I haven’t misunderstood anything, and will not be accepting feedback on it. Blahaj has a hardline “respect pronouns always” stance, and I invite anyone that has a problem with that in the current political climate to sit on it and spin. The pronouns were never the problem.

I love how for some reason they interpret “I specifically would not like to read this” as “DEBATE ME! DEBATE ME NOW!!” 🥲

Using neopronouns isn’t doing that. Being a weird furry isn’t doing that. Bad behavior doesn’t do that either, and trans people who are shithead trolls still don’t deserve to be misgendered.

Any trans person who thinks kicking the “cringe” trans people while we’re all down will buy them five minutes off the chopping block is at best a rube.

Boy, there’s not a whole lot I would like to read less than people giving their opinions on trans furries who use neopronouns. People get just a little too excited about having found the ‘right kind’ of trans person to invalidate, and think that Drag being a troll somehow proves something about neopronouns or nonbinary people.

I’m just gonna keep saying the same thing I’ve been saying since the first post about this: you don’t have to interact with everyone. If you think someone’s pronouns are trolling then report them, block them, and move on with your life.

Sorry if I was short about it or jumped the gun; I’ve seen more people than I like blaming Trump being elected on their favored punching bag, while ignoring the bigoted elephant in the room.

The twisted thing is, even the full throated, Nazi-saluting racists are going to get hurt by this administration. Nobody benefits from measles making a comeback or people dying from lack of abortion access, and health problems don’t care how you voted.

I was going to say it’s missing Igbo, but apparently it used to be spelled Ibo in English. TIL.

I asked because, that 13% combined with those who didn't vote at all might have been the difference between being persecuted or not by the current administration.

13% of 10% of the population, if every single queer person voted, is 1.3% of the total population. Blaming 1.3% of the population for being oppressed by the majority that voted for oppressing them is at best a waste of time.

84% of Trump’s votes came from white people; if 5% of them were less shitty we wouldn’t be going through this. But somehow this societal conversation always comes back to minorities not voting correctly or not voting enough, instead of talking about white America’s racism problem.

Instance admins can hand out unmoderated communities to new mods themselves, provided it’s on their instance of course. If your instance has a /c/main or something I’m sure you could ask there about getting a community transferred to you if you want it, or at least get pointed in the right direction.

Less than voted for Trump in 2020, according to polling (13% in 2024).

Why do you ask?

Business must be booming for them, they’re sold out on their online store.

In sweet baking applications you can also use applesauce as an egg replacement, 1/4 cup applesauce for an egg.

A good discussion is here on the “8 billion usd for soda” figure.

TL;DR: it uses data from 2011 from one store, and the media got the number wrong after extrapolating it to all food stamps expenditure.

Some people are dumping Google/Apple maps over it, may as well strike while the iron’s hot.

My first attempt doesn’t look as nice, since I was trying to sew down the last loops of the warp one at a time instead of taking them all off the hooks at once and then sewing them down.

I think this one turned out alright, though! I just used some variegated craft thread that looked about the same size as pearl thread, but was cheaper and came in a variety pack.

Trans Rights are under assault all across the United States as the new administration continues a brutal project of oppression, exclusion, and denial of care to people everywhere.

Distribute Aid is developing a network of supply chains, medical aid, distribution partners and kit development across 11 states that aims to provide direct care and medical support to thousands of trans people, with the goal of scaling up to cover the rest of the country during 2025.

100% of the proceeds of this bundle go directly toward Distribute Aid's efforts to supply kits of 1 year's necessary medical equipment into the hands of trans people in needs for free.

Each kit comes with a sharps container and enough syringes, needles, bandages, and alcohol wipes to last a year. For people living in states where it’s difficult to access syringes and needles, this will help reduce needle reusing and sharing.

If you aren’t interested in the games and prefer to donate to the campaign directly, you can do that here.

Link has resources for both online and in person tax prep, depending on your preference.

This was the first year I’d heard of being able to get this done for free at the library! I plan on getting mine done through them this year.
