Don't fall for the exclusionist bullshit. They WILL eventually find a target that you feel threatened enough by to consider their arguments, whether it's ace/aro people, pan people, mspec lesbians...etc. Consider whether that group is actually hurting you by existing and self defining or if you've just been made to feel that way.
The exclusionist rabbit hole goes deep and for some flat out leads to TERFville at the end.
Radical inclusion and solidarity is where it's at and if you're still too stunted to see that then get well soon I guess.
sorry if this poll isnt comprehensive my wife is the biology buff not me. anyways. remaking my last ebegging post since our needs have changed but we are still in need of help.
i am on my period, which has drastically increased both my appetite (in spite of the lack of food or money i have) as well as my pain, fatigue and other more concerning chronic illness symptoms. having to continually beg piecemeal for a few bucks here or there to maybe get enough for one meal that we can sometimes stretch with leftovers is tedious and humiliating, especially bc of my OCD, ARFID and other dietary sensitivities making eating extremely expensive and difficult. its still going to be over a week until i get foodstamps, not that its even remotely close to enough to feed me, much less me and my wife, for a whole month. im hesitant to set a goal but any amount helps. if i can get close to $100 by tuesday i can get a few things to try and last us a bit longer until the stamps refill. folks can chip in via this, this, or this, and i also have this as well. anything helps.
"please don't stick a q tip in your ears, our product can damage your eardrums" lies. they're trying to stop you from hitting the ear g spot. they're in league with the church
i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least
I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 馃憤馃従 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.
Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.
Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.
Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.
If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.
