The second wave of arrests was almost entirely students, because Columbia has been on lockdown and it’s been increasingly difficult for non-students to get in in the first place. The “outside agitators were at fault” narrative that Columbia is pushing is at odds with this.
It includes transgender women, but I don't think doing so skews the numbers. AFAIK in the US there are about the same number of trans women as trans men, so any increase in the queer percentage from trans women would be balanced out by the decrease from excluding trans men.
I'd expect an AFAB-specific poll to have a slightly higher queer percentage, since it would include nonbinary people while this poll excludes them.
It’s from The Hard Drive, which is another satire site. The sidebar for this community mentions that other satire sites are okay to post.
No - semantic satiation is when you read or hear a word so much in a short timeframe that it stops feeling like a real word, and briefly feels like just a jumble of letters/sounds.
The most commonly accepted words for those concepts are gynesexual (attraction to women) and androsexual (attraction to men), though they’re used rarely
Smaller canvas, to make it feel less empty and encourage more communication across communities (or competition! >:] )
I’ve never heard of bribes being used to bypass a driver’s test, at least where I’ve grown up (Washington, US). If you tried to open a conversation like “where do I go if I want to bribe you?” I imagine that people would just assume it’s a joke.
This is only true if the mastodon instance in question has gotten copies of the post—if nobody on an instance follows your pixelfed account, and nobody on an instance follows an account that boosts posts from your pixelfed account, then (with a few exceptions) the post won’t appear in that instance’s Federated feed or that instance’s hashtag feeds
I don’t think that’s true. Like, yes, priming is a real thing, the mere exposure effect is real, and the advertisement industry exists for a reason, but something you don’t pay attention to is unlikely to stick with you; the danger in algorithms is much more how they influence your emotions and your consumption patterns than how they inject your brain with unwanted thoughts
My bad, I didn’t know HRT was a term used outside of transgender healthcare. Thank you for the info!
The book Urban Sprawl and Public Health (2004) was the first major work to connect car-centric design to life expectancy, so it might be worth reading

Theyre broadly supportive of worker rights, trans rights, etc, and so they’re on the left of the political spectrum, but many are also fairly close to the Democratic Party, and they are a mixed bag when it comes to Israel, alongside being reformist rather than revolutionary, which places them in the center-left imo. Out of the organizations listed on the Hands Off website, the DSA was the furthest-left one I saw, and the DSA is itself a big-tent socialist organization that includes reformists and Democratic Party supporters. The Hands Off rally in my area had milquetoast Democratic congresspeople as speakers.
There’s a stark contrast between the sort of rhetoric and political position you’ll see at Hands Off versus at a pro-Palestine protest or a socialist reading group.
