do that with furries

Don't let Republicans distract you with gimmicky culture war bills. Republican policies are making Americans' lives shorter and worse in every conceivable way.

holy shit "the emperor has no clothes" is so fucking accurate, even more specifically were living in the joke version of that story where everyone also follows his fashion

(bassicly its an h. c. anderson story about a king that has a pair of clothes makers come and demand hefty price for a piece of clothes thats invisible to stupid people, and when the king sees that... well he couldnt see it he got scared thinking he was stupid and bought it. and the king wore it with pride, and everyone knew that it was invisible to stupid people, but only when one little kid piped up and said "but the emperor has no clothes" and well, there was no clothes, the emperor was in fact naked).

the story is about the fear of looking stupid sometimes over-rules the need to point out that the emperor has no clothes (that the president has no power to break amendments) [even when you're "high class", smarter], but we DO need to point out when the emperor has no clothes, because thats the only way we keep him from going around town naked.

oh yeah and the "joke version" of it everyone followed his example and took off their clothes as well to follow his fashion, which is even more accurate, but more in a comedic sense.

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

odd, mine was grayish black, or maybe thats just the endless burning fire from the basement.

I don’t remember much from middle school. Mainly just the Green haze.

i see so many hitler trump connections, but for some reason this one hit the hardest, idk why

Trump is appointing three washed-up actors as "ambassador to Hollywood" in order to bring back the "Golden Age of Hollywood". Which has historical precedent: there was an ambassador to Hollywood in the Golden Age, too. His name was Georg Gyssling and he was sent by Hitler to monitor the activities of Hollywood studios. To make sure their films didn't say anything anti-Nazi, resulting in many attempts at anti-fascist films being shut down by the Hays Code. Just a fun historical Hollywood fact there
