Perhaps this is why one day in New Haven, staring into the semicircle of oak trees in my backyard, I wondered what it would mean to ask random white men how they understood their privilege. I imagined myself — a middle-aged black woman — walking up to strangers and doing so.
“You should be allowed to say no,” Dr. Lalich said when I asked her how to tell if you’re in a healthy group relationship. “To question anyone in the hierarchy including the dominant. You should be allowed to leave when you want, without any rebuke or shunning. You shouldn’t be made to believe that this is the only way to live. You should be able to untie the bonds!”
De plus, comme il n’y a pas de papier, l’urinoir ne peut pas se boucher (comme cela arrive souvent dans les toilettes de festivals).
Zéro intimité et pas possible de s'essuyer donc... Les inconvénients de l'urinoir habituel et... Pas d'avantage ? 🤔
Mais voulez-vous demain qu'un logiciel décide de ce qui est bon pour vous ?
Le logiciel (ici, Tusky) ne décide pas de ce qui est bon pour vous. Le créateur du logiciel décide juste que si tu veux utiliser son logiciel pour discuter avec tes copains nazis ben tu forkes.
C'est ce que tout le monde dit tout le temps pourtant. Si une fonction d'un logiciel te convient pas, c'est libre, t'as qu'à forker.
Ça dit beaucoup de choses sur vous que vous insistiez tous pour forcer la main à quelqu'un qui développe un logiciel libre sur son temps libre alors que vous passez normalement votre temps à dire qu'il faut se sortir les doigts du cul et forker dès que vous voyez une personne être insatisfaite d'une fonctionnalité.
Alors voilà. Fedilab et Tusky sont des logiciels libres. Vous êtes libres de copier et modifier le code source du logiciel selon vos désirs. Alors appliquez votre raisonnement à vous même, sortez vous les doigts du cul et forkez.
Clairement tu n'as pas tout suivi.
Personne n'est allé emmerder fedilab jusqu'à ce que l'auteur retire le blocage de gab de son application. Il l'avait ajouté par peur de Google et retiré quand il a été convaincu que son application risquait pas grand chose. S'écraser devant Google et ensuite utiliser de l'énergie pour activement permettre aux nazis de se connecter, c'est ça le problème avec fedilab.
Tusky ne se fait emmerder que par les fachos puisque les développeureuses ont été très volontaires pour implémenter le Rick rolling des gens qui se connecteraient à gab. Harcèlement sur github, campagne de dénigrement sur le play store et menace d'être flaggé "antifeature" sur fdroid. Il est où le soutien des gens pas nazis contre le harcèlement là ?
C'est d'ailleurs ça qui a forcé fdroid à prendre position. Un défenseur des gabistes (qui est aussi ouvertement transphobe) a demandé à fdroid de taguer Tusky comme n'étant pas libre. Il est aussi aller chouiner chez Stallman pour lui demander de confirmer que la "liberté d'exécution" était trahie. Il est bien passé pour un con quand Stallman lui a répondu que rien n'empêchait les gens de forker et de retirer le blocage et donc que Tusky est toujours libre.
Devant la volonté des nazis de retirer Tusky de fdroid, des gens ont demandé, en réaction à fdroid de flagger fedilab comme permettant la promotion du hate speech. Pas seulement parce que fedilab ne bloque pas gab, mais parce que fedilab a retiré le blocage de gab qui avait été implémenté par peur de Google.
Si les nazis avaient pas fait chier Tusky sur fdroid, personne serait aller faire chier fedilab sur fdroid.
Ultimately, giving feedback is a way for us to participate in the experience with our partner instead of relying on them to magically lead the entire experience on their own.
Capitalism is fundamentally invested in notions of scarcity, encouraging people to feel that we never have enough so that we will act out of greed and hording and focus on accumulation. Indeed, the romance myth is focused on scarcity: There is only one person out there for you!!! You need to find someone to marry before you get too old!!!! The sexual exclusivity rule is focused on scarcity, too: Each person only has a certain amount of attention or attraction or love or interest, and if any of it goes to someone besides their partner their partner must lose out.
In his correspondence with Collin, he relates that he is sad to hear that Collin had engaged to a woman at the time, since he has strong romantic feelings for him. Anderson related his feelings to being "feminine" in nature, or that he had "womanly" sentiments towards Collin. This is around the same time The Little Mermaid is written.
The ratings say people will watch women's soccer.
This June, a comic cast of “allies” has emerged to pay tribute to Pride, many at the site of Stonewall itself. Each is more menacing than the last: famous white woman Taylor Swift, serial hair-sniffer Joe Biden, the NSA, and even ICE. Swift and Biden’s public relations cameos at the Stonewall Inn confused the movement with the place that happened to spark an uprising. These lip service homages smear the significance of Stonewall and other acts of insurgency that continue to serve as pillars of trans and queer liberation.
While the denunciation of bigots in this video may be welcome to most, the form of it is profoundly unsettling. The ugliness of these hillbilly fascists is absolute, with no glint of even the Diane Arbus kind of amusement, let alone the John Waters kind, to alleviate the sense of revulsion; it’s not fun or silly, like everything in the rest of the video. There’s no immediate threat of violence or even the slightest interaction with the gross hate-yokels—the fun, beautiful gay people just ignore them effortlessly, as they sunbathe in their sunglasses and adorable togs. Those lowlife can scream all they want! They will forever be entirely beneath the notice of the Beautiful People.
"While I love the fact that LGBTQ+ nightlife is expanding and becoming more welcoming to all of us within our community, lesbian specific spaces have suffered, I think, from this inclusivity," said Story, who is co-creator of the local award-winning podcast “Strange Fruit” on WFPL public radio, where she discusses politics, pop culture and black gay life.
In 2012, Story met her now-wife Missy Jackson at Purrswaytions, where Jackson was performing as her drag king persona, "King Mystikal."
"All inclusive LGBTQ+ bars and clubs now host straight bachelorette parties, and many straight-identified folks feel right at home within queer spaces in a way that they didn’t before," she said.
While most of us are familiar with spin the bottle, there are many other kissing games out there. And while these games might be most popular with kids and teenagers, they can be a lot of fun for adults to play, too. As always, consent is important, so make sure everyone at your party is okay with swapping spit with each other before the game begins — or maybe modify a few rules to allow the kiss-ee to choose to be kissed on the lips, cheek, hand, or other body parts.
C'est pas pour ça qu'on dit qu'il faut éviter d'installer le premier deb qui traîne ? ^_^
It lasted about ten seconds. I was just about to say, “This really hurts,” when, suddenly, it didn’t hurt anymore, and the doctor was snapping off her gloves.
“Was that it?” I said as I felt the speculum come out. The doctor didn’t say anything, but my companion said, “That’s it. You did great.”
“Holy shit,” I said. “That was hands down the best abortion I ever had in my whole fucking life. You’re amazing.”
J’en ai gros ce matin alors voilà une réflexion sur le besoin de se considérer soi même autrement que comme “né comme ça”
Cette théorie de l’absence de choix dans l’identité de genre est calquée sur l’argument de l’absence de choix dans l’orientation sexuelle.
Mais vendre un jeu solo qui a 3 ans 60€, je trouve perso que c'est une arnaque.
Ben en fait c'est plus le même jeu qu'il y a 3 ans en fait. Depuis il y a eu la refonte des quêtes, l'ajout de véhicules terrestres, la construction de base, un mode multi rudimentaire, l'ajout des croiseurs, la refonte des portails, un éditeur de personnages, la construction de bases sous marines, un vrai mode multi, la gestion de flottes. Et cet été une nouvelle mise à jour majeure qui ajoute entre autres un mode VR.
Comment ça je fangirl ? Non !
There really is a gay agenda—one concerned with combating LGBTQ discrimination. But that agenda—at least as embodied by prevailing LGBTQ equal rights discourse—has often been a relatively conservative one that aligned with and reinforced traditional, market-friendly values.
Semenya’s revelations are important because the IAAF claims that taking a pill to suppress testosterone levels is safe and unintrusive, and that this is a humane way to discriminate. Her experience contradicts those claims. But her honesty is also important because it reminds us all that this is not really about appeals or court filings, fairness or protecting women’s sports. It’s about rules rooted in racism, sexism, and homophobia, that aim to control women’s bodies through any means necessary.
Investigative journalists have discovered hundreds of law enforcement officers around the country who are active in members-only Facebook groups that are based on racism, hate and ... well, it would be nice to add a third thing here, but that’s about it.
For book lovers, there is no better place to work remotely than in the local public library. Even a fellow Rioter has commented on how the trend of “co-working spaces” actually fits what public libraries have been for ages.
In January 1966, The Washington Post ran a four-part series on how women in the Washington area obtained abortions. At the time, abortion was illegal with few exceptions in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. Now, nearly a half-century after Roe v. Wade, new abortion restrictions are being imposed in Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Utah and other states. Below is an abridged version of The Post’s four-part series, edited to highlight personal experiences.
What should I think when someone I’ve been flirting with all night tells me they’ve only dated cis women, but lately have considered “opening that up to trans women”? At the end of the night when they don’t kiss me, how do I know if that’s because of me or because they decided tonight wasn’t the night to get adventurous? This is not a rare occurrence.
These days, headlines about gay penguins or genderqueer lions seem to pop up all the time. These circulate wildly, and are effective clickbait for curious (or outraged) straights and celebratory queers alike. But these headlines are only effective because of the assumption that nature follows the rules of heteronormativity. As it turns out, however, what we call “queerness” is the norm in nature, not the exception. From toads to nematodes, from dolphins to fruit flies, same-sex sexual behaviors are found in every corner of the animal kingdom. Once you look beyond animals to all of life on earth, well, things get even more queer.
Imagine a group of people who believe that manatees are destroying civilization.
Even though there is abundant evidence showing that humans endanger manatees and not vice versa, this hypothetical group continues to insist that manatees are a menace.
Imagine further that reporters are assigned to cover this group. But instead of including facts about manatees in their articles that would contradict the claims of this anti-manatee lobby, they don’t.
Instead, they quote someone who hates manatees, quote an environmentalist, and then as media critic Jay Rosen might say, just “leave it there.”
That would be a ridiculous dereliction of journalistic duty.
This is the kind of reporting you get when LGBTQ writers and reporters are cut out from mainstream media. It turns our everyday experiences into fodder for pundits, cranks, and transphobes. Phony or inconsequential organizations like “Rethink Identity Medicine Ethics” are elevated to legitimacy by publications who think their readers need to hear “both sides” of an issue, even when one side is composed of hatred. Many in mainstream print media have fallen into this sort of lazy both-sides-ism which ends up promoting the junk science and wild conspiracy theories of the anti-trans and larger anti-LGBTQ movements.
Je crois qu’on enseigne avec soin aux Blancs à ne pas reconnaître le privilège blanc, tout comme on enseigne aux hommes à ne pas reconnaître le privilège masculin.
Let’s pretend that CD Projekt Red don’t already have a history of transphobic tweets. Let’s put a pin in that and pretend we can engage with the game itself, on its own terms, in a vacuum.
Increasingly, we’re seeing more women onscreen dealing with mental illness, often in ways that treat their disorder as just one element in a fully human, complex character. But all of these women are white. Women of color—specifically African American women—are not afforded the same type of humanity onscreen, if they’re even represented at all.
Calls for visibility almost always occur in conjunction with appeals to normalcy. The argument goes something like this: “It’s okay that we are everywhere, because we are just like you, except for our sexual orientation (or some other difference).” The problem is, this strategy only works for LGBTQ+ people who come across as “normal” in most other respects. It most benefits individuals who are white, middle-class, able-bodied, and relatively conventional in their lifestyle and politics.
