Hey real shit, if you’re an anarchist with a dog and not critical of your classic training methods, huge overlooked blind spot. Absolutely wild to me that more anarchists are not Positive Reinforcement (R+) training nerds and double wild to me that there are anarchists actually rolling or hitting their dogs.

No gods no masters means you too.

It's really frustrating when I see people do good work, but then don't bother to make it accessible.

Real examples; Drag queen story time in a building with no wheelchair access
A union or organization putting out a statement through an image without adding alt text.

Just, a little solidarity would go a hell of a long way.

Why are men's clothing always barrel-shaped? Everything is straight; uniform; conformative; bland. Why are there no interesting shapes, styles or fabrics? Just jeans and shirts. It's like society is trying to tell us something.

This is an example of Speex, an audio compression codec specifically tuned for the reproduction of human speech.

knowing whether someone uses the way world of warcraft's chat filter rewrites the word "lol" as shorthand for laughing is a pretty good indicator of what kind of ideologies they subscribe to

plague 

in case there was ambiguity: there is currently no immunity to sars 2. if you haven't been recently boosted (<6 months) then you probably don't have antibodies. if you HAVE been boosted, it was with a vaccine made from an extinct strain. if you've been infected, your antibody response is very likely to be worse than if you were vaxxed. if you were infected, your T cells have probably become seriously fucked up (which is why monkeypox outbreaks started to happen after widespread covid infections)

plague 

"you probably already got [disabling virus that confers no immunity to itself] so there's no sense in continuing to avoid it" is such a nuclear take that only public health "experts" could've come up with it

COVID, death, ableism 

Vaccination is not the be-all-end-all of COVID control. Vaccination only protects those who are vaccinated from having as high a chance of dying; it does not protect the most vulnerable among us, and it does not create herd immunity.

I'm sick and tired of liberals who don't understand this basic fact. It is tremendously violently ableist to allow vaccinated people to go do whatever with no testing and no masks, because they inevitably will be carriers that infect and kill vulnerable people.

We truly are on the worst timeline.

Thanks to whoever sent me this high-quality entropy during #mch2022! :3

Ecofacism 

If you're genuinely worried about over population still?

Are you an advocate for bodily autonomy? Abortion rights?
Sex education, and access to birth control?

If not you're probably still just a fascist looking for an excuse to kill off people that don't look like you.

Happy self discovery journey.

Ecofacism 

"but we do have a population problem!!!"

No, we don't, we have a distribution problem and a racial capitalist problem.

We're in a world that's actively overproducing "useless stuff" that will never be used.
We are in a world that's shredding food on site instead of distributing that food locally (bananas come to mind).
We're in a world where it's often illegal to rescue edible food from the dumpster. Where is illegal to give your employees food that's about to expire, because it's a benefit and you have to pay/pay taxes on it. Where fresh bread are delivered by truck, and then returned to be scrapped, no one in the chain is allowed to take it home (we still did).

But, if you indeed feel strongly about it lowering the population, get snipped. Don't reproduce. If you still want kids, don't until you understand why ecofacism is bad, because no one should pass _that_ on to their children.

Hi,

I can't believe I need to say this:

Ecofacism is still fascism.

Thanks.
