I report & block racism & TERF shit & other bigotry tooting accounts at first observation.
Finally, I consider it my boomer birthright to use the Oxford comma.
One final note: The worst, most ineffective, blundering, damaging activists I've personally known and had to work along with have always been people who chased clout first. Who valued the glory of being loudly correct more than they valued being effective.
All of them ultimately did a TON of actual damage in my real community before folks realized what they were. That they didn't really care about any of actual people here if there wasn't an opportunity for them to build up their brand.
Question for any autistic people:
When you were in middle school and high school...
a. Did anything teachers did give you particular difficulty?
b. Did you have any teachers who were particularly helpful? In what ways?
c. How did you feel about "group work" ?
Do you like camping gear but the woods… less so? Are you an irascible tea snob? Let me introduce you to the rarified world of “tea camping”
the premise is simple: prepare and enjoy excellent tea in memorable and breathtaking locations as Lu Yu the patron saint of tea intended. And further have a kit, both minimalist and traditional, high tech and timeless to make tea preparation possible under every circumstance. #tea #teacamping
It's not about "protecting the children." Anti-trans bills now increasingly target adults

Food delivery folks from #Wolt staged a protest in front of the company's venue in Helsinki.
A major point of dissatisfaction is the long hours and shit pay.
According to this article, a 12h shift of food deliveries will only make some 70€, give or take.
One of the reasons why these delivery drivers have been treated like this is because of Wolt's own propaganda efforts to brand them as "micro-entrepreneurs" instead of what they actually are, workers.
By branding them as entrepreneurs, Wolt is clearly hoping to prevent them from unionizing. But that shtick won't last forever.
This shit's absolutely unacceptable and #Wolt can suck it.
My puppy: *Has a complex inner life, actual emotions, expectations for its future, relationships*
Humans: Nah animals are just automatons and you can't be sure, so they get no moral status
An AI: Copies back probabilistically generated copies of parts of the internet
Humans: Omg I think we need to consider giving it full human moral status, authorship credit, a professorship, a seat in parliament, all the legal protections of a human AND a corporation, and the respect normally given to deity
Cis women are organising a counter protest against fascist transphobic hatemonger Posie Parker and her ilk when she comes to Dublin next month. Let's hope she gets the sort of 'céad míle fáilte' from Irish feminists she deserves.
