Guys you have to just block everyone who seems like they might report Palestinians. If you don’t block them they will go to your page and report the Palestinians you repost. I know they are terrible people and it feels good to dunk on them, but you have to block them to keep people safe.

There's another category I refer to as "soft homeless" where you technically have somewhere to live, but are not in control of your ability to stay.
You're roommates, but your home is a friend's couch, a sibling's spare room, or even a bad relationship you want to leave but have nowhere to go.

“The working homeless” is not a myth. They want us to be invisible so they don’t have to answer for what this capitalistic hellscape is doing to us all.
It’s real. We exist. We’re a growing class of people (which is why folks want to look away). And I’ll never be quiet about it.

to young people: you may at some point have heard about the Y2K problem. some people may have told you it wasn't a big deal
i need you to understand the only reason it wasn't a big deal was that everyone spent loads of time fixing code before it could become a problem, which is why it never did

I'm a pretty decent writer who finds it very difficult to write these days because of a bunch of disabilities. Never even considered using AI coz what would be the point??? Writing is the point of writing. It's where the pleasure is. It's where the use of it is.
I don't understand how to explain that writing---WRITING---is literally about crafting sentences and picking the right words and analogies and inferences and double entendres and the sheer pleasure of standing back and seeing that yeah, what you've scribbled down expresses your thoughts well.
Oh not this fucking 'being anti-AI is ableist' shit again, this dogshit sub is full of this type of cope.

Those who yell at others for virtue signaling do constantly express their own values (xenophobia, pedophilia, misogyny).
This phony centrism of discourse is nothing new. You're emotional; they're rational. You're making things political; they are telling it like it is.

Virtue signaling is good and we should do a hell of a lot more of it. It's literally signaling the values of your society to other members of that society and young people don't just magically have values as some innate feature within them. They're given to them through osmosis by those they watch.

Neurodivergent people in general are at risk of considering themselves or being considered fuck ups. Diagnoses can help things click & make sense, this is why I always had such trouble with the basic parts of being in the world. I’m built different than people it comes easy to. And I deserve care.

if I have to constantly worry that I may accidentally smile in a way that makes some dude think I want him so he decides to stalk me for months then men should be perpetually terrified of accidentally sexually harassing women. Idgaf, you’re fucking scared, dude? No you’re not.

I heard about this ages ago, but I didn’t even know she was on here. I’m very uncomfortable with the number of large accounts I have generally trusted in the past that are still following her. Don’t follow known abusers.
multiple trans women were abused by Sophie From Mars. Sophie is also trying to block anyone mentioning her past abusive behavior.

I actually just do not trust white men to not have some creepy alternate motive for being around me, a lesbian. If they want me to stop thinking every white man is not some kind of pervert they should start policing their perverts. Yes, this includes gay white men, I’ve had issues with them before.

And if my fellow middle-aged white men are at a loss as to what they should say, remember that "I'M SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS" always works.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
