You know enbyphobia is a driving force of anti-trans hysteria when even people who probably want to be seen as allies treat they/them pronouns as the perfect representation of everything that supposedly makes trans existence alien and off-putting to """normal""" people.

Q is way earlier in the alphabet than it needs to be
It's a sicko letter for perverts and it belongs with all the other weirdos like W and Z
Instead it's right there with R and S which you use like ALL THE TIME

I have officially entered my "get off my lawn" era, because I watched one of those 2000s/2010s hit song compilations about "forgotten" hits from that time period and I have never been so offended in my life.

“Fascist ideologies…tend to paint an idealised vision of the human body and women's bodies in particular are seen as vessels for producing the next generation of ‘pure’ and strong children. With the rise of far-right movements, we also see a return of narrow-minded beauty ideals and body shaming.”
Fascists want you to starve, by the way. Images like the one I’ve shared on my page help them. This is part of the propaganda.
And that set is no exception.
And that set is no exception.
How far right uses thinness to radicalise women and girls
The far right has normalised much of its ideology within mainstream politics – and ‘body fascism’ is part of that

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

"Death of the Author" doesn't mean separating the author's bad behaviour from their art. It means taking away their authority and allowing readers to interpret the art based on their own perspectives. It doesn't absolve the author of being a bastard, in fact it may inform how you interpret the art.

Really gives the game away about all phone and internet bans for kids if all the other arguments hadn't already.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Eine neue Studie bestätigt erneut: Die Zahl der Kriegsopfer in Gaza liegt deutlich über den offiziellen Angaben der Gesundheitsbehörden. Der Artikel kommt viel zu spät – und ohne Entschuldigung für die Rolle der Publikation in der israelischen Einflusskampagne gegen palästinensische Opferzahlen.
Kriegstote im Gazastreifen: Mehr als 100.000 Tote im Gazakrieg
Über die Zahl der toten Palästinenser im Gazakrieg wird heftig gestritten. Der ZEIT liegen Daten vor, wonach deutlich mehr Menschen gestorben sein könnten als bekannt.
