I love how many privileged people tell that their stupid understand of free speech works to us, who for most of us have noticed for years that it doesn’t work at all how they think it does.

We couldn’t ban nazi and TERF as a whole on Twitter. Talking to them only made it worse. We would be suspended for telling it’s good to punch them, while they were allowed to spread their hate all day long.

They don’t get that their understanding of free speech is totally backwards and disconnected.

if i was a magic card id be pushed to the point of ppl calling for bans before im released but id have no impact on the metagame bc i die to removal

what if magic story emulated discworld instead of the mcu, wouldn't that be great

Announcing these things explicitly is good, even if you can't change the limitations of your event location:
You're giving people who have need of this information a way to establish their priorities, and if they *want* to face the risk or challenge to attend.

If your event is in a location that is inaccessible or unsafe for some potential attendees (due to location/weather/politics/…), it would be fair to point this out.
You probably can't move, but you can communicate that the event is in a very narrow, or hot, or right-wing place.

"I wish for a family."

"Don't you already have one?" asked the genie.

"I wouldn't mind a better one..."

"Do you wish for your current family to be..." the genie made a grim gesture.

"No! No I mean... I guess I like them but I have to be someone very specific for them."

"Understood."

With a solemn magical nod, the means of a new family appeared in my hands.

"A laptop?"

"With unlimited internet access and airline miles."

"Yesss."

plural joke 

Pluralphobic that our face doesn't reveal the swirling mist of individuals floating around in our head.

just read the word "twinkling" and thought "ah, a small twink" I'm logging off forever

If you ever think “wow, the owner of this business treats me and the other employees well,” remember that they could turn the business into a worker-owned collective...and they choose not to.

sorry, i prefer to watch shrek in the original japanese

Antikink rhetoric is ableist 

Some people, due to being ND or disabled, cannot engage in vanilla sex.

Either it is too painful, uncomfortable or just boring.

For some with chronic pain, pain play is a way to gain control over the concept of the pain they experience.

Some autistic people gain no pleasure from vanilla sex due to sensory issues, but find pleasure in kink.

For some, vanilla sex isn’t something they’re physically capable of, or is very uncomfortable, but kink is pleasurable and comfortable to preform.

Some autistic people enjoy ‘unusual’ kinks, for some of us it is the only thing we sexually engage with.

Antikink sentiment directly harms disabled people and our sexual expression.

Not sure if I've seen this on masto before but I'll post about it again anyway..
