I'm a trans person in Florida that actually found a place of work where I felt *THIS* safe and now they've taken my entire management team/safety net and I just realized that may be affecting me a little bit

This is how easy it should be

pokemon theory i just thought of: new pokemon appear in the pokemon universe when they're designed in this one. they're created ex nilho but they have retroactive realness; they weren't here yesterday, but today they've always existed.

pokemon researchers have had to suss this out on their own over decades, and it's a really unpopular theory, made worse by the fact that no one can come up with a better one. from their perspective pokemon generate spontaneously but in both chronological directions, and the similarities of many pokemon seem to be detived from a conscious and creative understanding of the world--their world, though? what other world could there be?. there are ice cream pokemon and pokeball pokemon and sword pokemon and trash bag pokemon.

there are so many pokemon with both wings and a beak. is this like swords? is there an ur-flying type that this class evokes? there are so many canine pokemon. but what is a canine? is there such a thing? there's only one set of sword pokemon, right. one tea-set line. is *feline* a coherent category? would the ur-feline have two legs or four? why do so many pokemon have humanlike bodyplans-- but then again, why so few?

pichu has always been the prior form of pikachu. why didn't it get counted in order? why do we call it that instead of saying pikachu is the middle evolution of the pichu line? why can so many trainers remember finding this out well into their journeys? why didn't ash start with one?

this is why pokemon researchers do a lot of labwork, drink heavily, and use ten year olds for field research. you can't have an existential crisis if you don't even know what time is yet.

I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.

something i keep coming back to is the fallacy of putting a time limit on indigineity in contexts where its convenient.

people deny Jewish indigineity (or at least native-ness) and its like "golly gee. wow. so you're telling me that if you exile a people from the land they originated from and are closely tied to then wait enough years you can sever their ties to their homeland. If you colonize someone hard enough you can destroy their indigineity?"

and then they say they are decolonial thinkers.

As a Walgreens employee who works in the only store open in the county for thanksgiving, I'd like to add an ask to ESPECIALLY DON'T GO TO WALGREENS

As someone who works two retail jobs, I’m not going to remind you to be kind to your local service workers. I’m going to tell you stay home and not perceive them at all. Whatever you forgot, you don’t need it. Nobody - and I mean nobody wants to hear how you “just slipped out for butter” and you can’t believe they’re “making us work today.” You are why they’re making us work and you release a certain rage inside a lot of us when you and a dozen other people say that sentence to us every. single. holiday. You and you’re inescapable need to shop. Just don’t. Just don’t buy things. Just stop. Just stop fucking buying things for one day. I dare you to make a weekend of it. Don’t buy shit! Just don’t buy anything!
