You know that’s not true

Oh I thought it was just a couple random people getting squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room? So you admit that it’s an organized effort. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone move their goalposts in the wrong direction before lmao

Outlawing gender affirming medical care has zero impact on sports, you willful liar. No, the truth is that the people behind this movement are targeting trans people because they’re the most convenient vulnerable group to rally hateful bigots around right now. Gay people are acceptable, the dog caught the car on the abortion “debate,” and they need a new boogeyman to leverage to whip votes

He followed Glenn Greenwald down the “I feel like people don’t respect my leftism enough, so I’m gonna join the alt-right” path

The secret ingredient is ✨🌈 misogyny ✨🌈

Stop lying. The massive, coordinated effort to outlaw gender affirming medical care is so much more than “a couple people feel squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room.”

benefits and protections generally reserved for females

Omfg, please leave right now

“Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they’re choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns.”

“I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the “real” data?”

This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book

Here’s a crazy radical idea: Wealth does not improve people beyond a certain point. Leisure time and lack of stress improve people. The American culture of work yourself to death to accumulate is killing us and it’s killing the world. It’s time to stop.

Work, make enough money to provide, have plenty of leisure time to relax and spend with your family. Those are the lives we should be striving for.

Why is less productivity a horrible thing? Why is wanting a good wage for just showing up and doing your normal job a bad thing? Why is having no interest in moving into management so atrocious?

It’s way past time to start questioning American work culture. I shouldn’t be expected to be operating at the razor’s edge of my ability to keep up with everything constantly and forever for the rest of my life. I just want to punch a clock, do my job, and also be able to afford my mortgage for having done that and nothing more.

“Unions make people lazy” “Unions make people less creative, less likely to work to fix problems” “Unions make employees fight with each other” “Unions mean we’ll earn less money”

The propaganda I’ve heard from older generations is really incredible. We’re still actively unionizing lol

But it’s also about cost. Nuclear is far more expensive upfront, more expensive to maintain, and more expensive to decommission. Cheap, agile renewables will be an easier option for the vast majority of the planet

I’m a nepo buyer ✋

My American Boomer parents view helping my sister and I out with things like this as a legal early inheritance transfer to make up for how long we expect their lives to go on. In that way, this isn’t really different from being able to buy things because you received an actual inheritance after your parents died.

The problem isn’t the people who are able to do this. The problem is that other people for generations have been systematically robbed from also being able to do this. We should have government programs to provide this service for those people to make up for that generational theft.

Also: Jesus, Canada, build some fucking housing what the fuck. I knew it was bad, but I assumed it was on par with the US.

Of course it’s a black girl

I (a middle-aged white woman) have dyed my hair black, red, blond for decades and not even one single time has anyone suggested that those aren’t “natural colors” even though they were obviously not MY natural brown hair color.

Yeah they’re more expensive because the sellers had just as hard a time getting them to live as you are lol. The cheap ones are cheap because they’re effortless to maintain
