How did you get this image of me
Fun fact Firefighters lobby heavily for large roads (in the US) that contribute to increased traffic accidents...that they respond to. It's the biggest part of their job.
Good luck convincing the manosphere to drop it
I mean the DRC has a huge population of child slaves that mine cobalt. Bad living conditions and inadequate healthcare are the perfect storm to spread disease
Civil disobedience gave us our ability to exist as trans people. Marsha P. Johnson was arrested over 100 times just for being trans in public. Laws do not dictate ethics.
I had this problem with my old phone...a One Plus 9. One Plus used to be so good now it's full of bloatware and bugs. Their suggested fix was factory resetting the phone to factory due to them limiting what files could be checked.
Kinda random but for anyone who needs to hear it... rest is revolutionary. Capitalism feeds on people being "productive" (i.e. producing capital), so take that rest day. Fuck whatever corporation you work for, use your sick days. Be a person, not a worker.
There's been two movements in the US impacting this.
One, to focus more on the Pro-Palestine protests. If Gaza isn't free no one is free. Submovement: Disabled people still aren't welcome at pride. COVID is still a huge threat and most STILL aren't masking. I call it a Submovement because it was something that wasn't taken very seriously until the encampments and Pro-Palestine protests. Organizers are making it well known that masks are super important.
Second, some organizers recognize that pride as it currently stands is incredibly liberal. It requires substantial corporate backing and some are required by local legislation to have cop presence. The corps that do back pride only do so for good publicity and then turn around and fund anti queer legislation.
Also anti-queer legislation has grown exponentially...I can understand people being scared and not wanting to be open in public.
I'm not saying boo hoo suck it up these are more important. Pride is still necessary. It sucks that it's been quiet. It sucks that people have to hide in fear from sociopaths who are out to kill queer folx. I'm just telling y'all what's going on
Fuck HP. They provided the tech Israel uses to control and surveil Palestinians.
I hate this
It's because only trans people can en passant. Too strong.
No but seriously this is blatant transphobia. There's no reason for this ruling. Stripping titles is just salt in the wound, wtf.
I have a local account and anytime we got the "reports are piling up" message from Ada it was maybe 3 reports that were less than 12 hours old. We never had reports older than 2 days at least since I started helping August 7th, 2023. I check everyday, if I wanted another mod's opinion of a report I left it up while I waited for a response but we never just ignored the reports. I'm not sure where Ada is coming from saying that the admins needed to hop in to resolve reports.
She went and removed/banned people that we had already resolved reports on, that was our main concern. We asked for her to let us know if there was any holes in the rules she wanted us to fill so the ruling is consistent with the rules we have posted and she basically just said she's going to do what she's been doing.
