It bothers me a lot when I see people acting like claiming a "Dominant" label means they're entitled to order around anyone they guess/know to be submissive. It tells me:

1. you're not safe: you're showing disregard for consent. You're not THEIR Dom unless they say so.

2. you're a shit Dom. If you understood dominance, you wouldn't have to be so heavy handed about advertising it.

Submission isn't something you can demand, it's something you need to *inspire*

A time traveller from the 2000's visits a modern software company

traveller: all your laptops have 32 GB of RAM in them?! Your devs must be doing some really heavy stuff, what the hell do they need all that memory for?

guide: web browsing.

traveller: ...you fukken wat mate?

oh shit thats right i said im defederating from mastodon.cloud tomorrow

please check to see if mastodon.cloud people are among your followers or people you talk to and talk them into switching!

mastodon.cloud was bought by a corporation that does not seem to have any clear motive to not use it as a way to collect data, so we'd rather not let that happen

When a colleague treats you as one of the girls, but does by greeting you with "You're so thin! You make me feel fat."

please, take a seat

today's gender is sleepy morning

so yeah. i went back on facebook. it's a mire of negativity and you have to tread water and bring lots of positive things to look at to use as floats so you don't sink into it

talking to cis people version of godwin's law:

when they bring up that you're trans to try to dismiss something you said that they disagreed with

when a white person says that they're "color blind" in response to discussion about racism, they think that they're saying "i am a tolerant person."

however, what they're actually saying is "i can't see racism, so i won't acknowledge it", which is a really messed up way to look at the world

closing our eyes and putting our heads in the sand doesn't make something go away. racism is here to stay until it is acknowledged, explicitly called out by name, and strongly addressed in every community.

because on some level i am sorta bi in terms of finding people from all over the gender spectrum attractive, but i find myself thinking actually really i only really wanna date other trans women?
i dunno. sexuality is weird

terfs: "trans women are just gay men who go through the whole of their transition just to avoid having to admit they're gay"

almost every trans woman i see on social media: "i'm gay. like, really really gay. i'm super super ultra gay"

I’m a centrist; I believe both sides have valid ideas, both Communism and Anarchism.

TFW you're a liberal but Mitt Romney is to your left
