If you don't know what the rest of the movement is accomplishing, then what exactly has he been doing a great job of informing you of?

Not something that has really affected me; I wouldn't even call myself white-passing, I think of myself as white. It just was a bit of a shock the first time. But it reiterated the idea to me: anti-racism forever.

I do wish I was more connected to my heritage though, I should try the language again

I knew an Irish woman who outwardly hated racism, but the moment she saw someone she assumed was a "gypsy" would jump up to say "let me deal with them". Even informing her that I was of Romani descent didn't dissuade her. It truly is a terribly socially accepted bigotry

Sorry to hear that. We've interacted a couple of times but sometimes I think about you and hope you're making it okay

they're finally making romhacks removing the useless parts of pokemon games

These are interesting. I don't think I've heard anything similar to this before, but I like it

What Geller said with ambivalence, I say with conviction; you decided you could not live on the same Earth as millions of decent people, and now decent people have decided they cannot live on the same Earth as you

I try not to do discourse-of-the-week, but it is so important to understand that we will never know peace until we stop being ashamed of sex

I'd vote for her.

also for reference if you're in a western country that isn't the US this is probably the time to start looking for/organising solidarity action with Venezuela to show your gvmt it's politically unviable to side with the states in this

The world's greatest role-playing game is *obviously* the weird kludge that only exists as fragmented notes across my cloud drive, a usb I lost in a move, and the notebook I haven't opened since high-school

Every time I read another system, mine became less coherent, which is what made it good

Human settlements should be highly engineered to meet as many needs as possible in as dense a space as possible; but, if you didn't know that they were designed, they should seem like the woods

Everybody talking about ignition interlocks and speed limiters when the real shit is that there should be a trolly to every neighborhood, most streets should be closed to cars, and you should have to give a reason why you need a car when you attempt to purchase one like buying a gun in Europe.

I've never seen that message, and I know that we don't have a law like that yet at the federal level. Must be a provincial thing

Yeats doesn't miss. I'm personally partial to "Come away, O human child, to the waters and the wild; with a fairy, hand in hand; for the world's more full of weaping than you can understand."

I wish I knew about the freedom to be wrong when I was doing grade 11 trigonometry. It would have helped a lot

We will all live under a reflective grey sky, and we will be grateful or else

A picture of peppa pig and the Queen jumping in puddles together, imposed on a black background. White text reads "H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, 1926 to 2022. In Memoriam

Whenever I think about how dumb it was, this is the image I think of

A pair of shiny black boots with yellow stitching. They have been straight-laced.

Just got new boots!

You aren't parsing the sentence correctly. What she said was "I can {not be on HRT} and {be trans}"; as in, "not being on HRT" and "being trans" can co-occur.

It's honestly strange to read it the other way, since interpreting it as exclusive wouldn't make any sense

Yeah. A naysayer is someone whose expectations routinely undershoot reality; therefore, those who are truly just naysayers are very rare. I guess it's on me for forgetting that

What happened? I had (relatively, which is to say very moderately) high hopes for that project. Sad to hear that I'll probably be disappointed

To be fair to that one person, "knocking up workpeople" at the time would have meant knocking on their doors to make sure they're awake in time for their shift.

Those other ones knew what they were doing, though

I think the way that this could actually work legally is to establish a trust. The account would be managed by a human trustee, but would be earmarked for spending only on the care and upkeep of the dog

If I'm not mistaken, this is what happens to money that people leave to their pets in their will

I am an advocate for the shadowy force. There isn't a vast trans conspiracy making people transition, but there should be

Having an emotional support 19th century German has got to be a sign of something. There was a point in my life where my various online pseudonyms always included one of "August" or "Willich"

You ever read a particular philosopher and think "I wish this guy wasn't right"?

Holy shit. The guy across the street from me just did a three-point turn out of his driveway

That's good wisdom

Interesting idea. I like it, but how would one practically go about salting a prison?
