“white feminism did not change the gendered distribution of labor, it merely outsourced it to black women. Paraphrasing this claim, I argue that when gays and lesbians adopted a gender normative model of homosexuality, they outsourced the deviance status to gender variant individuals” (Katri, 2017) damning tbh
anti-discrimination law w/r/t transness as it's currently pursued threatens to outsource "deviance" once more, to non-passing trans folks, or trans folks without stable employment, or trans PoC, or to GNC people who don't ID as trans, or to non-binary people, or to trans people who can't or don't want to medically transition in one or more ways
nazi
Ok, so I saw some shit about Milo beefing with Spencer.
What I didn't see was anyone talking about how a CUNY professor got outed as a nazi co-host on Spencer's show.
CUNY is full of immigrants and POC, and this Josh Deitz motherfucker was teaching classes there?
This feels like an example of the fediverse being so white that nobody cared to mention this. I saw plenty of shitposts making fun of how ridiculous the beef was, tho.
Tesla, swatting
Tesla tried to have a whistleblower swatted, then placed on an involuntary hold, as retaliation for talking about unsafe working conditions. https://twitter.com/PlainSite/status/1197592445812232192
Why don't tech bros or other "visionaries" ever unveil the bus of the future in big events?
The bus requires virtually no additional infrastructure, can have its routes organically changed and is relatively affordable.
I am all for transportation infrastructure investment in the US in trains and light rail but the bus is a solution that can be implemented better right now.
I want to see what a future bus looks like, not what some insecure man's need to take up space and waste gas looks like.
The only time I was punished for anything related to shoplifting is when I was the one who lifted!
And considering this only happened to me *once*, despite me stealing almost daily from almost all of my jobs, tells you that this is straight-up bullshit
Like these people really must be naive enough to think lifting is this rare and unexpected thing, lmao. If someone got fired *every time* something was stolen, there would be exactly 0 retail workers anywhere in the world
a bug, not a feature.
