TRANS MEN: TESTOSTERONE IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL.
I'm seeing an alarming number of boys and young men entering our online spaces scared and confused because they might be pregnant. Due to testosterone stopping their menstrual cycle, they believed it was impossible for them to get pregnant — thus they were not as cautious and safe as they otherwise would have been while with their partner.
**If you have not had a hysterectomy, you can potentially get pregnant while on testosterone.**
There are trans men several years on T who will report abruptly having their cycle again after not having one for 1-3 years. It's possible. Improbable, but possible.
You need to continue practicing safe sex even while on T.
ableist slurs (uncensored for block lists), yelling because I'm done with this shit
I really shouldn't have to fucking say this. I really, really shouldn't have to tell y'all this. Anyone with the barest amount of sense shouldn't need me to tell them this. But here we are
When you're mocking the inane bullshit that conservatives say or talking like a conservative
DO. NOT. SAY. "LIBTARD"
You don't get to say slurs just because you're ironically talking like the people who use them! This is easy to understand! None of y'all would do this for any other slur!
You can't say retard or any variation of it. Not even ironically, holy shit. It's a slur, fucking treat it like one for the love of God

"Black Wave is first and foremost a call to arms for a decentralized wave of #anarchist offensives focusing toward building a critical mass of opposition for May Day 2020 and raise the temperature of #antiauthoritarian struggle.
"Beyond that point, Black Wave is a means by which sustainable cycles of anarchist attack, defense, and growth can be created. What we are advocating this year is what we advocate for every year that this system still stands. We want to build core traditions of action that always keep the struggle burning and undermine the cycles of capitalist accumulation and social order.
"To accomplish this we've created a series of phases as instigations for loosely coordinated anarchist action. Each phase is a month long and designed to naturally lead into the next phase, but also each is vague enough that it never makes what we're doing too predictable to potential surveillance."
don't know if it's just us, or if it's an autism thing, or an anxiety thing, or what, but i'm noticing that we (attempt to) use nonverbal cues in conversation more often when we're in verbal-only conversations
this could be correlated with the fact that non-in-person conversations are generally voluntary ones, but i think part of it is just that if people can't see it we don't have to worry about them judging us for it
a bug, not a feature.
