"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.

"Spousal homicide of women"

Start using the term "femicide", for the love of fuck.

No, that's not THE ONLY type of murder that can and should be deemed femicide.

The cases of MMIW, Black trans women's murders, sex workers' murders, lesbicides, and the cases of women who were never romantically or sexually involved with men who wanted them and murdered them for it all count as well.

But come ON "spousal homicide of women" is THE stereotypical example of a femicide, and often the only one laws recognize, if any is recognized at all.

It's about time that imperial core feminists start organizing around femicide, especially in the US now that abortion rights were rescinded and that no-fault divorce is about to go the same route.

#in case anyone's unaware: #femicide = murder of a woman that was related to her being a woman #it's gender violence resulting in homicide #so when you have things like domestic violence (very gendered) resulting in the murder of a woman then thats femicide #woman was killed for rejecting a man? femicide #jealous ex boyfriend becomes a murderer bc he cant accept the relationship is over? femicide #honor killings? femicide most of the time #bc those kinds of crimes are highly gendered #the gigantic majority of the time you'll have a man killing a woman in those situations #because the murder is related to ideas men have about how theyre allowed to do whatever they want to women #abt how they feel entitled to women #seeing women as objects that belong to them #that kind of thing #if it's a situation like a robbery that ends in murder and the victim happens to be a woman then thats not very likely to be femicide #bc femicide isnt just homicide where the victim is a woman #it's homicide where the victim being a woman was an important factor. it's specifically gender violence

Tags via @gray-warden

According to rather recent Chilean law (and for once I happen to agree, unsurprising since it was the result of intense feminist organizing and protesting) femicide also includes a man or men murdering a woman for failing to adhere to standards of proper femininity/womanhood; thus including lesbicides, transfemicides, travesticides and the murder of female sex workers as patriarchal retaliation for their occupation.

Like the user who posted the tags says, femicide is the most lethal culmination of gendered violence. It's murder motivated by patriarchal bigotry.

Three Syrian survivors counter Greek authorities’ Pylos shipwreck narrative: ‘They tied a rope, we capsized, they sailed away’ - Syria Direc

Around 150 Syrians were among the estimated 750 people on board the vessel that capsized near Pylos last Wednesday. Only 104 people survived

I get why people are talking about the whole submarine titanic thing.

It's awful.

But I'm here to address a different boat related tragedy.

One that absolutely breaks my heart.

Where a boat of migrants sank off the coast of Greece.

This boat had 300 Pakistanis and more than 500 Syrians.

The boat was carrying migrants from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Egypt who were fleeing their countries dire economic conditions.

And we're trying to reach relatives in Europe.

What happened with the submarine is a terrible thing.

I just wish this story got the same coverage.

One is about billionaires the other about people escaping economic disasters.

Both about people losing their lives.

This definitely reminds me of the captain, Carola Rackete, who rescued 42 refugees at sea was facing jail time for her kindness and for helping them—because Italy’s policy was to NOT help refugees at sea.

(source)

There are two completely different standards for rescues at sea, depending on your country of origin and your skin color.

And refugees and asylum seekers from the global south are treated just as badly on land.

These glaring double standards are racism, plain and simple.

And for the record, anyone and everyone from the Greek Coastguard ship who helped sink the boat full of innocent men, women and children need to face a lifetime in prison.

Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?

You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”

And, yes, of course, but… :)

However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.

Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.

It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…

And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.

If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]

Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.

The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.

Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.

The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.

That will kill all remaining life on Earth.

So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully

We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.

The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.

However, we make it run…

So we can make it STOP. Together.

How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames

endquestionmark

like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture

oakmonger

Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone

lizbukchoy

Tooting my horn a bit here as I worked on it, and it’s obv information from one place and perspective not a community message board, but if you haven’t visited TransHub, it’s full of great and verified information and is run by a NFP in Australia so is likely to stay up despite what’s going on overseas. Also like 95% of the information is non-location specific, so despite it being written in Australia it’s super valuable no matter where you are.

Three of the biggest Reddit communities reopened in the funniest way possible

“All posts must be images of John Oliver looking sexy.”

The Verge

In case you haven't been keeping up with the latest in Reddit drama:

CEO backhandedly threatens to seize control of shuttered subreddits that are protesting, by replacing the mods with more pliable/amenable ones
He couches this as the need to respect the will of the people, because the entire narrative he's been spinning is that only a few people are ruining the site for everyone
He also de-legitmizes all the hard work mods have done cultivating and maintaining popular subreddits by equating them to "landed gentry"
Some subreddits (like r/apple) reopen under duress, because they don't want to have their hard-earned communities stolen from them
Others (r/gifs, r/aww, r/pics) decide to go the malicious compliance route. After all, if this is all about respecting the will of the people, then let's by all means give them the same sort of narrow pathway forward that the CEO himself is offering
They put up polls with 2 choices: Either everything goes back to the way it was before the protests, or every post must be John-Oliver-related (i.e., sexy pics of John Oliver, gifsets of John Oliver, etc etc etc)
I mean after all, let's give the people choice, just the sort of choice you're offering mister CEO?
John Oliver wins in a landslide
Meanwhile, John Oliver - who has been conspicuously silent on Twitter since May1st (as he respects the writer's strike) - breaks his silence to give blessing.
He doesn't just give blessing though - he starts supplying embarrassing photos of himself to stoke things
The people have spoken

crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis

synthient

even setting aside the fact that gendered bodytype averages aren't universals, and plenty of individual (cis) women and (cis) men could easily go to toe to toe. have we considered that the fact that all the most prominent and well-paid sports are ones that require things like Being Tall and Having Muscle Mass, as opposed to, ex, gymnastics...is itself an artifact of sexism

beemovieerotica

also to people who are like "well do you think WOMEN should be playing AMERICAN FOOTBALL against MEN" actually I don't think anyone should be playing american football on account of, you know, the irreversible brain damage.

thedietcokedyke

In my home state (Pennsylvania) there’s a rule that if your school doesn’t offer a sport for your sex you can play on the other sexes team. My sister played plenty of field hockey teams that had a couple of boys on them and like it was fine? They weren’t meaningfully better.

saw a post abt HBO removing shows that suggests ppl just “burn dvds” but everyone doesnt know how to do that so here is one way to do that

- get blank dvds (Both +R or -R work, I think +R is slightly cheaper, the difference is rewritability), these are not very expensive for the amount you can get in bulk (if you are in the US 100 of them is about 30$ at walmart)

- an external DVD drive that plugs in via usb is also around 20-40$ (it tends to be closer to 20)

- download DVDFlick (free)

- if you don’t already have the mp4/mpeg of whatever media you want to burn, you can download movies/shows off of sites like gomovies.sx and soap2day

gomovies.sx will have a download button that looks like this

below the video you can choose one of these

if you click streamlare for example and then the download button it will take you here where the mp4 is

(if you’re on an iphone/ipad, clicking download will save it to your files app)

- if you cant find the download button on soap2day you can also install a video downloader extension which will find the movie for you

- at this point you can drag and drop it into a google drive or keep it on your computer but if you still want it on dvd ->

- open dvd flick, drag and drop the video

- click “project settings”

- give it whatever title you want, you can change encoder to “normal” (default is below normal if you are doing other things on the computer). you dont need to change target size or thread count (unless you want to)

- insert a blank dvd into your drive, make sure you click “burn project to disc”

- click accept then click “create dvd” next to menu and project settings. it will create a destination folder and this dialogue box will pop up when you click “create” on more dvds, just click “yes” and then “okay” on the box that appears after it

it’ll take a couple hours, once its done take a sharpie & write whats on it and stick it in a case . or dont . im not ur mom

I hate Nintendo Switch Online. I hate the lack of optimization. I hate the expensive subscription service. I hate the lack of games. I hate the limited time releases. I hate that it's never gonna have the level of content that the Wii virtual console had. I hate what capitalism has done to gaming.

This collection includes: All the GBA, GB and GBC games currently available on the Switch!!

+ And a few extra bonus!! Mostly from the same series'seses

They're all ready to be played in HD on PC. Just drag and drop the files on the included program

Target audience right here!! The joy of gaming and sharing it with others is the reason i post and i made this blog. Enjoy the Kirbyses very much, and do remember to support the official release whenever possible

don't panic buy games because of the eshop shutdown!!!! the memes are not lying It is genuinely very easy to hack your 3ds!!! please do it!!!!

3ds.hacks.guide

(don't follow video guides they are very often outdated and it's easier to make mistakes that way. this guide is very detailed with step by step instructions and they even have a support server in the event you have any trouble! i understand it might seem intimidating but risks of bricking or banning are very minimal at this point you will be glad you did it)

moonsidesong

also you might have heard around you need a certain eshop app to homebrew, this was Once true but is now FALSE as the current method does NOT require any existing app.

so if you don't have time right now, don't worry! you will still be able to after the eshop shutdown. there is not a time limit for being able to hack your 3ds.

moonsidesong

HEY!!!!! NEWS!!!!! (as of may 22 2023)

nintendo just released version 11.17.0 for the 3DS, and it breaks pretty much every known hacking method from my understanding, but doesn't seem to break any existing CFW.

if you HAVE NOT yet hacked your system, don't update until you have.

if you HAVE hacked your system, double check your current version of Luma3DS by holding select on startup. if you have v11.0 or later, it is safe to update! (if you have v10.0 or earlier, update Luma before updating your system!)

and as always, in the event you run into issues or have concerns, please check into the support server and ask for help. (linked in the guide page)

So, a funny thing happened on trigun twitter

(amazon link where its 50% off as of May 8th: https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Lose-Time/dp/1534430997/)

Update, “this is how you lose the time war” is now #21 on Amazon’s bestseller’s list

(semi-related note but I too have now ordered the book)

another update: Amal El -Mohtar wrote a small article on her blog (https://amalelmohtar.com/i-tried-to-title-this-post-for-twenty-minutes-and-failed/), one which contains the words “[…] and the upshot of it all is that corporate marketing people at Simon & Schuster now know the name Bigolas Dickolas.”

Further update!

Time war has reached #7 on the amazon bestseller’s list and is still discounted!
