If you like To Own The Libs, take a look at Zoe Storm's other material. Tonally Alyson Greaves' When You Fell From Heaven hits similar comfy feelings, though Dorley is her most popular work.

Last night, I encountered someone complaining that a woman didn't act all calm and reserved in response to flight attendants denying thr stage of pregnancy but that her bf did.

Prick was all like "Well actually, I would reserve judgment without seeing exactly what happened".

God, I hate men.

Did you know that sometimes you can choose not to reply to people on the internet?

They trialed these particular roundabouts a few years ago elsewhere after spending literal years building it in the middle of a junction. Nobody likes them, they require even more crossing and attention, as a pedestrian and you feel rushed to move.

As shitty as it is, those in positions of privilege need to recognize that solidarity means fighting alongside the people that the state is encouraging fash to attack. People having to spend all their capacity organizing in the interests of their own community don't have capacity left for the big picture.

Stand by Palestinians and stand up to those joining in with the far right in attacking them. Same for immigrants and trans people. Those organisers are stretched far thinner than any of you could dream of.

I think that is where it feels iffy to me, personally. Also, like, since you are asking this, there is a feeling of there being a power imbalance from you already so I would avoid it.

Don't go off what people say on here. Men on here are particularly weird and misogynistic - and I say this living somewhere where I frequently get catcalled within 30 secs of stepping through the door.

The idea of degeneration also comes from white supremacy btw in case you didn't know. Its what the ubermemch is/was contrary to and what the whole alpha males thing is from.

For those who aren't in the loop, if you like to use OSS, this isn't strictly open source. It is source available.

Wow you kept digging, huh

Basic milquetoast feminism. I've had more issues with weird misogyny on here than I ever did on Reddit.

L from OP there :(

Have some nuance. His death saved thousands of others as insurance companies became afraid to deny claims in the weeks after.

This is more common still for trans people who are earlier on in their transition but the media doesn't talk about it. This violence was intended for a trans person so why do people only care when it impacts the cis? This ultimately says that violence towards trans people is ok but that it is a problem when those who aren't trans are impacted.
