It seems theres a bunch of men getting really upset about #Barbie and calling for a doll boycott. They think the film is full-on #misandry .

Well all i have to say, is ... if they feel "hurt" over a 2 hour movie exploring how men behave towards women, (and have behaved over millennia) then its about time they did some serious reading and had serious discussion about being more adult, more informed and less whiney.

    So long as Gerwig oversees how the theme park is conceived and built ... Don't want Barbie falling into the hands of anyman who's going to stifle or CAPITALise on her voice, just for the $$$

    This week, I went over to Bluesky and asked people who'd left Mastodon why they left, and lots of people told me. I grabbed the replies and crunched them and wrote up a summary. I think it's really interesting and often kind of wrenching.

    Thank you Thank you.
    Your research is AMAZING and well timed. I am not techie and just came here after all the Twitter nonsense blew up last year but In not especially at ease here.

    Your article summed it all up perfectly for me.

    I feel very alone here. Like a lost sock in a laundromat. I miss the community and friends i had on Twitter. Hate the extreme-reach of CWs. (Let's be honest there will be someone somewhere sometime who's triggered by something.. so do we just not post anything???)

    I will stay here bc i haven't a clue how to troubleshoot my loneliness. The chats i have with ppl are fun but then i lose them again which is sad. I'm just waiting for the things you stated to improve.

    We really don't need this. Just bc he can, doesn't mean he should.

    And what the hell is FDA 'on', giving approval?

    The sooner we have something like this, the better. Our current Australian flag is too connected to British Monarchy and white Australia. Time to move on.

    Lessons I learned and quotes I heard during my first #PFLAG online meeting.

    More updates to follow, but I highly encourage you to find a #PFLAG meeting to join. They are looking for any and all #LGTBQ #Ally

    They also used the same left-handedness correlation that John Oliver showed in his amazing segment. I think it's the best way of getting the idea across that it's not new trans people, it's just trying to reach the actual amount.

    https://youtu.be/Ns8NvPPHX5Y

    Quotes from the meeting:

    "You are infringing on our parental rights."
    "Good luck finding doctors to work in rural Georgia if Senate Bill 140 passes."

    https://www.gpb.org/news/2023/03/07/lawmakers-controversial-bills-clear-senate-and-house-on-day-28

    "Follow their lead"

    "Transitioning isn't a one-time thing"

    "Ask your kid what they are comfortable having you tell other people."

    "The kids are already ahead of us."
    When your child transitions, the family transitions

    If that bill passes you have 90 days to get a Rx for #HRT.You don't have to take it. Just FYI.

    It always amazes me that nobody states the obvious: Striking is a LAST ŘESORT.

    And its NOT fun.

    It feels like you're abandoning your responsibilities which sucks.

    And for that you lose money which gives you sleepless nights.

    The money stays in the bank of the boss who's ripping you off.

    And few ppl ask for your side of the story so it's horrible having to plead for understanding.

    Please toot, clap and support ppl on picket lines.
    They want safe and fairly paid jobs and to stop the rot, so that tomorrow it isn't YOU.
