With the situation in the UK getting worse for trans people, it’s becoming impossible to start my transition through NHS, and going private here costs thousands. So ive chosen to make a Ko-Fi account~ I dont usually like asking others for help but this is really the only way I think I have any chance of finally starting my transition, so if anyone can help, even if you just share it, I would greatly appreciate it~ https://ko-fi.com/ladydevoir

Fascism sells a synthetic nostalgia.
As good a time as any to remind folks of the 14 properties of "ur-fascism" (described by Umberto Eco, who grew up in Italy under Mussolini, in his 1995 essay Ur-Fascism). Not all need be present for single regime to be fascist, but a Venn diagram of all fascist regimes will cover them all.
Beware of anyone that tells you:
"we have to oppress some people to make things right but don't worry, we're not talking about you"
They're not talking about you YET.
Oppression never stops when its just oppression for others. It doesn't stop until its oppression for all.
A woman who was named “Teacher of the Year” in Idaho has moved state following intense criticism of her views on LGBTQ+ issues and Black Lives Matter. Karen Lauritzen, named Idaho Teacher of the Year in September 2022, said she is no longer teaching in Idaho after receiving intense scrutiny of her pro-LGBTQ+ views, despite not including LGBTQ+ subjects on her curriculum. It has been reported that, despite Lauritzen’s win – which was awarded after a “rigorous” application process – after being named Teacher of the Year, she was met with right-wing attacks accusing her of “promoting transgenderism” at school, and being a “left-wing activist”.

sorry im laughing but that's not army fatigues that's more than likely hunting camo asd;lkfjasd
Camo is camo innit
In that case I will not change my behaviour
I feel like Samus Aran, when she’s not on a mission, would have a Tony Hawk type experience with people not recognizing her without her armor. Like she’d get carded buying alcohol or something and the cashier would go “Samus Aran? Ha, it’s spelled just like the bounty hunter too. I wonder what he’s up to now?”
She would definitely take advantage of this when she goes to lesbian bars and stuff. She’d just tell the cute alien girls her name is Sammy because if they knew she was the great Samus Aran they’d expect her to top
I originally put a shortened version of this in the tags but I feel it’s worth adding. Imagine being the alien girl at a lesbian bar on a federation space station. You meets this cute tall human girl who calls herself Sammy and you hit it off and share some drinks and eventually Sammy invites her back to her place. Her place is a space ship that you swear looks familiar but you can’t remember where you’ve seen it. Anyway you disregard it and spend the night fucking the brains out of this buff blonde tgirl. Then in the morning when you go to leave you make a wrong turn and catch a glimpse of the power armor belonging to the bounty hunter known across the galaxy. Imagine the realization that this “Sammy” girl you plowed into the mattress last night is singhandedly responsible for saving the universe multiple times
What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"
What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."
What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."
would you put a discarded fruit sticker on my forehead in whimsical jest yes or no

terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women's FIDE competitions, because it's sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can't play chess on the same level. girl that's not feminism that's literally just misogyny
i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it's common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i'm starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that's what it's built for. but nowadays we don't think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don't keep address books anymore because it's all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it's all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you're still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.
