"transphobia is just misogyny with extra steps" exhibit 568

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Thanks to global solidarity, the keffiyeh team fed 60 families over three weeks. Together, we fight back against the deliberate starvation and cruel collective punishment of our people. Let us keep feeding hope and standing strong against injustice every single day.β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή chuffed.org/project/gkt

oh FUCK yeah, my emotional support regular at work was touched that I brought him a piece of cake on his birthday so he brought me some of his special birthday dinner. he works at an indian restaurant but his uncle made him REAL indian/pakistani food for his bday and guys??? it was so fuckin good

the regular and my indian coworker (both young guys) were gossiping about girls and I was like WHO I WANNA KNOW so they switched languages until they were ready to tell me lol

if you think it's okay that trans people are losing basic human rights as long as your favourite political party wins, please explain to me what it is about you in particular that makes you more worthy of keeping your rights intact whatever it is, the capitalist class doesn't care. you're next.

stoned as fuck in a rideshare on my way to work and the driver is rude as fuck and doesn't appear to know where anything in the city is or want to listen to me when I tell him πŸ™ƒ

usually I'm fine and even pleased with canada not selling american alcohol, but can fucking cutwater's canadian division please let us have the good flavours instead of just the ones that taste like actual poison

I like to have a cheeky little canned cocktail sometimes! all the better if it's so high proof that I only need 3 to get drunk!! but it doesn't have to taste like something you're supposed to drink from a tiny vial before dramatically succumbing

hey just fyi the ceo of scentbird (like the most popular and cheapest available perfume/cologne subscription company) is a trash person who has claimed "hitler wasn't evil" because "millions of souls benefited from learning from the experience that he has created" πŸ™ƒ

Americans love lesser evils until you tell them that China is objectively less evil than the US or that Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah are justified in attacking Israel

sure would be a shame if the entire writing and reading communities were aware that this guy is a transphobic piece of human garbage, who demands trans people ask nicely for their rights (not that he'd personally say yes if they did) of course, that's not to say he's ever written anything of note

This is just one of those things that proves unequivocally the asymmetry of empire and province. We ALL care about American politics, we have to, but god fucking forbid Americans give the remotest shit about what happens elsewhere, even if the consequences will affect them personally.

my algorithm has started showing me a lot of videos of small girls whipping ass at skateboarding, and I approve. there's a certain joy that comes with watching tiny baby girls landing kick flips and dropping into huge pipes and shit that is hard to get elsewhere. you go, tiny baby, shred that shit

i will never not be militant about trans rights cis people: demand nothing less than full, unequivocal rights for trans people and do not accept from anyone the idea that it is naive to demand it we deserve what you have

love hoarding art supplies. last night while we were installing the new sink in the kitchen, bf realised that due to a tight corner while he was cutting the new counter top, there was a small gap next to the sink. I grabbed my epoxy clay, patched it up, and once I sand & paint it it'll be perfect 😌

seriously though, epoxy clay is cool as fuck. you can use it for home improvement shit like this, or you can use it to make art that air dries to a rock solid form in like a day and can be sanded, drilled, painted, etc. it bonds permanently to like any surface

it's basically like a molding cement, and I fucking love it and will be buying many tubs shortly. I just ordered 4 complete sets of creepy acrylic teeth, and I will be making little weirdos ASAP

does anyone know of a shoe brand that isn't demonia who makes big clunky platform boots that reliably have size 11+ for women? these bitches are so fuckin expensive and like 80% of them have a bunch of tacky teenaged goth shit hanging off them. I just want plain ass, black, 8-12 hole platform boots

doc martens sells a few pairs but I refuse to spend 2001 doc marten money on 2026 doc martens. the quality doesn't fuckin add up anymore, it is not worth $300+ to have boots that would've lasted 20 years if they'd been made 20 years ago but now will last 4 (and you'll get blisters the whole time)

I wish american liberals on this fucking site would just come right out and say "the trans genocide isn't real because trans people aren't human". because that's obviously the fuckin point they like to dance around but of course they won't! because they're fucking cowards who feel morally superior

and it would hurt their "liberal cred" to admit that, in reality, they don't fuckin care about bullshit like "human rights" or "fairness" or "equality". all they fuckin care about is that the policies their team enacts don't negatively affect THEM, personally

to the point where they'll say shit like "well you HAVE TO vote for the anti trans democrat, if the republican gets in then they'll go after other people" with their whole chest and not even understand that they're saying "my life is more important than yours, so we must make sure I'M safe"

"you're canadian, why do you feel the need to speak over americans in conversations about the united states" the answer is very simple: many of you are very, very stupid

also my own govt fucking sucks, and generally fascist things that happen in the states are mirrored in canada like 3-5 years later because many canadians are also very, very stupid

As the gentry try to normalize transphobia in every avenue of life, a common talking point they love to share is the alleged high 'detransition' and 'regret' rates among trans people. These allegedly high rates are completely false, and based on bunk science. 🧡

our kitchen sink broke last night (don't ask me how, I don't know shit about shit), while there was a sink full of dishes, so bf dismantled the whole counter and sink at like midnight and our kitchen is filled with dirty dishes and is totally unusable πŸ™ƒ

BUT on the bright side, he's a good man and is currently trying to fit a new sink and cut a new counter top. AND my dad has offered up a bunch of brand new kitchen cupboard doors that I get to paint and install 😈

(for this post i’m doing an impression of a woman that’s been hit in the head very hard with one of the big swinging pendulums they use to test material hardness) you don’t understand. MOST democrats AREN’T running anti trans ads

I watched borat once and it just felt racist? I really don't understand why everyone gives sasha baron cohen a pass on the brown face shit with borat and ali g. like even a lot of generally left wing people seem to like him a lot?

also sorry but it's a bit suspect that he's done work with like the ADL and NAACP et al for years. he was always an activist. then the occupation of gaza ramped up. he's made one public statement (in '23)- to biden, urging him to make hamas release hostages. literally nothing else
