in a world where a prominent branch of anti-trans activism focuses on fearmongering about "parents' rights," trans rights and youth rights become inextricable.

trans kids deserve to be called the right pronouns and the right name by schools and doctor's offices, regardless of "parental consent." trans kids deserve to undergo the right puberty at the same time as their cis peers, regardless of "parental consent."

the very concept of "parents' rights" is a smokescreen that enables the abuse and dehumanization of children by adults. this is bad for cis kids, too.

Americans invented tbe worlds burgled and burglars to apply to robberies because the concept of losing their burger is the scariest thing to them

The head of the EPA is suggesting that the “chemtrails” conspiracy is real, but given his approach to actual environmental issues, why would he even be opposed to chemtrails if they were real? His whole thing is tearing environmental protections apart. Even if airlines were purposefully poisoning the air, he’d be fine with it

I always want to chew through drywall when I hear about “science is a lie” “science is brainwashing you” “science is indoctrination” because science isn’t a BELIEF, it’s a SKILL, it’s a TOOL used to determine whether something is trustworthy.

“mathematics are corrupting the youth” “the Dewey decimal system is ruining society” “geometry is threatening our way of life” like listen to that shit

If your house has no right corners and you routinely buy Throckmorton quantities of dish soap par accident then math isn’t your enemy, David

There is an alarm going off at my work and nobody can fix it or turn it off. Does anyone know any good music that pairs well with a shrill ringing, tempo approx 240 bpm

the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

hey man everyone loved how convenient and easily forgettable you were on earth. u were the least inconvenient person out there. my buddy told me you were super helpful and nice and didn't take up any space and just slid away from their mind as soon as they stopped looking at you. it was really impressive how little of an impression you made on anyone. sucks that it didn't save you man.

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.

Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.

Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

This is why classes need library instruction

Me: Alright, and what/where have you tried searching?

Student: I searched “creating a culture of sharing in west-coast technological companies” on the library website!

Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

The thing is us communists are criticized for our lifestyle no matter what we do or how we live.

Are you rich? You are a fake communist because you are bourgeois. Are you poor? You are bitter and resentful you couldn't succeed under capitalism and you are just envious of the rich.

Do you work a boring, middle income, white collar job? You are a hypocrite because you are working for the man who is oppressing you and live off the system you are criticizing. Also you are not even a real worker because you aren't poor.

Do you work a minimum wage difficult proletarian job? You are bitter/resentful/so on and so on and also probably too stupid to understand politics anyway.

Do you work an unconventional job such as being a YouTuber, small business owner, writer, etc? Not a real worker.

Unemployed? Not a real worker also bitter/resentful/lazy yada yada yada.

Life style critiques of socialists are never in good faith. Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot be a communist because you don't look the part. In the eyes of the enemies of the working class, no one who stands up for the working class has a right to do so.
