bro they think we're mythical fucking demons im done😭😭😭
gonna have to open up my presence here with my favorite Stirner quote
this thing single-handedly defines 90% of my moral philosophy and views
i love when people are Very invested in transhistorically excluding something like astrology or phrenology from the noble and enlightening category of ‘science’ but won’t extend this to things like nutrition and weight science, or evolutionary psychology, or like 90% of tech startups, or anything else with the current imprimatur of academic institutions and state-funded research orgs. the correct answer here is that science is not & never has been morally or intellectually infallible, and has been & still can be used to propagate falsehoods, harm people, & reinforce & justify existing inequities
non-it/its users need to get their shit together fr
ok time to elaborate.
earlier today i was talking to someone and i mentioned one of my friends, and said 'yeah it was saying-' and before i could finish my sentence she interrupted me and went "it?" as if i'd misspoken. when i said "yeah, it said-" she looked at me as if i'd like insulted her or something and went "why are you calling your friends its? don't you mean they?"
i pretty much just went "nevermind" because that's not worth it (and no i'm not misgendering a friend for someone else's "comfort" like wtf) but the issue is
this. happens. every. time.
you tell someone else you use it/its? they look at you like you're fucking insane. 99% of the time they will refuse to use your pronouns because it's "offensive" to them (yknow what else is offensive? purposely misgendering me when i literally just told you my pronouns). when you talk about a friend who uses it/its pronouns, 99% of the time the other person will try to like. correct you or stop you even though they don't even know who you're talking about.
"well they/them is gender neutral too so just use th-" no. my pronouns are it/its. they/them is not it/its. they/them is misgendering.
"but it's gender neutra-" okay and? if dude said he uses he/him and you used they/them that's misgendering. why is it okay when it's it pronouns?
"but it's offensive to refer to people as-" bitch i am literally referring to myself as it/its. i am telling you directly in plain words that these are the pronouns that make me comfortable. i don't give a fuck what you think of them they are my pronouns
at this point i settle with they/them because i'm just done having people look at me like i said a slur when i tell them what pronouns i'm comfortable with.
i googled this on a whim and the first thing i get is nyt race science
just as an FYI for those who don't know - the NYT publishes things that are lowkey eugenics and phrenology and race science CONSTANTLY. it flies under the radar except for journalism twitter calling them out but the NYT SUCKS. it is very hard to encourage people to find reliable sources online when the "reliable sources" like papers of record do shit like this, and the NYT is one of the WORST offenders.
Actually everything is free, the entire world is a game of "it's yours if you don't get caught walking out with it"

“was it lawful that the supreme court ruled this way?”
what does it matter what the old shits who at every turn have ruled to allow cops to invade your private space and kill you with impunity has to say on anything new? why are you concerned if they made the right choice *this time*? why do you want to keep giving them power?
stop rooting for legal outcomes. end law. take your rights by force.
Except rights are also law. We must move out of the framework of rights altogether

very good example of what i mean when i talk about the way that the conceptualization and institutional treatment of antisemitism as religious prejudice rather than racism, coupled with a racialist conceptualization of racism as "bigotry against certain ~races~" rather than the process of racialization itself and the bigotry that stems from it, coupled with the way jews are classified (or rather, invisiblized) by legal racial categories used by the US state, allows for the argument to be made that, since jews are "not a race", and since antisemitism is clearly not actually religious prejudice, antisemitism is not actually antisemitism. obvious disclaimer that legal racial categories are obfuscatory and reinforce racialization and would be better served by self-reported ethnicity, and another obvious disclaimer that hate crime legislation is not actually effective at preventing acts of bigotry, but regardless this is a pretty good example of the way this rhetoric is deployed.
Funny how a mass arrest goes completely under the radar when it's mostly teens, right?
I don’t know what’s going on here but I’m in
girls night
Is it too much to ask to have friends who will have bonfires in the desert long after all our bones are cool and dry?
