vee-she

Look at how the Republicans are setting *everything on fire* to keep the Epstein files hidden, you know it's gotta involve like unmarked graves, not just child sex trafficking.

The longer they keep this up and harder they try, the more heinous it's gotta be

it's really just that she said something kinda weird and (for most trans people) pretty unhelpful. afaik there isnt a deeper meaning

oh, also the faces are part of the humor. one of my favorite things about these comics.

i guess i dont understand why you dont take he/they to mean 2/3rds he and 1/3rd they.

there might be more detail to that person's specific preferences, but i feel like that's a safe bet until i get to know them better.

i went to the forest that makes you have multiple pronouns and accidentally touched some poison ivy there. now im it/she (itchy) oh come the fuck on

and the other way around is only slightly better

i guess because i like the fact that they have either the courage to take me at my word, or the understanding of why people like me use the pronouns that we do. 2/2

i dont think it's that complicated. i like she/her most of the time but it/its about a third of the time.

i will say that if someone hears me say that i use it/its pronouns and they actually use them for me, i feel closer to them than i otherwise would. 1/2

Jay reskeeted this. Cool. Link is still permanently banned because she lied about him being a violent Black man, by the way.

you can think of some awfully fascist policies.

and unfortunately you *cant* seem to read past a 4th grade level.

muted.

still in love with "zohran the destroyer"

forcing gay people to identify themselves is extremely fascist.

the nazis forced queer people to wear pink or black triangles based on the same logic you are using.

let's play "is this a discourse bot or a blue MAGA fascist?"

can you not think of any reason why forcing gay people to carry around ID that identifies them as such would be a bad idea? especially with trump etc in charge?

let me get this straight.

sexual orientation is about who you want to have sexual/romantic relationships with.

sex/gender identity is about whether you are a man, woman, or something else.

do you still think sexual orientation should be an identity marker?

what is wrong with you?

"loss of our own dick was not in our projections while pulling the 'shoot off your own dick' lever"

also, idk why you are talking about sexual orientation. no one was talking about that.

name, date of birth, location of birth, eye color, height, hair color...

fingerprint and blood type would be an invasion of privacy imo but at least theyd be more useful than sex.

sex is mutable and doesnt determine criminality.

there are many other characteristics that are better for identification.

our passports didnt have sex markers until 1977.

from their inception they were meant to punish and control androgyny.

there is no reason why sex marker needs to be on passports and when they were originally created, they werent.

we didnt have sex markers on our passports till 1977.

actually, you know what? im not getting bogged down in your bullshit. you genuinely argue like a child and i have better things to do today.

muted.

oh, your daughter is trans. i hope she is doing ok, what with having a weird liberal transphobe for a father.

wow, this is embarrassing.

are you even transgender?

are you transgender?

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

The future being pushed by both AI boosters and educational censors is one where access to information is tightly controlled. Children will not be allowed to read certain books or learn certain narratives. “Research” will be performed only through one of a select few artificial intelligence tools owned by AI giants which are uniformly aligned behind the Trump administration and which have gone to the ends of the earth to prevent their black box machines from spitting out “woke” answers lest they catch the ire of the administration. School boards and library boards, forced to comply with increasingly restrictive laws, funding cuts, and the threat of being defunded entirely, leap at the chance to be considered forward looking by embracing AI tools, or apply for grants from government groups like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is increasingly giving out grants specifically to AI projects.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

"I'll tell you right now- if we don't do these illegal and anti-constitutional things with the utmost urgency, we are all going to prison."

i put spam on "warn" and nothing changed, but the second i turned it off suddenly i could see Palestinian accounts again

I'm sure it's juuuuust a coincidence

USERS: we love Bluesky but it has problems
BLUESKY: great we'll fix them
USERS: do you want to know what they are
BLUESKY: absolutely not

yes, because scolding people wins elections.

im going to turn y'alls favorite phrase back on you and ask "how well did that work last time?"

and now im going to mute you because you R extremely annoying and utterly politically inept.

(this is what i get for taking a lib's question in good faith)
