I don’t think online leftist/liberals from their safer blue states really think about actually accomplishing something enough. Like, sure, there’s schadenfreude and telling people you told them so, but how does that convince anyone you want to help them and make their lives better.
The whole “they voted for it” rhetoric in regard to the low quality of life in red states (specifically in the south) makes me want to start killing and maiming. Frothing at the mouth and clawing. Reading through the screen and grabbing that lib’s throat. It is easier to turn your empathy off and classism on and say “all the people in that state are stupid broke redneck white trash so why should I care about them”, I’m sure.
#like sincerely#how am i to convince anyone I just want their tax money to benefit them in these circumstances#liberals#leftist#left wing

people will talk about a gay historical figure and a homophobe will cut in with “but they had children!” yeah????? (most) gay people can? your reproductive tract doesn’t stop working the moment you come out of a closet? also he was king, it was his job to produce an heir even if he wasn’t attracted to his spouse, many heterosexual royals did too???

Am I old or is the userbase really young now?
You're telling me you don't remember mid 2010s bi/pan/acecourse? The hell that was all of that? (I had the misfortune of identifying as bi, pan and ace at various points in that period)
You don't remember late 2010s transmedicalism ? Being called a trender even if you were binary trans because you don't believe you need dysphoria or need to be binary to be trans? The pushback against that transmedicalism (which was affectionately called trendercore)?
The late 2010s and early 2020s rise of the self-described baeddel movement? The noticeable shift from generic mainstream feminism in queer spaces to specifically radical feminist talking points?
You're telling me some people here don't know? And if they were too young at the time, they haven't been told yet by someone else what went down and what came of it?
Like, this was only 10 years ago at most and barely 6-7 years ago at least.
Maybe I'm just old (mid 20s) but when you've lived through all the other waves of queerphobia and see the pattern, transandrophobia on this site just reuses all the same talking points.

TIL the reason you don’t find much Lyme’s Disease in California is not because we don’t have Ticks, or Lyme Disease Vectors; but rather: because the Western Fence Lizard (if you live anywhere in California this is your regular Garden Variety Lizard) has adapted a passive immune response that makes their blood lethal to Lyme Disease Bacteria. Any Tick that feeds on one gets its gut cleansed of Lyme Disease as a side effect.
Fucking neat.

Good US news because I think we all could use some of it:
The Marines are to be withdrawn from LA. The extreme escalation many of us feared did not happen thanks to the people of LA and the soldiers themselves who said "no".
The "Good Trouble Lives On" protests may not have been as big as the previous "Hands Off" and "No Kings" protests (likely due to heat + being planned on a weekday), but still 1.6k protests were held across the USA with thousands joining in with the peaceful protest.
The Trump administration has been ordered to restore $6.2 million in grant funding to nine LGBTQ+ and HIV-related nonprofits. This is fantastic.
Pittsburgh City Council has passed bills to protect its LGBTQ+ citizens.
California has stepped up to partner with and support The Trevor Project. Let's go, Cali!
Another win for California: Reports show that California is powered by two-thirds clean energy. This is a historic first and it keeps getting better!
The ACLU of Louisiana has secured the release of two wrongfully detained Iranian LSU students.
The Republican governor of New Hampshire has defied her party and shot down a book banning bill.
Shareholders have pushed back on corporations' anti-DEI proposals, forcing companies to face the fact that diversity is good for business... And reminds us that the majority does not agree with the removal of DEI, no matter what MAGA wants us to believe.
Since November, 69 of the 110 Supreme Court lawyers tasked with defending the Trump admin's policies have quit.
Don't let anyone tell you that there isn't hope, that there aren't people fighting and working and just as scared and angry as you are. You are not alone. Peaceful protests, contacting reps, and simple non-cooperation is how we sustainably and successfully push back against authoritarianism.
"We're cooked" is the devil talking. Giving up, rolling over, and perpetuating the idea that we've already failed is exactly what MAGA wants. Don't give them the satisfaction. Don't make it easy. Continue to look after each other and support your communities where you can. Keep protesting, keep calling, keep writing, keep loving. The heart is a muscle the size of your fist; we can get through this as long as we continue to stand up and say "no".

still not over the stephen colbert thing, the way they're punishing him so much by not only essentially firing him but cancelling the show he loves in its entirety, which means also punishing all 200 people who work for and with him on the show.
it is setting an example. it's saying, "this is what happens when you speak truth to power. we will not only punish you. we'll punish the people around you that you've led and loved. is it worth it now, stephen? would it be worth it, other late night talk show hosts? if you don't keep quiet, we will quiet you". the other late night talk show hosts are not all under paramount (iirc, it's just the daily show), but this sets a precedent that tells them they are all vulnerable.
"it's not a big deal" idk man it really seems like it is
#I do think some of these guys don’t need the networks to function#Colbert and Jon Stewart could thrive independently with YouTube/Patreon/podcasting ect

Male writers writing female characters:
“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

Man the demographic that’s most popular movements are based in anti intellectualism and the GymBro guru isn’t catered to by publishing? (Also if he actually like. Picked up a book and read the blurb I’m sure a few dozen of those are male catered he just, you know. Didn’t read them or look)

This orc city guy is pretty funny

Let’s all light a candle and pour one out for all the trans men who never got to figure out they’re men because they were raised to believe they couldn’t ever be anything other than a wife and a mother and if they ever left the church that all their friends and family go to then they’ll burn in hell for all of eternity. May the names engraved on their tombstones fade to nothing and the dresses they were buried in disintegrate.

Make sure you say "I wonder what they're doing right now..." about your comic relief friends every now and then so the episode can cut to their B plot

the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.

I'm gonna be real with you, i don't think weirdo kinksters should be considered acceptable collateral damage when banks/credit card companies enforce adult content bans on sites like patreon and ko-fi
