hey if you're a lesbian exclusionist then you can please fuck right off. Bi/Pan lesbians are valid - why the fuck are we even getting up in arms about this in a community where terminology has always been in flux, all the time??

"pan-lesbians are erasing lesbians"

is the same as

"trans women are erasing women"

should i try out ninjala, i've been hearing abt it on the tl and it sounds neat

it's also free-to-play, which is. maybe a terrible thing? but also maybe a good thing?

bi lesbians very good
pan lesbians very good

both deserve love 💕🐁

SITUATION: A PERSON COMES OUT TO YOU AS A LESBIAN

BAD RESPONSE: ASK THEM FIFTY QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE THAT THEIR IDENTITY DOESN'T HARM THE ESSENTIAL IDEA OF LESBIANISM

GOOD RESPONSE: COOL DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME BURN THINGS DOWN

Whoever instilled the idea that a minority of a community doing something cringey would invalidate an entire movement because it might mean the white cishets won’t give you rights was an evil genius

OH NO! CARMEN SANDIEGO HAS STOLEN YOUR parking spot!

What if, instead of sending mentally ill people to jail, we actually fucking treated them

Why is that a radical fucking idea

discord users: hey staff your interface is kinda inaccessible for disabled ppl, can i use an extension to make it more accessible?
discord staff: no ❤️

foss bros: "sharing software is good!"

foss bros when they find out about the glimpse fork: "this is stolen software!!!!!"

there's a certain irony in seeing a paypal ad with a rainbow flag in the area where the two capital p letters overlap, saying (translated) "we're here for you" and remembering that they make it impossible to change one's name in the account settings (e.g. to get rid of a deadname) without sending them several documents that weren't even required to open an account to begin with.

Not a subtoot, just a general request:

Please add content warnings or tags to posts regarding covid-19

It's literally everywhere and some people need a rest from it. Filters are extremely unreliable and this is the sort of thing that can ruin someone's day, and forcing people to read about it is unfair

I get that there's a lot going on, but other current events are a discussion on their own. There is absolutely no reason not to add content warnings or tags for things pertaining to covid-19

Hey listen, The Last of Us 2 features some really gross content-warning-worthy violence against trans people, but Sony keeps DMCAing anyone who talks about it, so nobody's hearing about it.

The assumption that some people seem to bring into their politics that sustainability requires destitution and an end to any ambition for the future for all of humanity is… …a dangerous one, especially given how premature it is.

We don't yet know how much further we'll be able to stretch sustainable levels of resource use when we ditch inefficiencies like massive militaries, the malignant kind of redundancy produced by "competition", and the "free market" as a whole.
