in honor of pride month I say to also be inclusive to "straight" and "cis" because the last thing we want is to push our allies out of our spaces. there are straight transfems, there are lesbian cisgenders we fall under the LGBTQ+ in a variety of ways. it’s important to be respectful of that. there are also cishets questioning their experiences wanting to learn more. please do not make these folks feel left out or unwanted during pride. that is all.
this is why I don’t make jokes such as "there’s straight people on fedi?!" because there are. you know they’re even with us right now as trans folk, as asexual, aromantics as intersex. I’m not calling anyone out but I do know from my talks with those groups they feel left out of "mainline" lgbtq+ culture because of things like that.
@puniko@mk.absturztau.be@ashten@woem.men yeah I mean there are other administrators, mods online when I log off so it’s not like "oh nooo u just left your instance to fester oh no :(" I am allowed to take breaks too and most of the time I post on here personally instead of for admin purposes :3d_blobcat_exciting:
@puniko@mk.absturztau.be@ashten@woem.men thing is i may be interested in the wwdc stuff a bit later when it has calmed down and is not being shitposted, same information on repeat etc… so I don’t want to use mutes…
@puniko@mk.absturztau.be@ashten@woem.men I process fedi raw and I swear there are things that make me go "god damn it I am just logging off of fedi until my timeline clears of this shit"
@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run it's so fucking stupid to me that we do not treat electricity as a basic need. you are unable to do a lot of a modern lifestyle without any power. Yes we have things like gas, and other stuff that you can use without relying solely on electricity as medium for "work" but our public infrastructure does not have a giant cog we can just use to get kinetic energy lol... so it's genuinely dystopian to see when power prices are raised and when power companies prioritize business over any other customer. especially considering that a lot of people are using medical equipment at their house and battery backups (even if they have them won't last that long) are extremely expensive. Water rights are such a stupid concept because companies should not be treated as private individuals. There is a difference between someone who uses water wisely is conservative with it and a company like Nestlé who buys up water rights to use all of the water to then sell back to the same people that the water was taken from because there's no alternative.
@ireneista@adhd.irenes.space@hrefna@hachyderm.io@goatsarah@thegoatery.dyndns.org it's sad I've heard cases of transfems stunting breast growth in order to not be ousted while having the benefits of hrt... all of the things like that they go through just to feel a bit more in line with their gender because they live in too hostile of an environment to feel safe or comfortable doing social transitioning... now a lot of it is more focused on "well these chemicals are known precursors, we cannot tell you how to make this because every method we give out is going to be promptly blocked by law enforcement" reminds me a lot of the DEA... I find it so dystopian we are "just all okay" with the DEA monitoring benign objects such as round bottom flasks... it just makes it a pain to go through and prove that you are using it for a genuine purpose while the people trying to use it illicitly go more towards improvised things often getting themselves hurt... or they get it from other countries with laxer regulations anyway and it shatters the illusion...
