Not new, I've just had bad luck with main instance picking.
Boosts are seldom a reflection of what I think of the person posting (because I don't check unless I see red flags), but usually a reflection of what I think of the post itself.
I block random people who tag me out of nowhere (but replies are usually fine).

My nephew, referring to my cat: where'd he go?
Me: I dunno! Probably to his room--I mean, our room
My sister: No you don't mean that.

@puppygirlhornypost perisex trans people (especially nonbinary people) owe intersex people so much more solidarity than most of us give them. They're not just a pawn for arguments of our validity, and I really hope that I come across as someone safe to have community with. I think a lot of the time we can trust that intersex people are probably not transphobic like we can with other trans people, and I wish that also worked vice versa but from what I've seen it really doesn't

Today I learned that the endocrine system, CAN bus, and old time pagers work roughly the same way, pumping the system with messages that can be seen my everyone but are supposed to only be picked up by the addressee.

This is not a useful analogy for anyone but me.

@troublewithwords I mean it's useful to me because I already knew how the endocrine system works but now I know a fun fact about pagers and whatever a CAN bus is

Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?

Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@quantumg @Rayston @RickiTarr yeah no. When I was homeless I would regularly think I wanted to go home, but I could never pinpoint a location. Wanna know why? Because I was fucking homeless! And because I grew up in poverty and my entire life has been moving frantically trying to find a permanent place to stay and never, to this day, finding one. But I've always wanted a home. I have a feeling this is more common than people who decided they don't want one.

What assumptions might be made?

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Trump ahead in polls?

Biden camp doesn't believe the polls?
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-polls-denial-trump-2024-election

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

@Aviva_Gary @mekkaokereke the people who have great lives under Democratic mini-fascism are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they never have to experience what marginalized people do, so they want to make sure we stay under Democrats. But once their needs are met, they don't really give a shit about the rest of us, so they're content with just repeating the same cycle every 4 years while never fighting for the rights of those who are already oppressed no matter who's in office

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@thepoliticalcat @Aviva_Gary @mekkaokereke people with marginalized kids don't have "great lives" while their kids are at a high risk of medical malpractice or police brutality, unless they live in denial. Those who do live in denial about it are often no exception to what I said, and those who are constantly terrified for their kids' safety were never included in the first place.

As far as generalizations, I'm sure there are exceptions to my blanket statement, and yk what? They'll live.

Remember that part of freeing Palestine is fostering safety for Jewish people outside of Israel. There's a reason so many were able to be convinced to move there, and it's not that they're all genocidal. If you claim to care about the genocide going on right now against Palestinians but are also being anti-Semitic (and I'm not using that as a synonym for anti-Zionist) towards your Jewish neighbors and powering the same machine that created Israel in the first place, I don't think I believe you.

At present, I am a Mastodon gypsy. Can anyone recommend an instance with the following qualities:

  • 1,000 character limit (sorry, but I'm one of those peculiar people who need 1,000 characters or else I come across as a lunatic)
  • The ability to upload video (I'll happily chip in on hosting costs)
  • Friendly to progressives and journalists
  • No alt-right moderators
  • Admins and mods sympathetic to creative eccentrics like me

Thanks in advance!

@edwardchampion you seem to have good intentions, so I hope this is interpreted as a good-faith attempt at education, but one of the words you used is actually a slur for the Romani people. Might I suggest "nomad" as an alternative?

I like when people tell me they unfollowed me as if I’m a subscription service that's somehow losing money as a result.

I lost some followers and I’m not sure if it's because they didn't like my weak photo of the aurora borealis or didn't appreciate my question about how much teeth they like with their BJs. Probably a little bit of both.

LB anti-maskers at the beginning of the pandemic: bodily autonomy!!! You can't tell me what to do! Everyone should have free choice over what we put on our faces!
Anti-maskers now, when most immunocompromised people have given up on trying to get others not to kill us and simply avoid people and wear masks if we have to go out in public: no not like that

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

Like, I can understand the appeal to bodily autonomy re: not wearing face masks. I don't like it, and people refusing to wear masks in high-risk situations are being careless with other people's lives, but I at least can understand it.
But trying to make it illegal for immunocompromised people to protect ourselves in a way that harms no one? Stripping away our bodily autonomy by not letting us decide what goes on our own faces? Quite literally mask off in their ableism/eugenics

@Hunterrules0_o @TheBierFrau No, I don't give a damn if a trans woman uses a bathroom that I am in. Just ask the fucking question! I am not a transphobic bigot. Trans women are women.

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@Hunterrules0_o @MicheleV_AK @TheBierFrau the answer is that there is not a biological difference that makes men prone to violence. There's a societal gender role that allows and expects men to be violent (not that I'm saying we should make assumptions based on that either). But trans women are usually rejecting the societal gender role of man. They aren't under any pressure to be violent, and face violence themselves.

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@Hunterrules0_o the patriarchy, if it wasn't obvious. The patriarchy hurts men, too. Feminism is for everyone, and dismantling the patriarchy would prevent you from getting your fee-fees hurt when women don't feel safe around you. An idea for the meantime is to simply be someone they feel safe around, perhaps by quitting the misogyny trolling.
In case it wasn't clear, I agree that we shouldn't assume men are violent. But I don't blame people for prioritizing their safety over (y)our feelings.

I wish progressives could believe as much in their power together as regressives do. Yes, the regressives have that right-wing $$$, but if the $$ alone could have done it, they wouldn't have bothered trying to create disinfo campaigns to hook people through social media.

If things could turn around relatively quickly like this due to right-wing suscepts' belief in people power, they can turn the other way as well. Remember '60s counter-culture came about in reaction to repressive McCarthyism.

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@meganL it's been reassuring to see universities divesting in Israel in response to protests (even though many are dragging their heels). Kind of shows that when a lot of people care about something and organize they can make a difference. And we all know those student movements aren't absolutely rolling in money, at least not at the public universities
(Note I'm not trying to direct this post at a specific issue, just using the most recent example I can think of)

Reminder: Trump is accused of fraudulently hiding an in-kind campaign contribution.

He is not accused of having sex, which is legal. He is not accused of paying hush money, which is legal.

It does not matter whether Daniels is telling the truth. It does not matter whether she had sex with Trump. It does not matter what Daniels's motivation was. It does not matter whether Trump paid her to keep quiet.

If he knowingly conspired to hide an in-kind campaign contribution, he is guilty.

@peterainbow @GeePawHill meanwhile the rest of us are being bombarded with news about the trial too and it's just like... We get it. We've gotten it for like a decade now, for some of the younger of us. We don't want to hear more about him unless it actually affects us or the good of the people, and we're tired of seeing his face.
As you mentioned, it must also be annoying af for people who aren't even in the US /gen

I truly feel that the moment I liberated myself from the ideas of ‘doing / learning things for productivity / success’, my relationship with everything changed. Like wdym I can learn typography without becoming a designer, learn to play an instrument without ever performing, and just.. be?

There’s a lot of info about ‘perfecting a craft’ but I’d bet it would help most people to just ‘dabble in a craft’

This is a thread, it was originally on twitter posted on tumblr and i found it in my export. I think that this is a very important thing for people to hear, especially in regards to alt text on fedi. Please be mindful of the people around you, and try to make things accessible. I think that the people around me can relate to this, I have had a lot of times my short term memory would just blank out and I would have to ask over and over again for someone to repeat themselves.

@bug @puppygirlhornypost as someone included in the thread but who can see images, I think we can talk about the same isolation in other disabled people. We're all in this together and I love my vision impaired siblings and anyone else who needs accommodations to get involved in the conversation :disability_flag: :neurodiversity:
