I hope you got it back?
@welshpixie not sure this’ll be a good deal for the guy in the long run
@ljwrites Also, i can think of examples that were disproportionate in terms of level of response (mostly on tumblr bc thats where I was but i get the impression it happens on twitter at times as well). I remember a handful of times when people got up in arms over people to use the worst transsexual who were very clearly just like, allies/older queers using slightly outdated terminology (esp since often whatever they dug up would frequently have been a few years old already, so like from 2014 or so)
So its a shame he didn’t pick something like that if he wanted an example
@ljwrites yeah corporations love to blame individuals so that they don’t have to discuss wider issues! It’s annoyingly effective most of the time as well, esp since social media tends to have such a short (collective) attention span that people are already looking for reasons to move on to sometime else it feels like
@ljwrites ah I wasn’t familiar with all of the incidents that paragraph references, clearly I missed one of the important ones. My apologies!
@rabbithearth i don’t know if you’ve seen it, but popehat wrote a response to that nyt article that discusses a lot of the issues with people just going “cancel culture is bad” & makes some similar points
Mostly stuff I’ve seen individually before, but its handy to have them in one place: https://popehat.substack.com/p/our-fundamental-right-to-shame-and?s=r
@KittyUnpretty so he's not just an asshole but a poor businessman, lovely
@KittyUnpretty a funeral home???? Damn thats cold
abortion, religion (not the connection you would expect tho)
«Based on a moral imperative, Howard Moody, a Baptist minister, founded the first clergy group, the New York Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion. He encouraged clergymen throughout the country to set up similar networks to help women get safe abortions. These clergy groups, with the moral standing of organized religion, played a public role, announcing their work in the newspapers, framing the issue in more terms and advocating for legislative change. Both the clergy and women's liberation groups sought out competent abortionists, negotiated the price, raised money to pay for abortions and counseled thousands of women. Not only did they help women, but, by breaking the law, they also undermined it.»

If you're near Philly, you should come to our Magic Wormhole tutorial this weekend! Saturday & Sunday 12–6 PM, stop by whenever. https://iffybooks.net/magic-wormhole/
@WanderingBeekeeper oh this one went viral, maybe a month ago? Before Latvia had officially made their pick or the official music video had come out
Its success probably made it a slightly safer pick than it sounds haha
@cassolotl@queer.party LFT?
Food, utensils
@ljwrites @rabbithearth i look forward to hearing how you guys do at it if you do attempt! I might give it another shot over break next week as well
Food, utensils
@ljwrites @rabbithearth I use chopsticks a lot, to the absolute bafflement of my previous (Indian) roommate who seemed convinced that they were an innate & unlearnable skill. Though I still haven’t mastered the skill of picking up rice with my hands so I figured I couldn’t judge too much haha
Food, utensils
@ljwrites @rabbithearth ah okay that makes sense! Chopsticks are good for pasta in my opinion
Food, utensils
@rabbithearth @ljwrites i do not have your level of dexterity!
Food, utensils
@ljwrites which utensil goes with which dish?
blocking, boundaries
@ljwrites when I moved accounts I was definitely very ‘oh I really hope I don’t end up accidentally doing a block evasion’ for a while
Fortunate the two instances have…basically just people I follow in terms of overlap on the federated timeline, etc, so it hasn’t actually ended up being a problem as far as I know
@pixouls most of the billboards on the way into Philly are terrible — I always wish Mural Arts would add them to their list of things to fix
That one sounds fantastic tho 😆
@pagrus being sick sucks, you have full license to whine as far as im concerned
