So a few days ago I said I wanted to talk a bit more about the worldview behind that little book of 1980s lesbian feminist cartoons I have. Because it’s the kind of feminism I remember from when I was a student, and it’s the kind of feminism so many TERFs and their allies in the U.K. started with.

I’ll start with some scans...

Is there still a leftist Indian part of the fediverse or did it die off?

if you're white and you use the internet, you have a duty to ensure that the spaces you are in are not a safe space for white supremacists. no, "oh but I like this person and they've never done anything in MY group" -- listen to us. listen to what we have to say. report people to the mods or if it's an ongoing problem, *leave the fucking group and let people know why you're leaving*.

make mods explain their decisions. make it uncomfortable. make it weird.

it's the LEAST you can do.

I'm not gonna fill your twitter with this as I'm sure it's already full to bursting and I don't wanna pile on, BUT...

*Turns slowly and looks at the camera towards every person who said trump was 'Harmless' and asked 'What we have to lose' by electing that racist*

Rome entered a terminal crisis in the 200s AD. But it took 200 more years for the western half of the empire to fall and 1,200 years for the eastern half to finally bite it.

Despite its failure, successor civilizations used its memory to claim legitimacy for millennia, with the Holy Roman Empire not ending until less than 200 years ago. The state religions of both the eastern and western empires persist to this very day.

Political and social systems can continue on for literally eons after they've proven themselves to be irredeemably defective.

I think about that when people talk about "Late Capitalism."

For a touch of background, this story was born out of a somewhat random ych i got a while ago - it then also diverged greatly, but still, this was what caused the story to exist :) weasyl.com/~oddthesungod/submi

“A female colleague and [I] had dared to discuss wage transparency and gender pay gap in the office … Unfortunately we miscalculated – our boss Matthias was beyond furious. After that office meeting, he told my colleague ‘there will be consequences.’ … I want to expose the hypocrisy and double standards in FSFE leadership. How the organisation ‘promoting’ transparency, equality and inclusivity treats employees and more specifically women.”

Brexit 

Just heard an advert reminding EU citizens that their settled status doesn't apply to their children who must apply separately to else they may lose access to the NHS and education.

Please pass this along to anyone you think may be effected as this is quite important.

What kind of country have we decided to become? This is awful policy.
