the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

Reminder:

If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people.

There is no separating the art from the artist in this case.

#UK #JKR In what comes as a surprise to nobody, JK Rowling has embarked on her next phase of her path to radicalization. She now also offers to fund legal cases - provided applicants meet certain criteria. jkrwf.org?fbclid=IwQ0x...

A man says "fuck it. I wanna be serialized. I'm tired of living comic to comic. I want to experience more. I don't want my eternally reviving body to be used for momentary vignettes. I want to be somebody." Another man says "Oh Gary, I don't think it works like that. We are doomed to nothingness after the next panel." Gary shakes his fists toward the heavens and shouts "NO! I refuse! My name is Gary! I deserve more life!"

There's never been a stronger case for forcing Meta to divest WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger (in decreasing order of likelihood). And never been a less likely time for it to happen.

listen, you don't have to listen to random Internet strangers telling you to give up community and familial ties and your income when they'll do nothing to support you in replacing them. deleting Meta apps isn't easy for everyone

From an internal thread about the change:
One reply to the thread reads “I wish I could resign in protest, but I’ve already resigned.” Other comments include: “I find it very hard to understand how explicitly carving out which groups of marginalized people can have what we otherwise classify hate speech directed at them will be beneficial for the communities we hope to build on our platforms.” “This change is unacceptable on all levels.” “Someone went into this policy and not only removed protection, they actually *doubled down* and made it explicitly okay. Absolutely wild.” “I had to reread the policy language many times to believe what I was seeing—a very clear statement that we’re okay with people attacking others based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. I cannot begin to fathom why we think this is acceptable or helpful to our community and our company’s mission. I’ve never felt so strongly that we’re on the wrong side of history. This is going to cause so much harm. Please reconsider this change.” “When I first joined this company, people would criticize me for working here all the time. I defended y’all time and time again, always anchoring that in the end we do try our best even if it doesn’t work out sometimes - but this? appalling.” “I think it’s clear that the policy team is not open to any feedback here and is committed to an ideological project that sacrifices some of our communities in order to achieve their goal,” one employee wrote. “Just call me a tranny and close the discussion here. At least it would be honest.”

I wonder what condition my soul would be in if I still worked there.

Diminished, surely.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
So, someone told you that supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans, and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it…

I wonder if anyone's looked into the causal link between this kind of progressive mask-drop and the slowing/reversal of the tech boom that's been happening since 2022-ish.

Does austerity beget social conservatism? Is the shift away from empathy a necessity for layoffs and rejecting newcomers?

clearly the big lesson from the last election was that people were too mean to giant amoral technology corporations
