liberals who want to help trans people:
instead of saying "trans rights", live it: give trans people money and jobs.

holy shit, someone in Germany understood the assignment!
see, if you have to depict That Moment, the very least you can do is mask off the offensive part, as demonstrated here:

as a follow-up to this: do not trust or work with any media outlet or journalist who is not plainly referring to Musk's gestures as a Nazi salute or fascist salute, or similar. he made them with full knowledge and intent, and anyone who isn't clearly identifying them as fascist symbols is a quisling and will endanger you for their own survival.

really cool that the Anti-Defamation League, ostensibly started to combat antisemitism, is calling Elon Musk openly throwing a Sieg Heil on international TV "an awkward gesture".
if you're relying on their definition of 'antisemitism', stop.

what is with able-bodied people and the tendency to go "well a lot of people use it okay…" in response to being told that something they like is fucking proprietary garbage that interferes with disabled people's ability to live their lives.

an ancillary issue:
if the purpose of "women and nonbinary people" spaces is to provide a space for people who have experienced misogyny:
every time men and boys are diminished through derogatory statements about women and girls, those men and boys are experiencing misogyny. "you hit like a girl" is misogyny. "what are you, a sissy?" is misogyny. "that's for girls," possibly spoken alongside a lip-curl or a sneer, is misogyny.
no. these spaces are created and exist out of misandry. out of a specific desire to exclude men. "all men are dangerous", "you can't trust men to not put their hands on you", and so on? that's misandry!! and women perpetuate this shit by excusing the violent behaviour of their male children. "he's just doing that [abusing you] because he likes you" is a real thing that real women (and men!) say to their very real daughters. alongside "boys will be boys". and this alongside the sexualising language uttered about boys' relationships with girls. "who's your boyfriend?" gets asked of girls who hang out with boys, for instance. [I forget the more horrible shit I've heard women say of their toddler sons; thanks, COVID.]
you cannot make a better world for everybody by excluding half the population of the planet from the conversation.

technically I'm cheating here since Okami came out in 2006, not 2005, but shhh.

also, by focusing on types of people rather than on harmful actions, we create opportunities for those actions to be performed by 'acceptable' people. this allows continued victimisation and for abusers to exist in putatively safe spaces without being held accountable, because clearly they can't be abusers by virtue of not being a man.
which is of course complete nonsense.

what we want: "queers and allies" spaces.
what people keep offering: "women and nonbinary people" spaces.
folks, I am an agender trans-feminine person. I do not pass. I have no interest in passing. passing is not a privilege I am afforded as a disabled person. I will not be welcome in "women and nonbinary people" spaces because I am not effeminate in the ways that they expect people to be. I am fat. I have hairy lower arms & legs. I have a great bald spot on the top of my head.
excluding men does not make queer spaces safer, because men are not inherently dangerous and because there are dangerous women and dangerous nonbinary people. you need to create spaces that welcomes queer people and allies, because you are just as incapable of clocking trans people as the radical feminists.

free advice to anyone who is, or may be thinking of, existing while queer or trans in the US:
do not buy a Tesla. if you have a Tesla, sell it.
Elon Musk can remotely unlock any Tesla and share any Tesla's camera footage with anyone he chooses. remember that he is anti-trans and actively courting and collaborating with fascists.

people are allowed to be infuriatingly ridiculous at any age.
bringing up someone's age when they're being ridiculous is not, actually, the dunk that you think it is. when you do that, you are implying that it's not okay to be ridiculous as an adult, and let me tell you:
ageism is fucking shit.

I don't think anyone I know needs to be told this, but
government shutdowns kill people.
Medicaid running out of money means patients, including and especially children, stop getting the lifesaving medications and treatments they need.
bay for the blood of the Republicans, but don't you dare celebrate this, or any other, shutdown.

octal is a meme base.
everybody supports it because C and shell scripting did, even though there's literally no real-world use-case for it.
hell, I've had to resort to writing a Perl script to rename a bunch of files because shell will parse any number starting with zero as octal and then break when it encounters a number that can't be octal.
there's no reason to keep supporting octal literals. none. zero. zilch. nada.
