@aroacemagicalnerd it's definitely no great options but for me, high temporary stress tends to be more possible to slightly mitigate during or repair damage from after whereas PTSD is a lot more intractable. That said, intense short term stress can ALSO aggravate chronic issues and LEAD to trauma, so there's that too...

Now watch it though! :black_trans_knife: this is NOT the day to try one of my users. Thank you :be_cool:

@puppygirlhornypost2 LITERALLY. I was like are y'all SERIOUS with this?!

You've got to be a low-down good-for-nothing vicious loser scumbag to report mutual aid posts. You are the scum on the bottom of my shoe. You are the pubes stuck to the floor of the humid pool changing room. You are the leftover product that people spit out when chewing tobacco.

When it's guillotine o'clock for the billionaires, nasty NIMBYs are next in the lineup as far as I'm concerned. FUCK y'all

Like, liberals and conservatives both love to call each other crazy and what too many don't understand is that they are both playing the same game. They are both focusing on one kind of bigotry and claiming "I'm the good kind and you're the bad one!" or
"I'm normal and you're abnormal!" or "I am valuable and you're worthless!"

It's the same game either way and it reinforces ableism both times. Both are wrong. BOTH

So, user @samuelhayimbrody at Bluesky pointed out that this EO directly states that race is a biological reality and implies that not believing that is "insane" (link only available to signed in users: https://bsky.app/profile/samuelhayimbrody.bsky.social/post/3llgraj7kas27)

When I said that ableism is a weapon that can never be wielded on behalf of Black people and is consistently used against us, this is what I was talking about. IQ is just one example, historically and presently we also have things like drapetomania, calling all old Black men "crazy", etc. the list goes on.

So if you are out here calling people crazy, insane, stupid, moron, idiot, etc or god forbid the fucking R slur like ppl love to do, you are doing the work of the segregationists, Nazis, eugenicists, fascists, and billionaires that run the government. You are following in their footsteps and marching to the beat of their drum. Literally acting on their behalf, whether you intended to or not.

So I need for us to ask ourselves if we're really opposed to white supremacy or not. If we're really against ableism or not. If we really believe in racial and disability justice or not.

Because if you really do, what are you willing to give up? Are you willing to interrogate your casual use of language? Are you willing to reconsider your words and actions in light of new information? Are you comfortable grappling with the idea that you have the capacity to harm others? What about if you already have? Are you motivated enough to try to make restitution?

Because if you're acting like a damn collaborator and you're not okay with reconsidering that, what does that tell me about your character? Answer: everything I need to know.

"What about the *research* funding?"

I mean what about it? Do you know what we called German doctors and scientists who submitted to and worked with the Nazi regime to do science/medicine? Nazis.

If the cost of your research is "I have to help fascists do fascism" then maybe you should look for another job because I can assure you, if we survive this, nobody is gonna say "oh we totally understand that you just did Nazism to keep funding your experiments." They're gonna say "you helped Nazis."

@FinalGirl my favorite game that is impossible to win bc either you feel oversensitive or you're being mistreated!

@chatteringcrowteeth protecting your peace is very, very important. But DAMN if I don't see why you're tempted!! Would the college be reviewing submissions before they are selected?

@Isizulujam always having to try and triangulate which bigotry is getting set off this time...

@HopelessDemigod I like 2FAS on Android, but my only comparison point is Google Authenticator. Dunno if it's much different on iPhone but it's solid.

isn't it cool that the federal agents kidnapping people without a warrant are identifiable as not police because of the face coverings they've been wearing to protect their identity

Dark web more like DORK web

@charlesmagne1 is it that shocking? Knowing that universities have been completely captured by capital and are more about making money than anything else, knowing that fascists repressing student dissent is one of the oldest tactics, knowing that Trump is following a playbook that literally laid out their entire plan BEFORE the election, knowing that the right is and has been rabidly anti-intellectual for years, is it really that shocking?

This is the logical progression of work towards their clearly outlined goals, after all. I guess I wish I was more shocked.

Arresting, expelling, and revoking the degrees of students that had already graduated. Imagine that. You exercise your first amendment right, you graduate with your degree, you get a job contingent on said degree, and they take the degree away because the President doesn't like what you were protesting. This should be shocking.

Really aggravating how much AI slop populates websites these days. I can't tell you how many times I've been trying to research a product and I go to a blog or review or something on a website that has a seemingly-related URL and start reading only to realize that the page is just repeating itself over and over with slight variations in wording so it seems like more is being said.

I will say I'm getting better at recognizing the typical patterns in AI writing, but it's just so frustrating to realize that whichever site is just a gigantic waste of everyone's time bc it only exists to collect ad revenue or further build up my ad profile. And they aren't even getting that much of that bc I'm using my Mullvad VPN, DDG, and Firefox Focus for the search... So I just click away and try looking again. Ugh

@FinalGirl I wish I had walked out during the intermission...

@fkamiah17 @linuxgnome idk where he's from but he was a Senator in Delaware. A fun fact I like to share about him is that he was so pro-bank/business/corporate as a senator that they used to call him the senator from MBNA (a company that would one day become Bank of America, another lovely curse originating in Delaware)
