i say “try” because, formally speaking, he was literally not allowed to, though that did not stop him from booting the staff from the slack and sending insulting emails talking about how he knew in his heart he just wanted to be in charge of the thing

Show thread

maybe njr should have had an editor review the emails he sent when trying to fire his full time staff

him having made a fuckton of money over the past year is not

Show thread

if he did it to avoid having to do the apawlogy video the NLRB demanded of him then honestly that’s pretty funny

i can’t believe the gorbachev pizza hut ad is a real thing that actually happened lmao

from earlier:

In this section we move on to the ideas of an influential philosopher who has written about gender : Judith Butler. One of the novel and ambitious hypotheses put forward by Butler is that not only gender, but sex itself is a social construct.

she literally quotes other feminists for raising this idea oh my fucking god

Show thread

The claim, by Butler, that sex can not be known about or, even exist,
prediscursively is testable.

oh no

An elegant study [Lederberg et al., 1986] proves conclusively that Butler is wrong. Were the Butler hypothesis true, deaf children would be unable to distinguish boys from girls.

WHAT

The researchers monitored deaf and hearing children aged 3 to 5 in terms of their preferences for same sex versus opposite sex playmates. The children were observed at playgroups and the time spent playing with same and opposite gender children was recorded. Both hearing and deaf children showed a clear preference for same sex play partners.

this disproves Butler how???????

i am linking disapprovingly 

like whew for somebody advocating maoist dialectics he sure does want to completely ignore a lot of particularities in the contradictions at play here. yes i did just say something that obnoxious, shut up

Show thread

you ever see a critique of idpol by proxy that is short and neither unique or nor not extremely oversimplifying of the contradictions at play, but somehow also extremely dense in how much of what was said could be Unpacked

Urgent Update 3 (hopefully final update) $$$ help, boosts appreciated 

(so to recap, I got back home from visiting my partner Sunday, got told at the last min, literally as I got home, that we had no water. I spent the past 2 days not eating, because of my stomach issues, ended up having bad a panic attack trying to use the bathroom, so I decided to stay with my uncle until things get fixed or the water comes back.)

so I was just told today that we have our (cold) water back, so I'm probably going back home today. I'm not going to go into details into how I feel rn, but in short, I'm Very Fucking Infuriated at everything that has happened.

BUT the upside to this is that I was able to finally get a little bit of food for the next week, thanks again.

I swear one of these days I'll actually have the nerve to finally fundraise so I can just get out of here.

I still have a lot of bills and personal things to deal with so yeah. ugh.
