my annual reminder that pumpkin spice hate is a brainless take propagated by people who have bad taste and sadness in their veins

C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social

My annual reminder that pumpkin spice is a collection of common household spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, mace (which is kind of a lie as mace is just the outside of a nutmeg), ginger, and sometimes allspice. There is no pumpkin or actual pumpkin flavor in anything labelled PUMPKIN SPICE.

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

America is a dictatorship. With a Gestapo. Run by a pedophile and pedophile protectors. With appalling food standards. No medical care. And school shootings a plenty. And a false prophet for profit national religion.

they were concerned that the automation of the textile industry would lead to lower worker pay, lower quality of product, and worse working conditions. you’re going to tell me that isn’t exactly what happened?

full disrespect, what the fuck even is this?

Some busy ppl didn't pay attention at that time. And now it's baked in so there's no change to see any more. It's interesting what diff ppl choose to focus on vs ignore. For some, their boss insists they stay on X. They also are not paying attention to this: theconversation.com/a-few-weeks-...

Others have noted that this gigantic march hasn't gotten the level of attention it deserves—so let's amplify the story. This seems like a good writeup from the Independent. "An estimated 150,000 people marched through central London in the world’s largest trans pride event, organisers have said."

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Violence at a protest is NOT protected by any amendment but the right to speak & assemble very clearly is. While there is no organized "antifa", it is dangerously obvious by these sentences that the Trump admin & the federal gov are punishing as if it were true. Salem's bells ring once again.

One day, out of nowhere, the news and government said "Trans people are a problem!" and the entire world collectively decided to make sure trans people never feel safe for a single moment of their entire lives.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

Just in: A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone.

If I have any advice for trans women existing in this world, when you are out in public, don't you ever lower your head. If you are nervous, embarrassed, scared, whatever, do not let them know that you are anything less than as powerful as you are. Chins up ALWAYS.

you should quit your job

The New York Times’s body of reporting on the American Medical Association’s stance on gender-related care for minors is accurate and factual, and remains so despite the recent statement from the Chair of the A.M.A. Board, which contradicts the A.M.A.’s own statements. www.nytco.com/press/fact-c...

Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement. The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.
